大足石刻是川渝石窟的杰出代表。过去,学术界对大足石刻的调查及资料整理大致经历了三个阶段。大足石刻研究院新近出版的《大足石刻总录》分三卷完整介绍了大足区境内列入文物保护单位的所有75处石窟和摩崖造像,刊布了高清图片,并充分吸纳近40年来的研究成果,是大足石刻研究的重要新成果,为大足学及相关学科的研究提供了新资料。

The Dazu Rock Carvings, an outstanding example of the Sichuan-Chongqing grotto traditions, have evolved through three distinct phases of academic documentation and research. The Comprehensive Record of Dazu Rock Carvings (3 volumes) newly published by the Academy of Dazu Rock Carvings marks a very important contribution to this field. This work systematically catalogs all 75 protected cultural heritage units of grottoes and cliff statues within the Dazu district, integrating high-resolution photographs with critical syntheses of research advances from the past four decades. The Comprehensive Record of Dazu Rock Carvings establishes an essential resource for Dazu Studies and opens new avenues for multidisciplinary research in Buddhist art, regional history, and religious archaeology.
