少林寺壁畫

中國

位於河南省鄭州市登封市西少室山少林寺。該寺壁畫主要分布於白衣殿及千佛殿。白衣殿南壁繪少林寺僧演練兵器套路,北壁繪六合拳徒手對練,真實地表現少林武術從拳到棍、刀、槍、劍、戟、鏈等內容,精確傳神。其中南壁更呈現了武術具體生動的手法、腿法和身法。壁畫背景分別繪山門、天王殿和大雄寶殿,再現當時少林寺主體建築的基本面貌,對研究該寺建築史,具有極高的價值。
 白衣殿後壁(東壁)繪十三和尚救秦王及緊那羅禦紅巾軍,其中十三和尚救秦王主要表現唐(618~907)初秦王李世民平定王世充割據勢力時,曾得寺內十三位和尚的援助。緊那羅禦紅巾軍則表現元(1271~1368)末中原地區紅巾軍起義,當其進軍伊洛,少林寺僧緊那羅執棍堵截,戰退紅巾。此兩幅壁畫精彩地再現當年情景。
 千佛殿供奉毗盧遮那佛,後壁(北壁)及東西兩壁繪五百羅漢朝毗盧的大型彩色壁畫。壁畫總面積達320平方公尺,為中國罕見。五百羅漢形象生動,構圖嚴謹,氣勢恢弘。
