Coparative Study on Archaeological Remains between Japan and China unearthed from Ancient Capitals

1974年至1994年，中国社会科学院考古研究所对中国洛阳永宁寺进行了考古发掘。1994年，我们的研究小组参加了那次科学研究资助的发掘工作。根据这些结果，日本将于1996年发表挖掘报告，我们日方将于1997年翻译并发表该报告。在本工作中，我们将我们对永宁寺寺庙建筑群和出土考古遗迹的研究结果和观点添加到中国的原始报告中。为此，1995年，我们派出新的研究小组到洛阳考察，取得了显著成果。木塔的原始形态可能与中国研究者的重建方案有所不同。在木塔台地周围出土了许多泥塑雕像和许多部分壁画。里面有典型的北魏风格的佛像。这些遗骸被摧毁成许多小碎片。但是，经过详细的观察，我们了解了它们的原始形式、结构和工艺。我们找到了莲花图案的屋顶瓦和终端脊端瓦。我们认为，这些瓦片是在北魏时期开始流行使用瓦片之前的早期阶段放置的。永宁寺是东亚寺院的起源地之一。因此，我们认为对永宁寺的研究和工作对东亚考古学和艺术史和佛教史具有重要意义。

From 1974 to 1994, archaeological excavation of Yongningsi temple in Luoyang, China had been carried out by Institute of Archaeology (IA), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.In 1994, our research team took part in that excavation on Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research.On those results, IA will publish the excavation report in 1996, we Japan side will translate and publish this report in 1997.In this work, we add our results and views about temple compound and archaeological remains unearthed from Yongningsi temple to original chinese report.For this purpose, We sent new research team to Luoyang, took great results in 1995.1.It is probable that Original form of wooden pagoda differs from reconstruct plan by chinese researcher.2.Many clay statuaries and many parts of fresco are unearthed around the platform of wooden pagoda.there are Buddha images of typical Northern Wei style in those.those remains were destroyed into lots of small pieces.But, after detailed observation, We understand original forms, structures and crafts of those.3.We find lotus pattern roof tiles and terminal ridge-end tiles.We interpret that those tiles are placed in the early stage before the popular use of such tiles which began at Northern Wei Period.Yongningsi temple is one of origins of temple in East Asia.So that, We think that the study and work on Yongningsi temple has great importance to archaeology and the history of art & Buddhism in East Asia.
