龙门石窟位于河南省洛阳市南郊的伊河两岸，是中国规模宏大、艺术价值极高的石刻佛教艺术宝库。它始凿于北魏孝文帝时期，盛于唐代，历经四百余年不断开凿，现存洞窟二千三百多个、佛像十万余尊、碑刻题记三千多品。卢舍那大佛、奉先寺与二十品题刻被誉为石窟艺术巅峰，充分展示了古代雕刻技艺与中原佛教文化的融合。2000 年，龙门石窟被列入《世界遗产名录》。近年来，依托三维扫描与数字复原技术，文保人员持续开展加固与修复工程，使这一“石刻史书”焕发新的生命力。
参考翻译
The Longmen Grottoes, straddling both banks of the Yi River on the southern outskirts of Luoyang, Henan Province, constitute one of China’s largest and most artistically significant repositories of Buddhist rock carvings. Excavation began under Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei and flourished during the Tang dynasty, spanning more than four centuries. Today, over 2,300 caves, 100,000 Buddhist statues, and some 3,000 inscriptions remain. Masterpieces such as the Vairocana Buddha, Fengxian Temple, and the renowned Twenty Inscriptions exemplify the zenith of stone-carving skill and the synthesis of Buddhist art with Central Plains culture. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000, the grottoes have recently benefited from 3-D scanning and digital restoration projects, breathing new life into this “stone chronicle” of Chinese history.
