Yungang Grottoes: It Represents the First Peak of Chinese Grotto Arts

The Yungang Grottoes, a world culture heritage site, is located at the foot of the Wuzhou Mountain, about sixteen kilometers west of Datong City, Shanxi Province. The grottoes extend about one kilometer from east to west. The site retains 59,000 statues in 45 major caves, the biggest of which reaches 17 meters tall. 

The shocking magnificence gives strong visual impacts even at the beginning of its creation back in ancient times. A historic record of the Northern Wei Dynasty depicts it as “as profoundly magnificent as the Work of Divine”. Its novel approach in statue creation is acclaimed as the Yungang Style by the academic circle, having a profound and lasting influence on later Chinese grotto arts.

The Yungang Caves bears extraordinary values in terms of international cultural exchanges and fusion of diverse ethnic cultures. It received widespread academic attention immediately after itō chūta, a Japanese architect, finished his survey in 1902, and saw immense progress with abundant researches since then.

The lecture mainly consists of three parts: Part 1 briefs the different representation contents and artistic styles of the caves built in three stages; Part 2 elaborates on why the Northern Wei Dynasty decided to launch such project despite immense labor, material and financial costs; and Part 3 envisions the research prospect by reviewing past literatures of Chinese and foreign scholars.

雲岡石窟：中国石窟芸術の初頂点

世界文化遺産雲岡石窟は中国山西省大同市の西16キロメートルの武州山に、東西約1キロメートルにわたって続いており、45窟が現存され、内部には59,000体以上の仏像が刻まれている。大仏の高さは17メートルを超えている。
雲岡石窟は彫り起こされた際にして、当時の人々に強烈な視覚的衝撃力を与えたので、北魏の文献には雲岡石窟の「真容巨壮、世法所希（彫られた仏像は荘厳で大きく、世間には珍しい。）」と記載されている。雲岡石窟が創造した新しい造形方法は学術界では「雲岡様式」と呼ばれ、中国石窟芸術に与える影響は深遠である。

雲岡石窟は豊富な中国と西洋文化との交流と民族間の融合についての内容が含まれていて、1902年に日本人建築史学者の伊東忠太によって発見され、学術界からの一躍注目を集める存在になり、研究成果が絶えず豊富となった。

当講義は主に3部分に分けられる。1.雲岡石窟の計3期洞窟の異なる表現内容と芸術スタイルの紹介。2.北魏王朝がなぜ国全体の人的、物的、財的を集めて雲岡石窟を開掘したのかについて論述。3.中国と他の国の学者の雲岡石窟に関する研究成果を通じて、研究の将来性の展望。

云冈石窟：中国石窟艺术的第一个高峰

世界文化遗产云冈石窟位于山西省大同市以西16公里的武州山，石窟东西绵延1公里，现存主要洞窟45座，造像59000余尊，大者超过17米。
在开凿之际，云冈石窟就给当时的人以强烈的视觉冲击力，北魏的文献记载云冈石窟“真容巨壮、世法所稀”。云冈石窟创造的新的造像模式被学术界称为“云冈模式”，对中国石窟艺术的影响深远。

云冈石窟蕴藏着丰富的中外文化交流和民族融合的内容，因此，在1902年日本建筑学家伊东忠太调查之后，云冈石窟受到学术界的广泛关注，研究成果不断丰富。

讲座分为三个主要部分：一是介绍云冈石窟艺术的概况；二是阐述云冈石窟作为北魏的皇家艺术，它所确立的“云冈模式”对北中国的石窟寺产生了广泛的影响；三是讲述了云冈石窟的雕刻工艺，以及云冈石窟所体现的多元文化的交流。
