从桂林与洛阳石窟瘗龛的比较看唐代石窟艺术的南传

A comparative study of the grotto niches in Guilin and Luoyang and the transmission of the Tang-Dynasty grotto art

广西桂林与河南洛阳是目前国内发现唐代佛教瘗龛数量最多的两个地区,通过两地瘗龛形态、内涵与历史的比较发现,桂林佛教瘗龛应是受到了洛阳龙门石窟的直接影响,并结合了本地文化传统而开凿的,形成了鲜明的地方特点。桂林唐代佛教摩崖造像艺术受到东都洛阳的直接影响,极可能是原籍中原地区、宦仕桂州的官员或被贬谪之人所为,透露出华南社会史、文化史的一个重要片段。

The great majority of Buddhist burial niches of the Tang Dynasty came to light in Guilin of Guangxi and Luoyang of Henan.In comparison with the burial niches of Luoyang,the origin of those in Guilin could be traced back to Luoyang Grottoes.Meanwhile,the unique features and style of those in Guilin could be out of the imitation and influence of the local tradition.In view of the historical background,the Guilin burial niches may have been constructed by the relegated official from the north,whose hometown were in the Central Plains.The Guilin niches revealed the special social-cultural interactions then,which made a significant part of the social history.
