魏正中、桧山智美等著《龟兹早期寺院中的说一切有部遗迹探真》一书，是近年龟兹石窟研究中的难得之作，作者现场踏查所做的考古学记录和对德国学者百年来研究工作的整理具有重要的学术意义。作者根据地面佛寺和石窟寺的平面布局、功能性质、主尊造像及窟壁装饰，结合佛教信仰，把龟兹石窟及地面佛寺分作 A、B 两大传统。以平面方形、穹隆顶或套斗顶的方形窟为代表的“A 传统”佛教遗存为中心，以说一切有部思想为论述主轴，推论这类洞窟具有小乘教说一切有部属性。本文认为，“A 传统”洞窟不具备小乘教说一切有部属性的绝对证据，龟兹地区半数方形殿堂窟不属于纯粹的小乘说一切有部，应是小乘、大乘长期并行的结果。

Traces of the Sarvāstivādins in the Buddhist Monasteries of Kucha by Vignato Giuseppe and Satomi 
Hiyama, is a remarkable contribution to recent scholarship on the cave temple complex at Kucha. The authors’ field survey records and their systematic compilation of research by German scholars for a century hold significant academic value. Based on the layout, function, principal statues, and wall decorations of both free-standing temples and cave temples, combined with Buddhist doctrines, the authors classifiy Kucha’s cave temples and free-standing temples into two major traditions: A and B. Taking the “Tradition A” Buddhist remains, represented by square caves with domed or coffered ceilings, as the center, and using Sarvāstivāda thought as the thread, the study deduces that this type of cave temple has the attributes of the Hinayāna Sarvāstivāda. This paper contends that there is no conclusive evidence for attributing “Tradition A” caves exclusively to the Hinayāna Sarvāstivāda school. It argues that nearly half of the maṭapas in the Kucha region cannot be classified as purely Hinayāna Sarvāstivāda and should instead be understood as the outcome of the long-term coexistence of Hinayāna and Mahāyāna Buddhism.
