古陽洞/縦163.4 cm 横111.1 cm/龍門石窟研究所蔵
この光背拓本は古陽洞の北壁の第3層、第2龕、楊[よう]大[たい]眼[がん]造像仏[ぶつ]龕[がん]のもの。銘文中に「南穢既に澄み、震旅闕に帰る」とある事柄が、『魏書』に伝えられる500年に楊大眼が南斉の予州刺[せき]史[し]裴[はい]権[けん]叔[じよ]を討伐した事跡と考えられることから、この仏龕の造営もこれをすこし過ぎた頃と推定されている。仏龕の形式や光背の主尊である仏像の作風や着衣形式にも雲岡石窟様式とも通ずる要素が随所に指摘し得ることから、洛陽遷都前後からはじまる古陽洞の第1充実期の様相をうかがうことができる。

Catalogue Entry

Guyangdong Cave/ 163.4×111.1 cm/ Longmen Caves Research Institute
This rubbing was taken from the halo of the Buddha in the niche commissioned by Yang Dayan, namely the 2nd niche on the 3rd level of the north wall of the Guyangdong cave. The inscription on the niche, loosely translated, states "had worked to suppress the southern dynasty and then returned to Que." It is thought that the inscription refers to an incident described in the Weishu regarding Yang Dayan's suppression of Pei Quanshu, the Regional Inspector of Yuzhou for the Southern Qi, and that this niche was carved slightly after the event, which took place in 500. The shape and style of the niche, the sculptural style of the Buddha image for this halo, and the drapery styles seen here are all in the sculptural style of the Yungang Caves. This indicates that the image is from the 1st fruitful period of work in the Guyangdong Cave, begun around the time when the Northern Wei capital moved to Luoyang.
