内容摘要：拉梢寺石窟由造像记可知造像人及相关信息，但因题记内容与史料有出入，导致学界在造像时间及人物身份的认识上理解各异。本文通过对相关人物的职爵变化分析，认为记文所载时间无误，符合当时的政治背景与造像人的意图。尉迟迥秦州刺史的职衔或可补史料记载之不足，大佛的雕造工期也可为该地区石窟的创建与发展提供一些参考。

Abstract：An inscription about the large Buddha statue in the Lashao Temple provides information about the artisan that created the statue and the circumstances in which it was made. However， due to discrepancies between the content of the inscription and related historical documents， scholars have come to various conclusions as to the date of construction and the identity of the large Buddha statue. By analyzing changes in the titles of relevant historical figures， this paper finds that the dates recorded in the inscription are most likely correct as they accurately reflect the political background of the time and thus accord with the intentions of the sculptor. Yu Chijiong's title as the governor of Qinzhou may be a supplement to historical records of the time while the construction period of the large Buddha statue can provide important contextual information for the creation and development of the caves in this area.

拉梢寺石窟位于甘肃武山县洛门镇正北榆盘乡钟楼湾鲁班峡谷中，又称大佛崖，石窟由摩崖浮塑、浅龛及壁画构成，主体摩崖三像保存情况尚可，为我们提供了一个研究北朝晚期石窟个案的机会。拉梢寺现存一方北周造像题记是研究石窟的重要依据，但因其内容与史料记载有出入，导致学界在相关信息的认识上理解各异。本文不揣浅陋，欲在前辈学者的研究基础上，结合史料对造像记进行考释，就相关问题做进一步的阐述，以求教于方家。

一 造像人及其身份

关于拉梢寺石窟，清康熙《宁远县志》卷1“山川”条有：“大佛峡石山，县东北五十里。” “古迹”条载：“大佛，县东北五十里，石山幽深，上有大佛三尊，传云鸠摩罗什建。”[1]清乾隆《宁远县志续略》记载与原志同。上述文献都记载了大佛，而建造的具体年代未作说明，对于造像人虽有“传云鸠摩罗什建”的记载，但仅以此来判断建造年代缺乏依据。拉梢寺现存北周造像记是研究石窟相关信息的重要依据[2]。……
