碩士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 藝術史與藝術評論研究所 === 97 === This essay is based on the inscriptions with carved time, and matching the corresponding niches with the subjects of studies. Then we analysis the style and form of the statues and niches. Finally, we classify the statues of Longmen grottoes into three periods. At the first period, we mainly focuse on the statues carved in 495~504 AD. The Guyangdong cave is the representative of the large-scale cave. At the second period, we focuse on the statues carved in 505~517 AD. The Binyangzhongdong cave is the representative of the large-scale cave. At the third period we put emphasis on the statues carved in 518~534 AD. The Huangfugongku cave is the representative of the large-scale cave. Then we try to observe and conclude the distinguishing feature of the statues in each period. By the analyzing process, we will know the sequence of how the Longmen style was formed and its influence on the other grottoes or how it was affected by other grottoes. Finally, we try to make a simple statistics out of the above information about the relationship between the numbers of niches and time frame. Moreover, we try to connect the statististic result with history records, like Weisbu or Luoyang qielan ji to look for the possible factors of the construction of Longmen grottoes.
