维摩诘图像作为南北朝时期外来佛教文化中国化的重要题材,长期以来一直是学术界研究的重点。而关陇一带这一时期出现的各种相关维摩诘图像也是其中重要组成部分之一,受各种条件限制,迄今为止,鲜有系统化和综合性研究专著问世。天水师范大学王一潮教授的《丝绸之路交融下的关陇地区北朝维摩诘图像演变研究》一书不仅改变了这一局面,而且为相关研究提供了新的见解和认识。

As an important theme of the sinicization of foreign Buddhist culture during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Vimalakirti images have long been the focus of academic research. The various relevant Vimalakirti images that emerged in the Guanlong area during this period are also an important part of it. Due to various limitations, so far, there have been few systematic and comprehensive research monographs. Professor Wang Yichao from Tianshui Normal University’s book Research on the Evolution of Vimalakirti Images in the Northern Dynasties in the Guanlong Region under the Integration of the Silk Road not only changes this situation but also provides new insights and understandings for related research.
