唐太宗三教政策探析

Analysis of Emperor Taizong’s Three-religion Policy

自南北朝出现“三教”之目,后逐渐发展,到隋唐时代便有“三教合一”之说。“三教”在其发展中所表现出的思想或形成的社会力量,往往会被历代帝王用来为其政权服务。唐初太宗在位时期亦不例外,在以儒立国的前提下,对佛教和道教则因其发展情势各有提倡与限制,以达到“三教”之间的均衡发展。同时,对“三教”表现出的社会教化作用,唐太宗也极力提倡之。

Since the emergence of “three religions” in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it has gradually developed. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a saying that “three religions could be united as one”. The thoughts or social forces, formed by the “three religions” in its development, are often used by the emperors of the past to keep on the national fate. There was no exception, either even in the reign of Emperor Taizong in the early Tang Dynasty. Under the premise of ruling the country by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism were advocated and restrained by their developmental situation to achieve a balanced development between the “three religions”. At the same time, Emperor Taizong also strongly advocated for the role of "three religions" in the social indoctrination.
