內容介紹

Why were so many Buddhist grottoes carved across China, and what do they tell us about the history of Chinese art?

Grotto Art of China: A Sourcebooktraces the origins of this unique art form from the Indian subcontinent to its monumental flowering across Asia and into China.

This volume brings together contributions from leading international scholars, providing systematic studies of major grotto complexes—including Mogao, Yungang, Longmen, Gongxian, Xiangtangshan, and Tianlongshan—alongside crucial, lesser-known regional sites in Gansu, Shandong, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Tibet, and Xinjiang.

Organized geographically, the book explores these sacred sites as mediums of devotion, political expression, and cultural exchange, covering topics such as imperial patronage, distinctive artistic styles, and the ways these resilient sites preserve vital information otherwise lost to history. An essential reference for students, scholars, and informed travelers, it offers deep insight into the spiritual and artistic traditions that connected cultures across Asia.
