外来文化对早期土家族的影响——来凤仙佛寺摩崖造像的考证

Influence of External Culture On Early TUjia Nationality——A survey of Moya Image of Xianfo Temple in Laifeng, Hubei province

湖北来凤仙佛寺摩崖造像始于何时,一曰东晋,一曰五代,均以残碑“文字”为证而得出结论。笔者经过实地考察,主要从造像的题材、样式与中原、四川等地区佛教造像流布情况的分析比较中,得出与前两说不相同的结论,并就此阐明了仙佛寺的文化意义。

When was the Moya statue carved? One says in East Jin dynasty, the other says in Five Dynasty . Both are proved by the inscriptions on the broken stablet. The author makes a survey there himself, comparing the topic and style of the statue with the Buddist's statue distributed in the area such as Central Plains, Sichuan, etc, and gets the different conclusion. The author also states the cultural significance of the Temple.
