In addition, after clarifying the idea that conflict s with the conception of the body in China proper, from the identity attribute of the protagonists, such as the Buddhist monks and the People of the Western Regions, the elements of foreign culture which support this motif can be re-recognized. Derived from the introduction of the Buddhism, the Body Dismantling-restoration Motif began to appear from the Six Dynasties, such as the story related to Fo Tudeng. Compared with the anecdote of Yang Xiong in the Western Han Dynasty, it shows that the Body Dismantling-restoration Motif was used as a narrative technique, which helps to shape a divine and supernatural image of the monks. During the Tang Dynasty, the cultural communication between China and the Western Regions was flourishing. In the miscellany books and Dunhuang manuscripts, it finds that the Zoroastrian believers also dismantled their bodies and recovered later. However, the pattern is different from those stories of monks in the Six Dynasties, showing that the expressive form of the motif is multiple. On the other hand, there is a strange case recorded both in the Old and New Book of Tang. The Sogdian An Jincang cut his abdomen to protect the Emperor Ruizong, but regained consciousness after his viscera were replaced. But Yuan Zhen, as the scholar-official of the Mid Tang Dynasty, or even the Old Book of Tang which superficially praised An Jincang, both show a negative comment on the body dismantlement. It means that under the influence of Confucianism, a conservative view of the body still existed, which disapproves of cutting the body. Meanwhile, the concept of Qi, which developed from the Han Dynasty, also believes that restoration of body is impossible. In conclusion, the monks and the People of the Western Regions had got a special identity, which was formed through the records of those extraordinary happenings that shocked the people of China proper. In addition, either of them can escape the strict control over the body, therefore they could take on the roles as the protagonist of this motif.}, pages = {183--198}, title = {「身体解体・復元」モチーフの話にみる僧侶及び西域人 : 唐代を中心に}, volume = {6}, year = {2023} }
