随着阿富汗巴米扬大佛在塔利班的爆炸声中轰然倒塌, 云冈石窟便成了犍陀罗艺术东传最早最宏大最完整最典型最具代表性的珍品了。认识这一点, 无论是从世界宗教史特别是佛教发展史的角度,还是从世界艺术史特别是雕刻艺术发展史的角度,来审度云冈石窟的价值,都是十分重要的。 As the Bamyan Buddha in Afghanistan collapsed in the Taliban explosion, the Yungang Grottoes became the earliest and most complete and typical treasures of Gandhara. To recognize this point, it is very important to review the value of the Yungang Grottoes from the perspectives of religious history in the world, especially the history of Buddhism, or from the perspective of the development of world art history, especially carving art.
