幽州地区佛教与世俗家庭探略——以唐刻房山石经为中心

A Probe into Buddhism and Secular Family in Youzhou Prefecture——Taking the Fangshan Shijing of the Tang Dynasty as the Center

唐刻房山石经集中反映了幽州地区政治生态影响下世俗家庭佛教信仰的矛盾性。其原因在于,民众的佛教信仰在与我国以孝悌文化为代表的传统道德理念相互印证过程中,展现了血缘关系羁绊下宗教活动的高度聚合性。但却由于幽州地区特殊的政治地理环境,世俗家庭的宗教信仰在高度虔诚的同时又掺杂了对地方政治势力乃至皇权的强烈依附。这为我国古代边境地区政治与宗教关系的探讨提供了依据。

The Sui and Tang Dynasties were the most distinct time node in the process of Buddhist transformation,while the complex politics in Youzhou region focused more on the belief form of the blood relationship in China. The Fangshan Shijing is the largest stone Buddhist scripture group in Youzhou and even China.Based on this,this article examines the Buddhist beliefs of secular families in the Tang Dynasty scriptures to explore the secular family religious beliefs,the form of expression and its derived social significance in Youzhou during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Due to the special political and geographical environment in Youzhou,the beliefs of secular families were both highly religious and strongly attached to the local political power and even the imperial power. This provides a basis for the discussion of political and religious relations in China＇s ancient border areas.
