摘要
西方净土变是中国佛教美术的主要题材之一,内容丰富,形式多样。该经变滥觞于6世纪中叶,直到8世纪初叶才定型。早期西方净土变的构图形式主要是说法会,而后在漫长的演变过程中,加入了"十六观"内容,到8世纪初形成说法会与对联式条幅画"未生怨"、"十六观"结合的构图形式,成为西方净土变的主要构图形式。本文对西方净土变构图形式进行了考察与分析,有助于我们对佛教美术发展的理解。
the Illustration of Western Pure Land is a one of the main themes of Chinese Buddhist art. It contains rich content in diversified forms. The illustration first appeared in the middle of the sixth century and became stylized till the early part of the eighth century. Early pure land illustrations mainly depicted a preaching scene. Later in the long process of evolution, the contents of＂the Sixteen Meditations＂ were added. It was at the beginning of the eighth century that the pure land illustration consisting of a central preaching scene with side scenes of ＂Queen Vaidehi （the Sixteen Meditations）＂ and of the ＂story of King Bimbisfra and Ajatasatru＂ was formed, which became the main composition of the western pure land illustration. This paper presents an investigation and analysis of the composition of western pure land illustrations, which will help understand Buddhist art development.
