佛教发展对北朝文风的影响

The Influence of the Development of Buddhism on the Literary Style of the Northern Dynasty

与南朝对佛教的兴趣偏重于义理不同,北朝佛法之特征主要表现为造像立寺、穷土木之功等礼佛实践。这种特征在思想领域体现为儒佛并重的文化倾向,也从表现内容、表达方式、体裁发展、语言丰富等不同方面对北朝文学产生了深刻影响,促使其形成“辞义贞刚”和“重乎气质”的独特文风。

Unlike the interest in Buddhism in the Southern Dynasty,which focused on doctrine,the characteristics of Buddhism in the Northern Dynasty were mainly manifested in the practice of ritual Buddhism,such as building statues and constructing temples at all costs.This characteristic was reflected in the field of thought as the cultural tendency of equal emphasison Confucianism and Buddhism,which also had a profound influence on the literature of the Northern Dynasties in different aspects,such as the content and the way of expression,the development of genre and the richness of language,and contributed to the formation of a unique style of“chaste and rigid rhetoric”and“emphasis on temperament”in the literature of the Northern Dynasty.
