Abstract

During the 6th century CE, the construction of Buddhist cave-temples has been flourished in China despite the rapid regime change that took place in both the north and the south. The Northern Xiangtangshan cave temples as royal grottoes of the Northern Qi Dynasty (550-577), is a locus preserving an important specimen for the study of the artistic style and social culture of the time. During this socially turbulent period of the Northern Qi, the active interaction between different art forms results in fascinating outcomes. Art remains survived in tombs and Buddhist sculptural works, intriguingly sharing common features in various aspects, making a comparative study necessary to better understand Northern Qi art. In this study, the Northern Xiangtangshan cave temple is selected for comparison with tombs from the same period of the Northern Qi, shedding light on our exploration of the interaction between Buddhist and tomb art.
