1994年8月,四川省彭州市于市区北部龙兴寺古塔地宫中发现数十件石雕残佛像。其中有纪年的最旱为南朝梁中大通五年造释迎双身像。除少数南朝、隋造像外、绝人部分为唐代前期作品.如唐武周久视元年、玄宗开元二十五年纪年像等。题材有佛立像、佛坐像、一佛二菩萨像、双菩萨立像、菩萨像以凌少量道教造像。这是除成都万佛寺石刻造像外,四川地区早期佛道石造像的又一次重要发现。

In August 1994, scores of stone Buddhist statues were uncovered from the basement of an ancient pagoda in the Longxing Temple in the northern suburbs of Pengzhou City. Of dated ones, a double-bodied Sakyamuniis as early as the 5th year of the Zhongdatong reign period of the Southern Liang. However, most of them are survivals from the early Tang. They are represented in different ways: standing or seated, one Buddha plus two Bodhisattvas or double Bodhisattvas, etc. A few Taoist carvings were also found.
