河北鄴城遺址趙彭城北朝佛寺與北吴庄佛教造像埋藏坑=The Ruins of a Buddhist Temple of the Northern Dynastiesat Zhaopengcheng and the Buddhist Sculpture Hoard at Bei Wuzhuang in the Ye City Site,Hebei Province
In 2011 through 2012,the large-scale architectural foundation on the north end of the central axis of the Buddhist temple found at Zhaopengcheng Village and the large-scale architectural foundation on the central axis of the courtyard in the southeast of this temple,which was in the southern outskirt of the Southern Ye City,were found and excavated.Nearby the Bei Wuzhuang Village,which is in the eastern outskirt of the Southern Ye City,a Buddhist sculpture hoard was found and rescued.From this hoard,thousands of Buddhist sculptures were unearthed,many of which bore exact dates including the eras of the Northern Wei,Eastern Wei,Northern Qi,Northern Zhou,Sui and Tang Dynasties.Both of the discoveries powerfully proved the position of the Ye City as the center of the Buddhism in northern China during the 6th century.
