中日古代女性的文学书写与佛教——以朱淑真与藤原道纲母为例

On the Relationship between Buddhism and the Work of Ancient Chinese and Japanese Female Writers—— Exemplified by Zhu Shuzhen and Michitsunanohaha

在宋代女诗人朱淑真的诗词作品中,与佛教相关的词句时有出现,反映了宋代士人阶层女性对于佛教的理解与接受。在日本平安朝贵族女性藤原道纲母的《蜻蛉日记》中,也有诸多关于参拜礼佛的叙述,成为考察平安朝贵族女性的文学活动与佛教信仰之间关系的重要线索。二者之间有相似之处,但在女性文学传统、佛教信仰与文学书写之间的关系、作者对于自我的审视与表述等方面都存在巨大的差异。

Zhu Shuzhen, a poet in the Song Dynasty, often added Buddhist elements into her poetry. This indicates the fact that female scholars of the Song Dynasty tended to understand and embrace the nature of Buddhism. In Kagerō Nikki,composed by Michitsuna no Haha who was a poet among the Japanese nobility of the Heian period, there are many narrations about paying respect to Buddha which can provide us with a second example of the relationship between the creation of literature and a belief in Buddhism. Despite similarities between these two authors they expressed themselves in remarkably different ways in terms of the tradition of women's literature and the relationship between belief in Buddhism and the act of literary creation.
