大足石刻于1999年被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》,代表公元9世纪至13世纪世界石窟艺术的最高水平。
中新网重庆9月15日电 (张旭)“我们对大足石刻的保护,已累积诸多经验,形成系统性方案。”近日,大足石刻研究院保护工程中心主任赵岗告诉中新网,这些崖壁间的造像在现代保护方案中逐渐“活”起来。
据了解,大足石刻是重庆市大足区境内摩崖造像的总称,规模宏大、雕刻精美、题材多样,5万余尊石窟造像代表公元9世纪至13世纪世界石窟艺术的最高水平,被誉为“世界石窟艺术史上最后的丰碑”。1999年,大足石刻被联合国教科文组织列入《世界遗产名录》。
近日,“文化中国行 长江文化探访”主题采访团一行走进重庆市大足区,在崖壁间和匠人的指尖感受造像艺术“活”于当下及未来的点滴。
千手观音、华严三圣、六道轮回图……采访团行走在宝顶山石刻景区,连环画般的摩崖造像,引起众人的阵阵赞叹。在千手观音造像处,赵岗和同事手持专业工具,在为该造像进行日常养护。
赵岗介绍,2008年,国家文物局对千手观音造像启动专项保护项目,历时数年对其进行了保护修缮。此外,近年,针对水害问题,有关部门启动了大足石刻宝顶山大佛湾水害治理工程,建立了综合性的立体截排水系统,基本解决了宝顶山大佛湾造像区域的水害问题。
前述经验,此后被用于大足石刻小佛湾造像的保护修缮。目前,小佛湾保护修缮工程本体已完成修复。这些,都为同类文物水害治理提供了有益借鉴。
在崖壁间,采访团看到了专业人士为保护造像而作出的努力;走进当地匠人的工作室,大家看到的是大足石刻的传承。
“感谢这个很好的时代,给了我这样的机会。”69岁的大足石雕国家级非物质文化遗产代表性传承人刘能风说,与锤、錾相伴40余载,他深爱着这门技艺。如今,他仍然在琢磨技艺、构思新作。
大足石雕与大足石刻相伴而生。作为颇具巴渝特色的纯手工雕刻工艺美术品,大足石雕以重庆产的砂石、青石以及贵州、四川产的紫袍玉、汉白玉为材质,雕刻各类造像。
早年间,刘能风曾以杀猪卖肉为生。20世纪80年代,大足石刻成为海内外知名的景点,吸引大量游客参观,不少手艺人用本地石料雕刻纪念品出售,刘能风也投身其中。
通过耳濡目染、系统学习和不断苦练,刘能风的手艺日渐精湛。2025年3月,刘能风入选第六批国家级非物质文化遗产代表性传承人名单。如今,刘能风已有300余名亲传弟子,其中包括跟随他数十年的徒弟。刘能风的孙子如今也投身该行业。
据介绍,近年来,大足区人民政府不仅举办石雕大赛、石雕人才高级研修班,也开展石雕进校园等活动,通过这些方式,助力大足石雕项目的保护、传承和发展。
当地文旅部门介绍,大足石雕将传统与现代结合,融入当代生活和时代审美,成为了独特的旅游纪念品、珍贵的工艺收藏品、高档的馈赠礼品。目前,大足石雕已远销美国、日本、新加坡、韩国等地。
