黄檗文化概念界定的回顾与考辩

Review and debate on the definition of the concept of Obaku Culture

准确界定黄檗文化的概念是相关研究的重要前提。将黄檗文化理解为佛教文化和福清地方文化,有很大的局限性;而以黄檗宗为黄檗文化内核,强调其已成为综合性文化形态的观点,则较严谨而科学。黄檗文化具有浓厚的华侨文化色彩,又实现了对华侨文化的超越,是中国古代海丝文化的重要组成部分和高端形态,也是封建时代后期中国优秀传统文化一次极大规模的对外传播,展现了中华文化的强大生命力。

The accurate definition of the concept of Obaku culture is an important prerequisite for related researches.The understanding of Obaku culture as Buddhism culture and Fuqing local culture has great limitations.It is more rigorous and scientific to use Obaku Zen as the core of Obaku culture,and to emphasize that it has become a comprehensive cultural form.However,it should be further recognized that Obaku culture has a strong color of overseas Chinese culture,and has achieved its transcendence.It is an important part and high-end form of the Maritime Silk Road culture in ancient China,and it is also a large-scale external spread of Chinese excellent traditional culture in the late feudal era,showing the strong vitality of Chinese culture.
