佛教自漢代傳入中國(guó)，初期只被視作神仙道術(shù)的一種，流傳不廣。西晉以后，社會(huì)動(dòng)蕩，人民生活痛苦，為佛教的傳播提供了的寬廣的民間土壤。另一方面，匈奴、鮮卑、羯、氐、羌等少數(shù)民族入主中國(guó)北方，它們的文化傳統(tǒng)與來源于西域的佛教更易于相互認(rèn)同。因此，在南北朝時(shí)期佛教得以迅速生長(zhǎng)，并滲透到社會(huì)各個(gè)階層。南北朝時(shí)期也是中國(guó)佛教藝術(shù)的輝煌時(shí)代，莫高窟、炳靈寺石窟、麥積山石窟等早期石窟寺開鑿于這一時(shí)代，現(xiàn)存佛教造像也始見于此時(shí)。
Buddhism was introduced into China in the Han Dynasty. At the beginning, it was only regarded as a kind of immortal Taoism. After the Western Jin Dynasty, social unrest and people's life suffering provided a broad folk soil for the spread of Buddhism. On the other hand, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities came to northern China, and their cultural traditions and Buddhism from the western regions were easier to identify with each other. Therefore, in the northern and Southern Dynasties, Buddhism grew rapidly and penetrated into all social strata. The northern and Southern Dynasties were also the glorious era of Chinese Buddhist art. The early Grottoes such as Mogao Grottoes, Binglingsi grottoes and Maijishan grottoes were built in this era, and the existing Buddhist statues were also found at this time.
鎏金是自先秦時(shí)代即產(chǎn)生的傳統(tǒng)金屬裝飾工藝，至今仍在民間流行，亦稱“火鍍金”或“汞鍍金”，是把由金和水銀合成的金汞劑涂在銅器表層，加熱使水銀蒸發(fā)，使金牢固地附在銅器表面不脫落的技術(shù)。中國(guó)的鎏金技術(shù)始于戰(zhàn)國(guó)，漢代以后頗為流行，是當(dāng)時(shí)最值得稱道的銅器表面裝飾工藝之一，曾先后稱“黃金涂”“金黃涂”“金涂”“涂金”“鍍金”，宋代始稱“鎏金”。鎏金工藝是我國(guó)一種傳統(tǒng)的技術(shù)。
