四川省安岳县偏岩乡佛岩摩崖造像调查报告

Report on the Foyan Cliff Buddhist Sculpture in Anyue County, Sichuan Province

佛岩摩崖造像位于四川省资阳市安岳县偏岩乡凤龙村,现存17龛。造像规模不大,但保存较好,题材有菩提瑞像、一佛五十二菩萨、佛道合龛等。依据纪年题记、造像题材分析,佛岩摩崖造像的年代大致为晚唐五代时期。其中菩提瑞像龛内容清晰、年代明确,为相关题材研究提供了新材料;一佛五十二菩萨作为发展序列中年代较晚者,当能充实这一题材的研究资料。

The Foyan Cliff Buddhist Sculpture is located in Fenglong Village, Pianyan Township, Anyue County, Ziyang City, Sichuan Province, and encompasses 17 niche caves.The Cliff Buddhist Sculptures are small, but there is a variety of different themes, most prominently auspicious Bodhi images, Amitabha with fifty-two bodhisattvas, and niches combining Buddhist and Taoist imagery. Based on the dated inscriptions and themes of the sculptures, we suggest that the sculptures date should be between the late Tang and Five Dynasties periods. The image of the auspicious Bodhi is clear in meaning and date,providing new material for research on this theme. The sculpture of Amitabha with fifty-two bodhisattvas is the later example in this theme’s developmental sequence, so this material is important for future research on this topic.
