炳灵寺第169窟发现一些新题材

Theme of Murals Newly Found in Binglingsi Cave169

炳灵寺第１６９窟是我国石窟中最早的佛教洞窟之一，自１９６３年甘肃省文物工作队攀登到该窟并在该窟发现西秦建弘元年（４２０年）墨书题记后，第１６９窟一直成为石窟研究关注的焦点。最近，利用工程脚手架攀登到窟的上部，又发现了一些新的西秦时期的佛教题材，这对进一步深入研究具有参考价值。

Binglingsi Cave 169 is one of the earliest Chinese Buddhist caves. Since the inscriptionwritten in the first year of Jianhong of the Western Qin was found in cave 169 by the Cultural Relic Work Team of Gansu Province in 1963, this cave has become the point of interestand studies. Recently, we newly found some theme of Buddhism of the Western Qin by using scaffold to climb up the top of the cave. They are of great value to the further studies.
