Dear Ms Ma,

大足县在重庆市的西北，县城距重庆百余公里。县城东西长达四公里，南北宽两公里，城四周丘陵起伏，丛山连绵。东有宝顶山，南有南山，西有妙高山、石篆山，北有北山，都是风景优美，并藏着古代劳动人民所制作的石刻艺术的名胜地区。
大足石刻是我国重要的石窟造像之一，始凿于唐景福元年（公元89年），经五代至宋达到鼎盛，终成于南宋末期，明、清仅有一些零星雕刻。造像题材广泛，艺术手法丰富，具有浓郁的生活情趣和地方色彩。大足北山主要是唐末、五代、宋的官僚、地主为了祈福而造的像，宝顶山是南宋时密宗教徒赵智凤，为建立传教道场造的像。大足石刻虽然主要是佛教造像，但历代的匠师们却充分发挥了雕塑艺术语言的特点，把他们对美的理想溶化在造像中，直到今天仍能给我们以美的享受。
