| 摘要 | The cave-temples at Yungang in northern Shanxi Province constitute the earliest existing Buddhist site of major significance in China. In an effort to legitimize its rule while maintaining its identity，the Northern Wei dynasty (A.D. 386-535) adopted Buddhism as a state religion. In about A.D. 460，the emperor Wencheng carved out five caves in the sandstone cliffs at Yungang，each cave having a central colossal Buddha or Bodhisattva, symbolizing the power and authority of the first five Northern Wei emperors. In the central area of the site，there are nine other caves of almost equal size and sculptural richness, yet quite distinct. These were the work of nonimperial patrons who dug cave-temples for religious rather than political reasons. Hence，what began at Yungang as political statements glorifying imperial authority by likening the emperor to the Buddha became，in the second phase，statements of religious devotion. |
