文獻摘錄

“⋯⋯即使在宋代的石窟雕刻中,觀音經變相的主尊也多為坐在岩石上的普陀落迦觀音,其左足垂下,右腳放在岩石座上,頭略下傾,姿勢安閒自在,身後尚有數竿修竹。這尊觀音不再高不可攀,遙不可及,全作散發著濃郁的「人」的氣息。其髮髻高聳,上身裸露,僅著天衣。五官娟秀,垂目而望,表情嫻靜溫和,多了一份女性秀麗的韻致。這種既不失菩薩的莊重,又富有人世間生活情感的作品,正是宋代佛教造像的傑出成就。”

DA YUN CAVE OF THOUSAND-BUDDHA GROTTO・GUANGYUAN | 四川廣元千佛崖・大雲古洞  

Thousand-Buddha Grotto in Guangyuan, Sichuan | Overview

Located at the gateway between Shanxi and Sichuan province of China, the existence of the Thousand-Buddha Grotto at Guangyuan witnesses the transition and inheritation of cave temples and deities with numerous visual evidences of caves and nitches carved on its cliff. 

文獻摘錄

“千佛崖位在縣治北十里,嘉陵江東岸,大小四百龕,延綿里許,蓮宮紺髻,輝濯巖扉,至為壯觀。……龕之面積,以一公尺左右居多;二三公尺者較少;三公尺以上者,寥寥十數處而已。較大之窟,除主像外,壁面遍鑿小龕,窟頂飾以蓮瓣,頗類龍門諸窟,唯造像作風,仍屬盛唐一派。最特別者,中型之窟,每於窟中央,琢主像、侍像,或佛涅槃像,其後翼以樹木,若屏風然。壁面或鐫生死諸圖,背景襯以山氣,至極精妙,而窟內每刻功德主,跽於座下,數量之眾,為他處所少有。”

-- 梁思成 先生《佛像的歷史》

Re-Imagining and Mapping

Urban space nowadays is fragmented geographically and ideologically. Renovation and profit concern challenge the memories within. From ancient cities and their grid systems, analysis of the spirituality of the architecture, statues, graphics and calligraphy hence begins. The linkage of To-Ji Temple and Kyoto will provide a sustainable module for the future of urban planning.
