莫高窟第275窟的年代方案

On the Construction Date of Mogao Cave 275

第275窟可以置于莫高窟自身、吐鲁番——河西早期石窟两个序列中进行比附。比附状况显示,第275窟与吐鲁番——河西十六国晚期石窟面貌差异大,与莫高窟北魏洞窟联系紧密,第275窟年代为北魏早期较为合理。这一年代推断与北魏攻占河西后敦煌独盛、余地皆衰的历史背景吻合。

From the perspective of analogical research, Cave 275 can be considered as either one of the Mogao caves or as an early Turfan-Hexi Cave. The results of this research show that this cave differs greatly from the Turpan-Hexi caves of the later period of the Six Dynasties era, but shows some characteristics that are closely related to the Northern Wei caves at Mogao. This suggests that it is reasonable to date Mogao cave 275 to the early Northern Wei period. This inference complies with the historical context of the time, when Dunhuang remained prosperous while other regions in Hexi were occupied by the newly ascendantNorthern Wei.
