十三世纪前后景教在西部蒙古地区的流行及影响

The Prevalence and Impact of Nestorianism in the Western Part of Mongolian Plateau before and after 13th Century

景教(基督教聂斯托利派)最早于公元7世纪传人唐代中原地区,到武宗会昌灭佛(845年),景教在中原被禁绝,景教徒被迫迁居中亚和漠北地区,并在当地继续传教。在西部蒙古地区,克烈、乃蛮两部都广泛接受了景教,并对蒙元时期景教在西域和漠北蒙古高原的流行产生了较大的影响。

JingJiao(Nestorianism,a faction of Christianity) was introduced into China in Tang Dynasty in 7th century.Until WuZhong's 'HuiChang Forbidding Buddha' in 845 AD.,Nestorianism was also banned in Central Plains.Christians were forced to move to Central Asia and Mongolian Plateau,and they preached there.In the western part of Mongolian Plateau,the Naiman and Kerait tribe accepted Nestorianism widely,and greatly affected the popularity of Nestorianism in Western Region and Mongolian Plateau during Mongol Empire.
