佛教在两汉之际传入中国,在汉文化的土壤中生根,与汉文化进行了很好的融合,这种融合最突出地表现在了语言方面。佛教成语逐渐融入汉语,并受到汉语系统的制约和影响,在汉语中沉淀下来,并产生了众多新词语,包括音译、意译、无梵文的四字格成语,在流传使用的过程中,这些成语的意义也或多或少地发生了变化,有词义保留、词义扩大、词义缩小、词义转移世俗化这些现象,梵语与汉语的融合,对汉语词汇的发展有着深远的影响。 Buddhism was introduced into China during the Han Dynasty and took root in the soil of Han culture and merged well with the Han culture. This fusion was most prominently expressed in terms of language. The idioms of Buddhism gradually merge into Chinese, and are restrained and influenced by the Chinese system. They settle down in Chinese and produce many new words, including the four-character idioms of transliteration, free translation and no Sanskrit. In the process of spread, these idioms Has more or less changed its meanings. Some phenomena such as the retention of meaning, the expansion of meaning, the reduction of meaning and the secularization of meaning transfer have a profound influence on the development of Chinese vocabulary.
