明末清初闽籍黄檗禅僧对中日文化交流的历史贡献

Historical Contribution of Fujian Huangbo Buddhist Monks in the Late Ming and Early Qing Dynasties to the Cultural Exchange Between China and Japan

明末清初大批闽籍高僧东渡日本,开创黄檗宗,为长期萎靡不振的日本佛学界注入新的生机,对江户时代日本文学、语言、书法、绘画、建筑、造桥、医学、饮食、茶道、雕版印刷等方面都产生了深远影响。随着黄檗宗的不断发展,中国传来的思想和文化超越了宗教层面,波及江户时代日本社会生活各个层面,形成一个综合性的文化形态,称为黄檗文化。现今黄檗文化依然对推进当代中日文化交流、加强两国民间往来,具有重要积极作用,同时也是亚洲文明交流互鉴的重要体现。

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a bulk of monks from Fujian sailed to Japan and created Huangbo, which not only injected new vitality into the flagging Japanese Buddhism, but also had a profound impact on Japanese literature, language, calligraphy, painting, architecture, bridge building, medicine, diet, tea ceremony, woodblock printing in the Edo period. With the continuous development of the Huangbo, the ideas and culture passed from China transcended the religious level and affected all levels of Japanese social life in the Edo period, forming a comprehensive cultural form called Huangbo Culture. Today, the Huangbo culture proceeds to promote the cultural exchanges between China and Japan and strengthen the contacts between the people of the two countries, which is also an important demonstration of cultural exchanges and mutual learning between Asian civilizations.
