摘　　要：本文主要从佛教法相唯识宗和禅宗出发,以佛教“相”的理论考察唐宋二代佛学的符号思想及其伦理价值。研究发现,作为大乘佛教中少有的“说有”宗派,法相唯识宗对符号世界的世俗性阐释,以及对符号与符号对象物互不相离关系的阐释,与当时唐朝士人强烈的“入世”精神高度契合,是当时佛学对盛唐气象的某种思想回应。而宋代禅宗倡导的摒弃符号再现体,以及通过符号隐喻机制达到“明心见性”的修行观,成为了当时士大夫群体处理内在主体与外在世界关系的理论遵循,并造就了宋代士人“身居世间、心怀出世间”的独特“出世”精神。Based on the theory of“Xiang”(concept/image)in Buddhism,this paper examines the semiotic thought and ethical value of Buddhism in the Tang and Song Dynasties.It finds that as a branchof“recognition of existence”’in Mahayana Buddhism,the consciousness-only school interpretation of the semiotic world and the analysis of the inseparable relationship between a sign and a sign objectare highly consistent with the strong spirit of“Chushi”of the Tang Dynasty,which was a type of ideological response of Buddhism to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.Zen Buddhism during the Song Dynasty advocated“abandoning the sign and achieving a clear mind to see nature”through the semiotic metaphor mechanism,which became the theoretical basis for scholar-officials to deal with their relationship with the external world and created a unique spirit of“Chushi”.
