The Conflict And Fusion Of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism Sui And Tang Dynasties

Ancient China has been known as"three religions".The co-exist and complementary of the three religions, is the basic pattern of traditional Chinese culture. Study of the relationg of the Three Religions, can more clearly see the profound differences of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, their basic characteristics and their thinking track of the evolution; can see more clearly the overall face of the philosophy and Chinese culture; can seen more clearly the fundamental characteristics, the basic direction, the spirit power, the general trend, as well as the total law of Chinese culture. It is worth mentioning by grasping the relationship between the three religions to present "the new three Cultural system"——western science and technology culture,traditional Chinese culture and socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and provide useful lessons, also provide a useful blend of inspiration, for the global multi-culture of competition.The formation of the pattern is characterized that the existence and development of the three religions is not separate and independent, but on the one hand, they conflict Continuously with each other to struggle to find their own position and role; on the other hand, absorb each other in the conflict, and learned from integration, so as to promot China’s internal integration of academic thinking and development. This phenomenon is the total landscape of the ideological and cultural development since the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the overall relationship between the three religions is the conflict and integration between the three religions, that is to say, revealing the conflict and integration between the three religions can grasp basicly and comprehensivly the relationship between the three religions. Sui and Tang is not only the period of the most obvious and the fullest change of three religions’s conflict from start, expansion to initial digestion, but also the period of the gradual integration start and complet the most interactive three religions to manifest itself in Chinese culture characteristics and values, as well as Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing’s relations of the three religions to make the important groundwork. Learn from academic research results will be taught the relationship between the Sui and Tang Dynasties as phase separation of the three religions, and the overall Features of the three religions is characterized by conflict and integration, the main aim to reveal fully the course of the conflict and integration of the Three Religions, to find it contained opportunities and factors, and to further explore the context of its internal development, focusing mainly on how to solve the three religions at the national unified real exchange occurs under the collision and merging; how to integrate in such a Buddhist theory of creativity in the show to a climax at the same time.This also seems to imply that the climax of the Buddhist theory of resource exhaustion, and then was overtaken by Neo-Confucianism and absorb, and Confucianism under stimulation in the Buddhist theory of mutation and transformation must take place, and breeds a more profound study Neo-Confucianism Theory of a variety of factors; and the three religions of Buddhism in particular, how to get started to go in the Chinese society.This is the expectation of this article in order to grasp overally and profoundly the relationship between the Sui and Tang Dynasties。In order to achieve this end, the papers in accordance with the order of time, subdivid the relationship between the three religions of the Sui and Tang Dynastiesinto into four stages:Sui, the Early Tang Dynasty, Sheng-Tang Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty, and Correspondingly, the full text will be divided into four chapters. We found that, from the characteristics of conflict and integration, in the Sui and Early Tang Dynasty (the first two chapters) the main performance is conflict, in the Tang Dynasty (the third chapter) is the digestion of the conflict and planning of integration, in the Later Tang (the fourth chapter) is the integration of the three religions.In order to better grasp the relationship between the three religions in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, in revealing the course of the conflict and integration of three religions in the Sui and Tang dynasties in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, also highlight the following important clues:First, in the evolution, three religions can be summed up common and prominent features in their each period more or less features, that is, the Sui and Early Tang Dynasty, prominent nationalization politicization of three religions; Tang chapter prominent theoretical; in the mid-Tang and Later Tang chapter prominent socialization, and this is the relationship between all three religions of the sub-addresses issues and the overall focus of the summarized characteristics. This clue is very clear. Second, learning from academic research resultsdrawing, think the separation of three religions as the total fenture of the relationship.But further detail it and think that Sui Dynasty from historical experience, is the stage of the horizon of the separation of three religions,at the same time,sheng-Tang Dynasty Basically complet.Third, regardless of the conflict and integration, or