宗教社會空間中的世俗化建構——以房山石經唐刻《大般若經》的刊鐫為中心=The Secular Construction in the Religious Social Space － Centering on the Maha-Prajna-Paramita-Sutra Carved in Fangshan Shijing of Tang Dynasty
The publication of the Maha-prajna-paramita-sutra in the Fangshan Shijing of the Tang Dynasty involved all class of Youzhou society, constructing a social space different from the sacred space of physical religion. Relying on the sacredness of religion, this social space shows obvious secular characteristics in terms of internal group composition, activity radiation range, and mass gathering form. In this religious space, various believers are combined in the form of family, region, group, etc., through different beliefs in participating in Buddhism, some express personal wishes, some imply political demands, and some reveal blood characteristics. The Buddhist activity of engraving Buddhist scriptures has been incorporated into a diversified belief concept, revealing the contradiction and dependence between the sacred and the secular in the religious space.
