《天龙八部》是金庸武侠小说中的一部鸿篇巨制,该作品的“释名”指出作品名称来自于佛经,是以“天”“龙”为首,性情各异、拥有神通的八种佛教护法神。金庸先生初时写作借用了这个词,表现了自己的创作思想,众多研究者也因为这个原因,将本书的主题定位为“佛教”思想。然而,我们对该部小说进行了进一步地分析,发现其中也依然展现出了金庸先生对道家思想的追求。 “Tian Long Ba Bu” is a masterpiece in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels. The title of “Shi Ming” of Jin Yong’s martial arts novels is from the Sutra, which is composed of “Heaven” and “Dragon” Eight kinds of magical powers of God. Mr. Jin Yong borrowed the term from the very beginning to express his creative thinking. For this reason, many researchers have also positioned the subject of the book as “Buddhism.” However, we conducted a further analysis of the novel and found that the pursuit of Taoism is still displayed by Mr. Jin Yong.
