古代佛教入华的岭南交广海路及其影响

摘要

Buddhism＇ s early spreading in the Lingnan area had a little effect on people＇s life, which was a great difference with the North＇ s. The main reasons may be the tbllowmgs. Ethnic groups of Baiyue m Lmgnan had their traditional and complex rehgious and customs. Taoism＇ s development in the Lingnan area is better. The social situation in Lingnan area was relatively stable and Buddhism lacked the social basis for development. And the low level of social productivity and culture in Lingalan restricted the development of Buddhism.%在佛教入华的三条路径中，岭南交广海路作用最大。佛教传入岭南的时问大约在东汉末年。佛教在岭南的早期传播相对缓慢，对民众生活习俗影响甚微，这一点和北方的情形相差很大，主要原因有以下几方面：岭南百越各部族原始宗教思想和习俗纷繁复杂，不利于佛教的传播；道教更加适应岭南社会，发展更为迅速，变相排斥了佛教的发展；与中原地区相比，岭南社会相对稳定，接受佛教思想的社会基础较为薄弱；社会文化水平落后，限制了佛教的传播，
