试论佛经转读对中国传统诗歌吟诵方式的影响

Discuss on the Influence of "Reading" Buddhist Sutras to Chinese Traditional Poetry Chanting

魏晋南北朝,佛经吟唱随着佛教的流入与传布而兴起,其诵唱方式,除去自我修行的诵经外,还有三种是以声来传教的,其中,转读,当属吟诵;梵呗,当属歌诗;唱导,则近于说白。这些以声通神、以音传教的吟唱方式,所具有的高妙的发音技巧、富美的声韵特点、多样的声腔方式,以及以吟诵为修行的艺术特质,无不对中国传统的诗歌吟诵方式产生着或潜或显影响。而为这些影响提供可能性的,则是当时文人与僧人的密切交往,以及他们对于声辞音韵美的共同追求。

There was three chanting ways based on the vocal preaching except the chanting way of self-culture, 'reading' belongs to chanting; 'fanbei' belongs to singing poetry; 'express' belongs to speaking.All these methods based on the voice,having high pronunciation skills, perfect vocal characteristics, various spoken ways, and artistic characteristics by chanting for practice, impacted the Chinesetraditional chanting ways. However, which had provided the possibilities were close relationships between scholars and monks,and the common goal of the beauty of the words and phonology.
