诠释信仰:回鹘与摩尼教关系的多维透视——杨富学著《回鹘摩尼教研究》评介

Interpretation of Faith: The Relationship between Uighur and Manichaeism from a Multidimensional Perspective——A Review of Uighur Manichaeism Written by Yang Fuxue

摩尼教是回鹘人的主要信仰之一,它对回鹘社会的文化、政治、经济等产生过深刻的影响,因此摩尼教研究是回鹘研究领域中一个重要的方面。《回鹘摩尼教研究》一书系统地论述了回鹘与摩尼教之间激荡融合的历史过程,校勘和补正了以往研究中的诸多问题,多角度诠释回鹘的摩尼教信仰,堪称回鹘学研究的典范之作。

Manichaeism was one of the main religions followed by the Uighur people and exerted a profound influence on culture, politics, and economy in the development of Uighur society. The book Uighur Manichaeism systematically narrates the historical process of the collision and convergence of the Uighur nationality and Manichaean religion, collates and revises many issues in previous research efforts, and analyzes Uighur faith in Manichaeism. As research on the relationship between Uighur culture and Manichaeism has long been overlooked by anthropologists, this can be regarded as a significant work for the field of Uighur studies.
