大足石窟与敦煌石窟建筑形式的比较

大足石窟与敦煌石窟建筑形制有很大不同.敦煌有各种各样的石窟形制,而大足则基本为摩崖石刻.大足石刻有一些为预留顶檐的浅龛或深龛,有的面积很大;但大多为具方形或弧形龛口的或深或浅的中小型龛窟造像.与有窟门、甬道、主室的敦煌石窟形制比较,大足石窟的建筑形制更像剖开的敦煌石窟.大足摩崖龛窟建筑是继承了中国传统而又具有地域、时代、宗教等特点的独特的创造.

The Comparison of the Different Architecture of the Dazu Caves and the Dunhuang Caves

The architecture of the Dazu Caves is quite different from that of the Dunhuang Caves which are various in formation. The Dazu Caves are basically cliff-scraping curves, where there are some left shallow or deep shrines for top eaves, some of which are very big, and most of which are of square or arc shrine-mouth, or of shallow or deep shrine-cave. Compared with the Dunhuang Caves with cave-doors, corridors and main halls, the Dazu Caves is more like the dissected Dunhuang Caves. The architecture of the Dazu Caves not only inherits the Chinese tradition, but also possesses distinctive characteristics of region, times, religion etc..
