宋代是佛教国家化和民间化同时加深的时代，官方与民间的力量交相作用于佛教。特别是偏安一隅的南宋之都城临安，因政治和当地崇佛传统,最为直观与突出地演绎出来自 民间的信仰力量与政府行为之间多层次的互动关系，一方面，官方以主动积极的赏赐和扶助去换取对信仰对象之官方塑造意图的实现，以达到其安民自安的目的;另一方面，该地民众深厚的信仰传统及占主流地位的信仰风俗与佛教争取发展的力量结成一体的作用力也不可小觑，这种力量引导国家力量对某些在民间影响广泛的佛寺给予民众所期待的支持。之所以能够产生这样的互动，究其原因，当与自唐后期开始，经五代而入宋逐渐明朗的平民化社会走向相关。

Sung Dynasty is a period when the strength from both government and civil society functioned in Buddhism,especially in Lin’an,the capital of Southern Sung, where the interaction between the Government and Civil Society on Buddhist Worship was most active and direct because.of the political character of the dynasty and the strong tradition of Buddhist worship in this area. On one hand, the government actively supported and awarded some certain Buddhist temples of its choice in exchange for the realization of its intention to mold commoners’worship in order to strengthen its dominion; on the other hand, the strength of commoners with enthusiastic worship and Buddhists intent to develop their temples functioned together to influeneed the government to support and award temples popular among the masses. The root, of the possibility of this interaction is likely to be the tendency that the society has gradually changed since late Tang Dynasty from a society of the nobility to that of commoners, which became clearer since Sung, with Five Dynasties as a period of transition.
