摘要
9世纪中后期的短短几十年,在中日交流中实则为奠定、开拓之后数个世纪的发展模式的关键时期。本文以《风藻饯言集》与“唐人书简”中收录的唐海商写给僧侣的诗及信件为主要考察对象,深入分析9世纪中后期在中日间往返的僧侣与海商之间的交流,力图呈现出当时这两个群体合作互动的基本模式与深层原因。在海商与僧侣的互动中,表面上看,僧侣求助于海商的时候很多,如:搭乘海商的船渡海、依靠海商传达信息、购买经书等,但实际上僧侣所处的佛教网络对海商具有很大的吸引力。海商试图利用佛教网络中的人际资源,为自己在贸易中争取更大利益。海商与僧侣的合作使得佛教网络与贸易网络开始展现出重叠乃至融合的趋势,这一趋势在接下来数世纪得到延续及增强。
The mid-to-late ninth century,although only a few decades,was a period that saw the establishment of an important pattern of Sion-Japanese exchanges,and that pattern lasted for several centuries afterward.This article investigates two collections of poems and letters written by the Tang sea merchants and offers an in-depth analysis of the interactions between merchants and monks who traveled between China and Japan in the mid-to-late ninth century.It shows that Buddhism was an important factor in the interactions between merchants and monks.It seemed that the monks in many aspects relied on the sea merchants’help:crossing the sea,purchasing sutras,and passing messages.But actually,the sea merchants also benefited from this cooperation.The merchants took advantage of their connections to the monks and used the Buddhist network that the monks were a part of to increase their trade profit.Because of the cooperation between the merchants and monks,the Buddhist network and trade network started to overlap and even integrate,a tendency that was further consolidated in the next coming centuries.
