大同华严寺薄伽教藏殿的辽塑及经橱

Research of Liaosu and Sultra Shelf in the Bhagavad Sutra Hall of Huayan Temple

大同下华严寺薄伽教藏殿的辽塑和经橱,是佛教雕塑向民族化、世俗化和人性化方向发展的重要里程碑,是中国古代按照《营造法式》完成的小木作实物的典范,代表了11世纪中国建筑与雕塑艺术的最高水平。它反映了东北亚地区佛教建筑文化的最高成就,是燕云地域文化与中原文化融合的杰出范例。其所储存的大量辽代传统文化信息,为后人研究已经消失的辽代佛教文化提供了难得而独特的实例。

The Liaosu （sculptures in Liao Dynasty） and sutra shlefs in the Bhagavad Sutra Hall of Huayan Temple in Datng are a milestone for Buddhist sculptures to evolve towards secularization and humanity with remarkable nationality traits, and are a typical example of small wooden things according to the book ＂Ying Zao Fa Shi＂, representing the highest level of Chinese architecture and sculptures in the 1 lth centrual and the highest accomplishment of Buddhist architectural culture in north-east Asia, and the paragon for the cultural melting betwen Datong and central China. The cultural information preserved in these things are especially precious for researches to study the Buddhist cultural in Liao Dynasty that can hardly be found today.
