Based on a comprehensive investigation of the sutra illustrations in the Tang dynasty wall paint-ings at Dunhuang, this paper studies and explains the developments in expressive technique these paintings show. These illustrations can be divided into four categories of composition: 1) long scrolls with multiple scenes; 2) single pictures; 3) symmetrical compositions; and 4) symmetrical compositions focused around a central preaching scene. The fourth among these became the most popular in the Tang dynasty. This type took shape during the Sui dynasty and originated from spatial painting techniques as a result of the development of landscape and building pictures from the Six Dynasties, which combined with concurrent developments in sutra illustration to advance the spatial depictions of large-scale sutra illustrations for ages to come.%本文基于对隋朝敦煌壁画中经变画的全面调查,试图对隋朝经变画在表现技法的发展等方面进行阐释.隋朝的经变画从表现形式上分为四类,1.长卷式构图;2.单幅结构;3.对称构图;4.以说法场面为中心的中轴对称构图.其中第四类成为唐代以后最流行的构图形式.这一形式在隋朝的最终形成,源于六朝以来山水画、建筑画的发展而带来的空间表现技法的成就,而经变画的发展也推动了后来大画面经变中空间表现的日益成熟.
