【摘要】 众所周知,欧阳修作为北宋著名的政治家和文学家,他的一生参与了许多重大活动,在领导宋代诗文革新运动中,他不仅发展了韩愈的古文运动精神,而且也继承了韩愈排击佛老的思想,他对佛教的批判是坚定明确的。但同时,在宋代佛教盛行的社会背景下,欧阳修自然亦会受到这种时代趋势潜移默化的影响。从史料及其个人文学作品来看,他曾与多位佛门禅僧有着密切的来往,在生活中亦常常游历山林寺院等地,这些都无疑拉近了他与佛教的距离。本文将分为三章来探讨欧阳修与佛教的关系:在第一章中,本文主要分析了欧阳修的排佛思想,其中包括三部分:首先,论述了欧阳修对韩愈排佛思想的继承与发展;其次,主要讨论了欧阳修对石介辟佛信念的支持及二者在排佛方法上的差异;最后,通过对欧阳修作品的分析,探讨了其排佛思想上的进步及不足之处。第二章是本文的重点,主要分三部分来考证欧阳修与禅僧的交往状况并分析其对禅僧的观点态度:首先,本章列举了佛教典籍中记载的与欧阳修交往的法师;其次,考证了欧阳修诗文作品中所涉及的八位禅师,并探讨了他与这些方外之士的交谊情况;最后,分析了欧阳修作品中对历史上禅僧的赞赏与好评。本文的第三章主要分析了欧阳修的寺院题诗、记文及塔寺碑铭跋尾。首先,通过欧阳修为寺院所写记文及塔寺碑铭跋尾,分析了他对寺院文化的认知及其对佛教文化的思考;其次,通过欧阳修的寺院题诗,讨论了他喜爱游览寺院的原因及游寺生活对其心境的影响。更多还原

【Abstract】 Ouyang Xiu was a prominent Chinese statesman, historian, essayist and poet of the Song Dynasty (960-1279). As the leader of the literary reform movement in the Northern Song dynasty, Ouyang advocated the“Ancient Style Prose”, a simpler, more direct prose, which was pioneered by Han Yu, the great master of Tang dynasty (618-907) literature, to replace the mannered and excessively rhythmic style then popular. Like Han Yu, Ouyang was firmly opposed to Buddhism. However, the prevalence of Buddhism in the Northern Song dynasty exerted a subtle influence on him. According to related historical materials and his writings, Ouyang was on good terms with several Buddhist monks and visited temples a lot throughout his life. The thesis contains three chapters to explore the relations between Ouyang Xiu and Buddhism.The first chapter mainly discusses Ouyang Xiu’s opposite thought of Buddhism. In the first part, the author talks about Ouyang’s continuation and development of Hanyu’s opposition to Buddhism. In the second part, the author focuses on Ouyang’s recognition of the litterateur Shi Jie’s refutal of Buddhism and the differences between their methods to go against Buddhism. In the third part, the author points out the progress and defect of Ouyang’s opposite thought of Buddhism through an analysis of his writings.The second chapter emphasizes on Ouyang Xiu’s relationship with Buddhist monks and his attitude towards them.
