摘　　要：岩香寺石窟位于太原市清徐县城西南的屠谷山山腰间,距著名的晋祠风景区14公里(图一)。这里灌木丛生,岩石属灰色砂岩。石窟规模不大,仅5个洞窟,分上下两层,但方向不同。其中下层在东西长约12米的崖面上,有坐北朝南的两窟,本文称1窟、2窟。窟前正东有石蹬,沿石蹬上行。Only fourteen km. away from famous Jinci, the temple is located on the slope of theTugu Mountain to the southwest of the county seat of Qingxu under the Jurisprudence ofTaiyuan City. This small-sized temple has only five caves. Cave 1, also called Cave of Thou-sand Buddha, has a horse-hoof plan and a flat ceiling in addition to a measurement of 7.1m across, 3.1 m deep and 3.4 m high, the largest space among similar caves in Taiyuanarea. Altars skirt the three walls of the cave and each altar has seven Buddha. All fourwalls are covered with small thousand Buddha in high relief, of which some eight hundredhave remained. No inscription indicative of its date was found in the cave. However, thestyle of the sculpture resembles the 4th phase of grotto temple at Tianlong Mountain inTaiyuan, which corresponds with the reigning period of Emperor Gaozong and EmpressWu Zetian. It must have come as a result of the Buddhist prosperity and infectious con-struction of Buddhist cave temples in the Tianlong Moutanin. The incomplete Cave 2 mustbe later than Cave 1 and probably has something to do with persecution of Buddhism inthe Huichang reign period. The construction of Caves3,4 and 5 took place from the 3rd to4th year(1088-89) of the Yuanyou reign period of the Song dynasty, according to the in-scription in Cave 4.
