从东汉末年到北宋末年,中国古代的佛经翻译大致分为四个阶段:草创时期、发展时期、全盛时期、结束时期,纵观其发展,一直存在着“文”“质”之争,即直译与意译的此消彼长,但从历史长河来看基本上是由质趋文的过程,而浩瀚的古代佛经翻译为中国译学理论也奠定了基础。 From the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the late Northern Song Dynasty, the translation of Buddhist scriptures in ancient China can be roughly divided into four stages: grass-making period, development period, heyday and ending period. Throughout its development, there has always been a “text” and “quality” Argument that literal translation and free translation disappear from each other, but from the historical point of view is basically the process of textual prose, and the vast ancient Buddhist translation for the Chinese translation theory also laid the foundation.
