横跨现陕、甘两省的泾河流域,6世纪时,显然是一处重要的佛教艺术中心.虽然它不象云冈、天龙山和龙门石窟那样著名,但是曾有众多的朝拜者,由于它处于遥远的西部,其雕刻特质和造像技法,以及在这一地区发现的少数绝对纪年材料,对研究中国早期雕塑,具有不可忽视的重要价值. It is obviously an important center of Buddhism art that crossed the Jinghe River basin in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces in the 6th century. Although it is not as famous as Yungang, Tianlongshan and Longmen Grottoes, there have been numerous pilgrims, Because of its remoteness in the west, its sculptural qualities and figurine techniques, as well as the few absolute dating materials found in this area, are of great importance to the study of early Chinese sculpture.
