龟兹地区唐风佛教艺术研究——以阿艾石窟为例

The Tang Style Buddhist Art in Ancient Qiuci Area——A Case Study of A'ai Cave

阿艾石窟修建于唐代安西都护府时期,位处西域龟兹腹地,壁画题材深受中原佛教艺术的影响。阿艾石窟从洞窟形制、壁画题材、绘画技法都体现出盛唐时期莫高窟壁画的特征,阿艾石窟壁画是佛教向东逆向传播的有力证据。

A'ai Cave was built in the period of Protectorate General to Pacify the West in Tang Dynasty.It was located in the hinterland of Quici.Its theme of frescos was deeply influenced by Buddhist art in the Central Plains.The shape,theme and painting techniques of the caves all reflect the characteristics of the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.The murals in A'ai Cave are strong evidence of the eastward reverse spread of Buddhism.