separation from the three religions, the critical theoretical issues of the three religions is heart and mental problem, Theoretically, it is the biggest feature of the relation of three religions in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The above are the overall understanding of the relationship of three religions, the following are the main elements of each sub-point and innovation to reveal:ChapterⅠfocus on the relationship between the three religions of the Sui Dynasty. Although the ruling time of Sui Dynasty is very short, there are many significant opening points. The main clues is how to achieve the nationalization of three religions and initially open a new separation pattern of three religions. In the exploring process this Chapter attend to the following innovation points: First,by a large number of the facts show various manifestations of the separation from all aspects so that there is a strong basis; second, the inspection of Taishan at the turn of AD 595 to 594 is an important key point of the relationship between the three religions of the Sui Dynasty; Third, we must highlight the relationship in Sui Yang Di period, is thinked as the overall results of the relationship of the three religions in Sui Dynasty; Fourth, the North-South relations and cultural exchanges is a major three religio’s background, the complex mixture of the three religions of the integration of the North-South cultural differences need to be able to digest the Tang Dynasty, and Sui Dynasty has done a lot of exploratory groundwork.chapterⅡfocus on the relationship between three religions in the early Tang Dynasty. The separation of the Three Religions is consolidated on the basic of the Sui Dynasty. The prominent feature is that the Confucian Classics is united and nationalized once again since the Han Dynasty. But gradually the cultural policy of attaching more importance to Taoist arouse the intense conflict among the three religions(especial Taoist and Buddhism). Of course, these conflict excit the Taoist to begin a great theory transformation, that is, the re-emergence of Double-Metaphysics. Innovations are:First, this part highlighted the general characteristics of the nationalizational conflict of the three religions. Second, the regime was very rational and good at striking a balance point in the adjustment of the three religions.Third, the re-birth and evolution of Double-Metaphysics is fully revealed and place particular emphasis on the representative Cheng Xuanying Double-Metaphysics to clear the complex relation between Buddhism and Taoism.ChapterⅢdiscussed the Sheng—Tang dynasty (From AD 650 to 755 years), which is the core part of of this paper. Sheng—Tang Dynasty reflects the typical characteristics of the relationship between the three religions. Nationalization of three religions is established, and Separation of the three religions is truly completed, which marked the full realization from Confucianism—Taoism complementary model since Wei and Jin dynasties to the Separation model of the three religions three religions in the ancient Chinese society. This is not only maintained the conflict (the main theory conflict), but also transferred to began to focus on the positive integration of the three religions.In the period, conflicts reduce and the most creative integration appear. In order to sort out a more detailed sequence of development, in accordance with Gaozong period, and Wu Zetian in paragraph is divided into three sections. The detailed development situations are omitted.ChapterⅣdiscusse the relationship between the three religions of the mid and late Tang Dynasty.The great social changes of An-Shi Rebellion make the relationship between the three religions have a new shift, in which the relationship between the regime and the three religions there are significant changes.The total characteristics is the conflict between the three religions decrease significantly and integration show out,which make them start their difficult search for a new exploration. In particular, a large number of Confucianism scholar engaged in efforts to save the world, and in exchanges with Buddhist to build their own orthodoxy theory, mind theory, and a large number of Scholars join the Buddhist; Taoism are in low, but have new Progress, For example, Du Guang ting appear and make a sum of Taoism. These show that the three religions gradually go into the Chinese society, with secularization, socialization, and folk.In addition, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism discrepancy occurred in turn in the late Tang and Five Dynasties.Integration of three religions is the mainstream, which do a theoretical preparation for Neo-Confucianism.The conflict and integration in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, provide us with profound and abundant inspiration.They reflect mainly in three aspects:First, the development and mature of the culture is carried out in the blend, and the absorb and innovation in the exchange of culture is an important driving force for the development, and innovation is the soul of academic innovative and academic progress. Second, wide open mind and a great attitude, with the freedom of political and cultural environment are the prerequisite and basis for the cultural creation. Third, the cultural spirit pursuit of harmony is the mainstream of all Chinese values. We learn from these lessons and will get infinite earnings, which is also the ultimate goal and the value of the pursuit of this paper.
