内容摘要:近年笔者在四川仁寿千佛岩和石佛沟两处摩崖造像中新发现3铺唐末五代时期的早期地藏十王造像,呈现出不同以往发现的诸多特点,将四川与敦煌地区的此类图像更为紧密地联系在一起,表明早期地藏十王图像的内容要素和图式类型,在四川地区初始创作和早期流傳过程中就已经确立。

Abstract:In recent years, the author has found 3 groups of statues at Qianfoyan and Shifogou in Renshou, Sichuan Province dating to the period between the end of the Tang dynasty and the beginning of the Five Dynasties that depict Kistigabha and the Ten Kings. These statues exhibit many features different from those previously discovered and show a close connection with similar statues found in both Sichuan and Dunhuang. The connection between the statues of these two places reveals that the the matic content and iconographical types of early statues of Kistigabha and the Ten Kings had already been established in Sichuan when such statues were initially created and began to be disseminated throughout the region.

根据中土伪经《佛说十王经》创作的地藏十王图像是晚唐五代四川地区产生的全新佛教艺术题材,早期阶段的图像不多,绝大部分发现于敦煌石窟壁画、藏经洞出土纸绢画和四川地区摩崖造像中。笔者近年参加四川地区石窟调查,于成都以南的仁寿县珠嘉镇千佛岩和龙桥乡石佛沟两处石窟新发现3铺地藏十王造像,均摩崖开凿,创作于唐末五代,属地藏十王图像序列中的早期作品,十分珍贵,具有重要的学术价值。石佛沟第12、18龛两铺造像尚未发表,基本情况不为外界所知;千佛岩第21龛虽有关注,但失之简略[1]。现将此三铺造像的具体内容详述于后,并对其年代和价值进行初步厘清。
一 造像内容
两处造像位于成都以南的仁寿县中东部、龙泉山脉以东的丘陵地带,地处岷江与沱江流域之间的川西与川东造像过渡区域,直线距离约15千米。具体造像内容分述如后。
(一)千佛岩第21龛
千佛岩摩崖造像位于珠嘉镇金光村五组,地处名为千佛岩的山体南侧崖壁。……
