摘　　要：民国初年的历法变革在给佛教带来冲击的同时,也为其在近代社会的发展创造了机遇。佛教团体通过推行佛历与变革佛诞庆祝方式努力将佛教传统融入民初社会,而道阶法师于1913年举办的佛诞纪念会更是将佛诞庆祝与民初精英阶层开启民智、增加民众国家意识的诉求有效地结合了起来。至1923年,佛诞纪念会甚至被认为为中国的统一提供了契机。The calendar reform during the Republican period created problems as well as new opportunities for Chinese Buddhism.Through establishing a Buddhist calendar and reforming the celebration of Buddha’s birthday,the Buddhist institutes merged their tradition into the Republic society.Monk Daojie(道阶法师)further combined his ceremonies for the 1913 birth anniversary for Buddha with the reform-minded elites’state-building projects,such as enlightening the mass and constructing national identity.In 1923,some elites even claimed that the ceremonies for the Buddha’s birth anniversary provided a chance for China’s reunification.
