Chan Master; Writing history; Genealogical construction
摘要
The century from the Sixth Patriarch Huineng (713) to the Baizhang Huaihai (814) is the period when Bodhidharma's transmission of Indian Buddhism gradually merged into Chinese culture and evolved into Chinese Chan. The era of Huaihai is also the historical period in the result of the formation of Chinese Chan. The construction of the image of the founder of Baizhang Huaihai reflects the contextualization of the history of Chinese meditation. The establishment of the inheritance pedigree is a direct result of the game of sectarian power and the growth of power. The biographical information on Baizhang Huaihai can be divided into three types according to the type of writing: Ta Ming, biography, and Deng Lu, reflecting the different rights consciousness and Chan master's imagination of various producers. In the rumors, the narrative focuses on the creation of the Qing rules, and the teaching of teachers is directly ignored. In the Deng Lu system, Huaihai was woven into the pedigree taught by Chan teachers. Huai Hai was in the Patriarchal System of Hongzhou in Mazu. The context of inheritance has become more and more clear and its status has become higher and higher. The writing of the Chan master image is directly related to the development and growth of the lower ancestors, the WeiYang and Linji ancestors. In other words, the writing about Huaihai's history serves the construction of the genealogy of the Mazu-Baizhang-Weiyang / Linji patriarchal system. This article is based on the interpretation of the history of the image of Chan masters in the Middle Tang dynasty, combing the game process of the construction process of Chan ancestral ancestry and the underlying sectarian power behind it, and seeing that Chinese meditation is completed in the tense relationship between “ancestors and power”. A picture of the development of Chan ideology.
