| Abstract | 賴永海主編十五卷本《中國佛教通史》於 2010 年 11 月出版後，廣受大陸學界好評，評者稱讚本套書：內容豐富，體系宏大，拓寬了《通史》的覆蓋面和學術容量，不但完成了幾代中國學者的夙願，填補了中國佛學研究的一大空白，更提升了佛學研究的國際形象，堪稱是中國佛教研究的里程碑。但筆者在翻閱該套書後，卻發現：其體例與架構大有問題，除系統欠明、時間錯亂外，對近百年來佛教之發展與變遷，並沒有很好的呈現，尤其是有關臺灣佛教、民國佛教部分；另有關 1949 年以後中華人民共和國建國後的佛教發展論述也完全缺乏。筆者以為，一套理想的《中國佛教通史》，除應該採納美國漢學家費正清主編的《劍橋中國史》的範式，尤應注意吸收最新的研究成果，才能反映當代學界研究應有的平。理想的中國佛教（通）史，除章節安排上要合理，對某些議題，也要能作一些「創造性的探索」，如此才可提供專家學者參考，也能適合一般讀者。總之，一本（套）著作不管其份量多少，本身就應是一完整「有機體」，此有機體是否完美，可從書的結構、是否能掌握最新研究成果、撰稿者之素質等方面來檢驗，但無疑地，其中以書的結構問題最關重要。而中國佛教（通）史之撰述，也離不開這些原則。
In Yong-Hai Lai's fifteen volume anthology "Chinese Buddhism History" that was published in November 2010, the collection has taken the interest of Chinese’s academic community: the content is magnanimous, the structure complex, and a fully comprehensive history , he has fulfilled the wish of several generations of Chinese historians by plugging the holes of history that had been previously left blank. He has also increased Buddhism studies on an international level and have become the focal point of Chinese Buddhism studies. However, during the editing process, the author realized that therv was a fundamental problem in the structure of the anthology in which the time line was skewed and the history of Buddhism in the last 100 years did not fully cover the development and changes, particularly that of Taiwanese Buddhism, nor of Buddhism pre-1912. Also information concerning the post-1949 PRC and the civil war was also missing. The author believed that to create an ideal text, that not only does he have to emulate Chinese historians in America such as the Cambridge Chinese History, but he should also use the latest research results to reach a modern standard for research. In this ideal Chinese Buddhism text, besides properly organizing the information, no matter what the topic is, that there must be “innovative research”. Only then will it give the experts in the field a proper context, and also make sense to the ordinary reader. Overall, an anthology, to Yong-Hai Lai, does not simply require quantity, but also be a living, breathing organism in that the anthology should be able to take in these new research methods to come to a conclusion. As for the Chinese Buddhist History, it cannot stray away from this fundamental point. |
