杭州雷峰塔地宫的清理

Excavation of the Crypt of the Leifeng Pagoda in Hangzhou

2000～2001年,对杭州雷峰塔遗址进行了考古发掘,发现部分重要碑刻,在地宫中出土了70余件珍贵文物。它的发掘为研究五代时期佛塔形制、地宫构造、寺院布局,以及了解吴越国末期的历史背景、佛教文化、工艺水平提供了宝贵资料。

In 2000 - 2001, the Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology carried out archaeological excavation on the site of the Leifeng Pagoda on thesouthern shore of the West Lake in Hangzhou. Great achievements were obtained from the excavation of the crypt, pagoda-foundations and peripheral remains, with important stele inscriptions brought to light and more than 70 treasures yielded from the crypt. The Leifeng Pagoda is a Buddhist building constructed by the royal family of the Wuyue State. Its excavation filled in the gap of Buddhist pagoda archaeology of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. The results provided valuable material for studying the Buddhist pagoda form, crypt structure and monastery layout in the Five Dynasties period, as well as the historical background, Buddhist culture and the technological level at the final stage of the Wuyue State.
