摘要
佛教"竹林寺传说"不仅在文言小说史上为唐宋之后的道儒两家所仿袭和改编,它对宋元乃至明清的通俗小说、戏曲影响也不小。考其本源,竹林寺的情节要素中均含有甚深的佛教文化渊源:寺庙中的圣僧或为菩萨或为罗汉,他们驻形于世,维护佛法;寺庙多在遥山大海之中,且时隐时显,神幻异常。竹林寺传说旨在宣扬佛法及弥补民众对世俗僧众的失望。
Buddist ＂Zhulin temple legends＂ are imitated and revised by both Taoism and Buddhism in classical fiction history after Tang and Song Dynasties. In addition, the popular fiction and operas in Ming and Qing dynasties are greatly influenced by Zhulin temple legends. The exploration of the origin of Zhulin temple legends reveals that their plot elements deeply originated from the Buddhist culture. The holy monks in the Zhulin temples are either Bodhisattva or Arhats, who assume human forms and spread the Buddha＇s law in the mortal world. The tem- ples are mainly located on remote mountains or in the middle of the sea, assuming a mysterious looming presence. The Zhulin temple legends aim to spread the Buddha＇s law and compensate for people＇s disappointment with worldly monks.
