北齐武平三年马仕悦等造佛石像碑研究

A Buddhist Steles Created by MA Shiyue in 572 A.D.

上海博物馆藏马仕悦造像碑,雕造精美,题材丰富,是一件不可多得的精品,但迄今尚未见有专题研究。文章从佛经、铭文结合造像特点的角度探讨马仕悦碑的竖三世题材,比对同时代纪年造像碑和石窟造像,分析此碑龛内主尊像的服装和姿势特点,并以造像特点结合铭文考证的方式推断出马仕悦碑的建造地点为河南。

A Buddhist stele created by MA Shiyue collected in Shanghai Museum is exquisite in carving and rich in subject matter as exceptional fine works on which there has been no thorough researches so far though some scholars discussed a bit before without an in-depth analysis. This essay thus discusses the subject matter of Trikalea Buddhas from three aspects of Buddhist scripture, inscription and statue to infer the construction sites of these steles were in Henan province by comparing their contemporary steles and grotto statues with a highlight on the features of costume and posture of the main statues in the niche.
