长江流域早期楼阁式佛塔形制特征

长江流域的早期楼阁式佛塔,已知的考古实物,有长江上游的四川什邡在1986年发现中国最早的佛塔画像砖;在文献记载中,有长江下游的江苏徐州一带笮融"大起浮图祠"。考古文物与同期的文献记录相近,均为楼阁式木作建筑。什邡画像砖佛塔明显源于古印度西北广为流行的高层佛塔,中国佛塔是在此基础上依据传统的楼阁式建筑而发展起来的。基于信仰观念引导宗教艺术的看法,汉代神仙好楼居的传统思想,使得犍陀罗佛塔得以比附仙人所居的木作高楼得以在中国安家落户。宗教信仰的类同性,其重要性,远在单纯型制模仿改造之上,或许正是这一原因,使得楼阁式佛塔得以在中国广为传播。另外,什邡画像中与佛塔并置的三宝柱被辨识出来,同时也构成上述观念的一个重要证据。作为早期佛教艺术的珍贵文物,什邡佛塔成为研究中国早期印佛塔型制演变、中国汉代神仙信仰以及佛教初传中国的重大问题之间相互联系的纽带。
