云冈石窟雕刻艺术的文化特征

Cultural Characteristics of Yungang Grottoes Carving Art

云冈石窟以其独特的文化艺术价值被列为世界文化遗产。云冈石窟雕刻艺术是中国传统文化与外来文化有机交融的典范;是中原农耕文化与草原游牧文化相得益彰的结合。中外不同民族的优秀文化在这里融合、升华,创造出中国佛教造像艺术的经典模式——平城模式。这种造像模式对北魏其它地区及后代佛教造像艺术都产生了重大影响,云冈石窟是中国佛教造像艺术的第一个里程碑。

Due to its unique cultural and artistic value,Yungang Grottoes,the first milestone of China’s Buddhist carving art, is celebrated as one of the world cultural heritages,with its carving art characterized by a combination both of Chinese tradition and foreign culture, and of an agricultural civilization of the central plain and a nomadic one of the northern prairie. The excellent cultural elements of both Chinese and other nationalities fused,blended and refined,giving birth to a classic model of Buddhist carving art of China --- the Model of Pingcheng City,one that made great difference to that of the other districts during the North Wei Dynasty and for later generations.
