四川安岳县毗卢寺遗址建筑遗迹发掘简报

Excavation of Architectural Remains of Pilu Temple Site,Anyue County,Sichuan

毗卢寺遗址位于资阳市安岳县忠义镇石桅村。2015年6月,当地在进行基本建设过程中发现了文物28件,其中包括雕刻精美的圆雕造像。2015—2016年,四川省文物考古研究院和安岳石窟研究院共同对安岳毗卢寺遗址进行了考古发掘。该遗址由地面寺院及石窟两部分组成,从清理情况看,五代北宋时期最初营建石窟,并于石窟周边营建地面佛寺,其后地面佛寺遭到破坏,明代在石窟南侧复建,至明末清初废弃。本次发掘的主体建筑即为明代所建。遗址的发掘对于探讨川东渝西地区这种石窟(摩崖造像)与地面建筑结合的寺院遗址的布局和发展提供了难得的资料,出土的大量圆雕造像及其他类型遗物对研究宋明时期的佛教艺术有重要作用。

The Pilu Temple site is located in Shiwei Village of Zhongyi Town,Anyue County,Ziyang City.In June 2015,28 pieces of cultural relics were discovered during local infrastructure construction,including exquisitely carved statues.From 2015 to 2016,Sichuan Province Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology and Anyue Institute of Grottoes(former Anyue County Administration of Cultural Relics) jointly excavated the site.The site consists of temple buildings and grottoes.Archaeological excavation reveals that the construction of grottoes began during the Five Dynasties and Northern Song Dynasty,and Buddhist temple buildings were built around the grottoes.The temple buildings were damaged afterwards and were rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty on the south side of the grottoes,which were deserted during the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.The main building excavated this time was from the Ming Dynasty.The excavation of the site provides valuable information for exploring the layout and development of such temple sites that combine grottoes(cliff sculptures) with temple buildings in the eastern Sichuan and western Chongqing regions.The large number of unearthed statues and other types of relics play an important role in studying Buddhist art during the Song and Ming dynasties.
