摘　　要：北魏"像教"的复兴,如果只从需求上看,体现了佛教自身的需求与社会政治、文化和经济发展需求的交互作用,是宗教与社会相适应的结果。若从社会结构的高度上来看,佛教适应的过程则是社会发展进程中,宗教社会的规则和资源之间的结合方式逐步调整的过程。显然这种调整不是随机和任意的,它受到社会权力秩序的制约和引导。所以,从外在表现上来看,造像行为在北魏时期是以宗教和政治行为的样态呈现的。但是,它的行为效果却并非仅仅体现在造像的塑和拆之间,其社会意义是复杂和深远的。The revival of ＂ Statue Religion＂ in Northern Wei period reflects the interaction between the demand of Buddhism itself and the demand for political, cultural and economic development at that time, that is, the result of Buddhism＇s adaptation to society. In terms of social structure, however, the adaptation of Buddhism is a process of adjustment between Buddhist principles and social resources, which does not take place randomly, but is influenced and guided by social forces. Superficially, building religious statues is a religious and political action, but its effect is not limited in the establishing or demolishing statues; instead, it has profound and long-lasting social significance.
