摘要
洛阳龙门石窟古阳洞有北魏广川王国造像龛11个,题记7处。广川王国造像所处窟顶位置反映其社会地位与经济状况。该组造像以大龛为中心、周围小龛围绕的布局结构在北魏王国与家族造像中具有一定代表性。其题记内容反映的现实功利性为当时佛教信仰本质。根据造像特征和题记,对于厘清大龛与其旁边造型一致的相邻小龛之间关系以及研究当时造像整体布局、探讨不同窟龛的早晚关系具有重要价值。将出土墓志、传世文献等与造像题记相结合进行综合研究,有利于全面认识石窟造像。
The Guyang Cave at the Longmen Grottoes contains 11 niches with 7 inscriptions made by the people of the Kingdom of Lord Guangchuan in the Northern Wei dynasty. The first Lord Guangchuan was the third son of Emperor Wencheng and the uncle of Emperor Xiaowen;after the early deaths of the first and second lords, the decline of the Guangchuan kingdom from an initial peak of strength only continued when the ruling group moved their capital to Luoyang. The 11 niches at Longmen were made in the upper section of the cave, which exhibits the social and economic position of the Guanchuan kingdom at the time. The layout, in which a large central niche is surrounded by smaller niches, represents the structure of the loyal families of Guangchuan, while the inscriptions attached to these niches indicate the utilitarian attitude commonly held toward Buddhism during the Northern Wei. The image styles and the inscriptions are of significant value for understanding the relationship between the larger niches and the surrounding small niches, which are carved in basically the same form, the layout of the images, as well as the chorological order in which the niches were created. A study of the epigraphs and other historical documents together with the image inscriptions has rendered a comprehensive analysis of the niches at Guyang Cave, with special attention to the socio-religious customs of ancient China that produced them.
