Quhui Temple Mound of Stone Carvings

曲回寺石像冢

山西靈丘

位於山西省大同市靈丘縣城南75公里三樓鄉曲回寺村。據元至元二十二年(1285)《曲回禪寺碑記》,曲回寺乃唐開元二十一年(733)慧感禪師奉旨所建。係五台山清涼寺之下院,歷代均有修葺,一九七三年燒毀。唐天寶十年(751),曲回寺奉詔於寺周圍約20平方公里區域內建塔三百零六座。石像冢即立於塔下,現已確定的四十三座主要分布在該寺村後的九龍崗、旗葉山一帶。二○○一年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 石像冢的形制均作石塊疊砌的墓丘狀,大小不等,一般高3~4公尺。封門石上浮雕高僧像,像上方刻高僧法號,石右端刻建冢年代,有「天寶元年」、「天寶十年」等。冢穴內整齊排列著數量不等的石像,多者三十尊。石像內容有佛、菩薩及供養人等,大者150公分,小者不足30公分。如此大規模的石像冢,在中國古代佛寺遺蹟中僅此一例。
