关于古格王国早期佛教遗存的再探讨——兼评则武海源《西部西藏佛教史·佛教文化研究》

A Rediscuss of the Early Buddhist Sites in the Guge Kingdom——A Review on the book "Buddhist history of Western Tibet,A study of Buddhist Culture" by Kaigen Noritake

位于西藏西部阿里地区的古格王国境内现存有都城札不让以及皮央、东嘎等处以佛教文化为中心的遗址,对于这些佛教遗存的年代国际学术界有不同的观点,其中有意见认为这些遗址内现存的佛教殿堂年代均不会早到15世纪,本文从考古学和文献学两方面的证据提出,上述佛教遗存可分为早、晚两期,不应当轻率地否认其中早期遗存的存在。

In Mnga＇ris area of western Tibet, a part of the Guge Kingdom, there were a lot of Buddhist remainings, such as the site of Tsaparang, capital of Guge kingdom, the Cave of Phyingdhang and Dungkar etc. As to date of these remingin~, there are different opinions in the academic circle. Some took it for granted that the date for these Buddhist chapels could not be earlier than 15th century. Taking both evidences of archaeological and textual research, this article going to prooving that these Buddhist remaings could be divided into two different period： the earlier period which was dates round the 11th to 13th century, and the late period which was dates the 15th to 16th century. It is not reasonable to deny the the earlier period in existence.
