晋城青莲寺文殊与普贤图像考察

青莲寺位于山西省晋城市东南17公里处的硖石山腰,始建于北齐,初名硖石寺,因净影慧远曾在该寺著书立说而得名。青莲寺分上下两院,上院从现存寺院的建筑形制看,基本保存完好,自南向北中轴线上,有天王殿、藏经阁、中佛殿和佛堂。下院位于丹河以北距离上院0．5公里的硖石山隅,南于历代自然灾害的侵蚀,目前仅剩北殿和南殿。目前上下两院保存有宋至明清彩塑50余躯,     

晋城青莲寺塔幢建筑分析

青莲寺,初名硖石寺。坐落于山西省晋城市区东南17公里的硖石山腰。寺分上、下两院,坐北面南。环境幽雅,群峰兀立,站在硖石山,东观浮山,群山拥列;南望珏山,双峰拱翠。一河丹水于深壑间飘然而流。青莲寺建置于此与周围环境自然而和谐地融为一体,形成了典型的巾国北方园林化山野建筑。     

跋《下院村志》

太行山右世称“穷山恶水”地瘠民贫之区,其民虽勤劳恶逸,而生计不裕,曲沃下院村亦然。下院村崇山砖塔创建于唐天宝年间,广德间又建山(山原)寺于山巅,以祀高僧昙磋,寺有上院、下院,此下院村名之所由来欤?然则下院村实有悠久的历史。     

少林扩张：又一次给观念以冲击

10月7日,投资上亿元的嵩山少林寺下院——新密超化寺,拉开了恢复重建的序幕。据报道,超化寺仅是少林寺重建的十几个下院中的一个。与此同时,计划投资2.5亿元的荥阳市洞林寺也正在紧张施工。除超化寺和洞林寺外,2005年,少林寺方丈释永信将山东海阳梦达寺确定为少林寺下院;2007年2月,少林寺在省外的又一个下院——江苏邳州铁佛寺竣工,铁佛寺由少林寺和邳州市人民政府投资1.4亿元修建;2007年12月26日,少林寺在登封市大熊山水峪寺举行修建工程奠基仪式;2007年,少林寺和蓟县政府达成协议,联合投资1.6亿元恢复重建北少林寺;今年10月16日,少林寺在巩义青龙山慈云寺举行恢复祖林奠基仪式;另外,登封少室山二祖庵、陕县空相寺等,都是少林寺的下院……少林寺还把视野投向了海外,在德国、意大利和澳大利亚,相继设立分院。     

佛教圣地──超化寺

佛教圣地──超化寺李梅焕,魏殿臣在河南省新密市南７．５公里处,有一个著名的佛教殿堂─—超化寺。超化寺建于隋开皇元年（５８１年）,至唐朝武则天和唐中宗时为鼎盛时期,规模宏大,方圆达２０余公里,僧侣达两千多人。这座佛教名副当时在全国排列为第１５位。超化寺...     

《硖石寺大隋远法师遗迹》碑刻及相关问题考述

青莲寺位于山西省晋城市东南17公里的泽州县金村镇寺南庄村北侧的硖石山腰,与"晋魏河山第一奇"之称的珏山隔丹河相望,周围山峦叠嶂,河水潺潺.青莲寺前身为创建于5世纪中叶的藏阴寺,位于丹河以东2.5公里,珏山背阴处,由昊始禅师所创,后受丹河水患,于北齐天宝年间(550-559年)迁至现址.青莲寺由上下两寺组成,两寺相隔里许.下寺由慧远法师与北齐天宝年间所创,为净土宗道场,唐咸通八年(867年),唐懿宗李漼敕额"青莲寺".     

宝梵壁画添新篇

以明代壁画闻名中外的四川省蓬溪县宝梵寺,又新添了四铺壁画,并于1987年春节起正式对外开放。 新添的壁画是从距宝梵寺1.5公里的定静寺(又名“回龙新开寺”)大佛殿中迁来的作品。定静寺建于明景泰二年(1451年),晚建于宝梵寺一年;测其壁画制作年代,亦与宝梵寺壁画相距不远。定静寺地处峡谷,一直鲜为人知;建国后辟寺为学校,1985年当地欲拆寺建校,在拆大佛殿时壁画裸露,而被发现。县文管所鉴于无法原地保护,在上级主管部门帮助下,将定静寺四铺壁画移     

石洞寺

石头有灵,石洞寺,该是灵魂的居所。 石洞寺位于云南省风庆县城东南30公里的洛党镇南部箐头村大石头山上,建于1794年前后,此后几次翻修,但巨石耸立的姊妹阁,从始建到现在,都没有改变过。

徐州雪山寺北宋窖藏纪年文物

1984年2月,江苏省徐州市铜山县茅村乡大庄村农民在雪山寺遗址发现一处窑藏,出土一批有纪年的北宋文物。雪山寺遗址位于徐州市北约12公里,东距茅村乡2公里。遗址的北面濒临不牢河,隔河与青龙山、大庄村相望(图一)。遗址所在地为一石灰岩山包,南北长约100、东西宽90、海拔40.5米。雪山寺原建于山包中部。窖藏在遗址的编北部,系凿石成坑,(?)

Bossler,Beverly, Courtesans,Concubines, and the Cult of Female Fidelity

Employing a wealth of detailed evidence, the author of the book portrays an ambitious picture of gender relations in the roughly five centuries from late-Tang to late-Yuan. In order to make the incredibly complicated picture more organized, Bossier divides the book chronologically into three time periods, the Northern Song （with a little part touching on the late Tang）, the Southern Song, and the Yuan. Within each time period, Bossier analyzes three major categories of women---courtesans, concubines, and wives--in that sequence. Such arrangement is a clear sign of her argument： from Song to Yuan, writings on men＇s romantic relationship with courtesans gradually gave way to wives＇ fidelity and obligations, which was being applied more generally to all women, including courtesans, courtesan-concubines, and concubines. The application of wifely virtue to all women promoted the status of concubines within the family, as they were expected to behave and be treated like respectable wives. As a consequence, wives＇ authority declined, especially when sons produced by wives and concubines received equal treatment. Such a practice stressed the importance of paternal side while ignoring the maternal one, hence greatly intensified the patriline.

Land,Stone, Trees,Identity, Ambition: the Building Blocks of Brochs

Brochs are impressive stone roundhouses unique to Iron Age Scotland. This paper introduces a new perspective developed from architectural analysis and drawing on new survey, fieldwork and analogies from anthropology and social history. The study of architectural design and constructional detail exposes fewer competitive elements than previously anticipated. Instead, attempts to emulate, share and communicate identities can be detected. The architectural language of the broch allows complex layers of individual preferences, local and regional traditions, and supra-regional communications to be expressed in a single house design. The proposed ‘productive households’ model moves beyond ideas of competing elites at times of stress, and invites a new debate by expanding a more complex broch concept beyond the Atlantic core.
