艺品在线2020精品推荐第7期：明代紫铜鎏金佛像

佛教自汉代传入中国，初期只被视作神仙道术的一种，流传不广。西晋以后，社会动荡，人民生活痛苦，为佛教的传播提供了的宽广的民间土壤。另一方面，匈奴、鲜卑、羯、氐、羌等少数民族入主中国北方，它们的文化传统与来源于西域的佛教更易于相互认同。因此，在南北朝时期佛教得以迅速生长，并渗透到社会各个阶层。南北朝时期也是中国佛教艺术的辉煌时代，莫高窟、炳灵寺石窟、麦积山石窟等早期石窟寺开凿于这一时代，现存佛教造像也始见于此时。

Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was only regarded as a kind of immortal Taoism. After the Western Jin Dynasty, social unrest and people's life suffering provided a broad folk soil for the spread of Buddhism. On the other hand, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities came to northern China, and their cultural traditions and Buddhism from the western regions were easier to identify with each other. Therefore, in the northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism grew rapidly and penetrated into all social strata. The northern and Southern Dynasties were also the glorious era of Chinese Buddhist art. The early Grottoes such as Mogao Grottoes, Binglingsi grottoes and Maijishan grottoes were built in this era, and the existing Buddhist statues were also found at this time.
