| Abstract | European-language scholarship on Buddhism in nineteenth—and early twentieth—century China has traditionally relied heavily on sources originally produced by Christian missionary scholars. While the field has since broadened its scope to include a wide variety of sources, including Chinese-language and ethnographic studies, missionary writings continue to be widely cited today;and yet we must acknowledge that the study of orientalism has brought to the fore several critical problems of bias and perspective inherent in these types of materials. Rather than dismissing them, this paper offers a preliminary model for making responsible use of the vast corpus of material on Buddhist religious culture produced by Christian missionaries resident in China. It does so by means of an examination of two figures: Joseph Edkins 艾約瑟 (1823-1905), and Earl Herbert Cressy 葛德基 (1883-1979). I will argue that through a better understanding of the historical context of Christian scholarship and mission work and in China, we may negotiate their biases and thereby access a unique and useful historical perspective on this critical period of Chinese Buddhist history.
在清末民初中國佛教的研究裡，傳統上大量依賴清末民初駐華基督教傳教士所生產的史料。雖然這研究場域已擴大其視角，而包含了多樣豐富的資料種類，但在今日學者仍一如往昔地援引駐華傳教士所生產的史料，儘管在這些史料的使用上蘊含著一些重大的成見與立場問題。
通過檢視兩位具有代表性的傳教士— 艾約瑟(Joseph Edkins, 1823-1905)與葛德基(Earl Herbert Cressy, 1883- 1979)，本文將提供如何使用駐華傳教士所生產的有關佛教 文化之龐大史料的一個範例。
本文的論點在於，透過詳究傳教士在華宣教事業的歷史背景，我們或許就能避免他們的成見，而能掌握中國佛教史上清末民初這一關鍵時期的大量史料。 |
