儒释文明的交融:前秦佛经翻译事业

The Civilizations' Fusion Between Confucianism and Buddhism:the Translating Cause of Buddhism Scriptures in Qian Qin Kingdom

十六国时期,占据长安的前秦政权一度统一了中国北方而对东晋形成压倒之势。这与霸主苻坚的统治密不可分。苻坚以儒家思想为统治基础,广泛起用汉族士大夫,明令禁止谶纬。苻坚对西域的佛教和西域高僧充满了热忱与幻想,迎请中外高僧,齐聚长安,建立起当时最大的译经中心。汉族士大夫赵整引导苻坚接纳佛教,苻坚支持赵整组织至少外国僧人7人、中土僧人17人荟萃一堂,翻译佛经至少31部。苻坚征襄阳,迎来高僧道安和佛弟子习凿齿;攻西域,迎请高僧鸠摩罗什。苻坚对佛教的热忱,极大地推动了佛教在当时中国的传播和发展,促进了儒、释文明的交融。
