巴蜀隋代佛教石窟艺术初探

A Preliminary Study of Sui Buddhist Grotto Art in Bashu Area

隋代巴蜀佛教石窟分布散、规模小,以摩崖龛像为主,尤以巴中石窟装饰精美的佛帐形龛最为突出。比较而言,人形化天龙八部群像和以主尊形式表现的定光佛在中原北方造像中颇为鲜见。巴蜀隋代造像较多地承继了北周造像艺术的风格特征,并有机融合北齐、南朝造像的诸多"优秀基因",从而体现出代表新王朝统一后气势恢宏、雄迈劲健和装饰华美的艺术精神面貌。

The distribution of Sui buddhist grotto in Bashu area is scattered,and its scale is small.The main shape and structure of grotto is cliff-side sculptures,especially the most characteristic niche for Buddha with curtain sculpture of Bazhong grotto is obvious.In comparison,the eight classes of brave divine beings of human form and the light buddha are rarely seen in the North Central Plains.The Sui Dynasty statues not only continue the Changan style,but also fuse the style of the Northern Qi Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties,therefore it reflects the art spirit of magnificent,spectacular and beautifully decorated that represent the unity of the new dynasty.
