本书充分挖掘房山石经等石刻材料，验之以传世文献和敦煌文书，从佛教社会史角度出发，运用微观与中观相结合的研究方法，同时关照宏观大背景，借鉴社会学、人类学和艺术史的视角，对唐代幽州地域的佛教与社会进行了立体式和跨领域的考察，对中古时代幽州的文化面貌进行了独特而新颖的阐释，也为深入认识契丹汉化及辽文化的演变轨迹提供了新视角。

From the perspective of Buddhist social history, this book uses a combination of microscopic and meso research methods, while taking into account the macro background, drawing on the perspectives of sociology, anthropology and art history, to conduct a three-dimensional and cross-field investigation of Buddhism and society in the Youzhou region of the Tang Dynasty, giving a unique and novel interpretation of the cultural outlook of Youzhou in the Middle Ages, and also providing a new perspective for in-depth understanding of the evolution trajectory of Khitan sinicization and Liao culture.（AI翻译）
