北中国视野下的河西早期石窟——河西早期石窟研究之下

Early Hexi Grottoes in North China and Related Issues——A Study on Early Hexi Grottoes (Ⅱ)

对河西早期石窟与炳灵寺第169窟、云冈石窟、麦积山第74、78窟关系的梳理表明,早期石窟在河西的传播并不一定由西到东,还应存在跳跃或迂回现象。长安佛教可能对炳灵寺和云冈石窟都产生了很大影响,而且长安与河西早期石窟一样可能也都有自己的独特来源。长安佛教在北中国早期石窟史中的地位值得继续仔细评估。

An investigation of the relationship between early Hexi grottoes and cave 169 of the Binglingsi Grottoes,the Yungang Grottoes,and caves 74 and 78 of the Maijishan Grottoes indicates that cave construction in Hexi was not necessarily following the dissemination route from west to east,and that cave construction also might have skipped some areas or detoured.Buddhism in Chang’an might have had a great influence on both the Binglingsi Grottoes and Yungang Grottoes,and Chang’an,just like early Hexi grottoes,might also have its own unique sources.The status of Buddhism in Chang’an in the history of early cave temples in North China deserves to be carefully evaluated.
