In this paper,we provide a full description of the four extant Buddhist constructions in central Sichuan Province,P.R.China: the grotto,shrine,eaves and cliffside.The work is based on field investigation of the Bashu cliffside carvings and analysis of historical documents.We point out that the Bashu cliffside carvings construction bears witness to Buddhist construction and culture in central Sichuan in different historical periods.They demonstrate that the nationalism and regionalism of such construction enriches the regional architectural connotations which play a referent role in modern architectural creation.
