试论《涅槃经》的传译对王微画论观念的影响

Influences of Translation and Dissemination of Nirvana Sutra on WANG Wei's Concept of Painting

随着《大般涅槃经》的译出与弘传,既证实了竺道生此前关于顿悟成佛与一阐提成佛义的论断,也带来了涅槃学的兴盛,以及魏晋南北朝时期佛学与玄学思想的进一步融合,从而引发了其时艺术理论的某些细微转向。本文尝试就《涅槃经》的传译对王微画论观念所产生的影响展开论述。

The translation and dissemination of the long Nirvana Sutra,not only proved ZHU Daosheng＇s earlier assertions of the sudden enlightenment and the icchantika＇s being able to find release into Nirvana,but also brought the prosperity of Nirvana theories and further integration of Buddhism and metaphysics in the period of Wei,Jin,and Southern and Northern Dynasties,which led to some subtle turnings of the art theories at that time. Such influences on WANG Wei＇s concept of painting are discussed.
