云冈石窟

中国四大石窟艺术宝库之一云冈石窟位于山西省大同市武周山南麓,石窟依山开凿,规模恢弘、气势雄浑。窟中菩萨、力士、飞天形象生动活泼,多种佛教文化在此相互融合,由此而形成的“云冈模式”成为中国佛教艺术发展的转折点。

 

Yungang Grottoes

The Yungang Grottoes are ancient Chinese Buddhist temple grottoes near the city of Datong in the province of Shanxi. They are excellent examples of rock-cut architecture and one of the three most famous ancient Buddhist sculptural sites of China. The others are Longmen and Mogao.
 
The site is located about 16 km west of the city of Datong, in the valley of the Shi Li river at the base of the Wuzhou Shan mountains. They are an outstanding example of the Chinese stone carvings from the 5th and 6th centuries. All together, the site is composed of 252 grottoes with more than 51,000 Buddha statues and statuettes.
