进入魏晋南北朝时期，佛教艺术的创作成为历史，佛教的造像艺术也逐渐成为中国古代石雕艺术的主要表现形式之一。
In the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, the creation of Buddhist art became history, and the Buddhist statue art gradually became one of the main forms of Chinese ancient stone carving art.
另一方面，魏晋南北朝雕塑在传统的基础之上也有了进一步的发展，民族之间的斗争与融合，加上异国文化的影响，使得当时的石雕艺术呈现出更为丰富多彩的面貌。首先是帝陵石刻群雕，比两汉更为常见，风格样式也发生了明显的变化，其中的代表作有梁文帝肖顺之建陵和梁安成康王肖秀墓前石雕。
On the other hand, sculpture in the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties also had further development on the basis of tradition. The struggle and integration of ethnic groups, together with the influence of foreign culture, made the stone carving art at that time presented a more colorful appearance. The first is the group carvings of imperial tombs, which are more common than those in the Han Dynasty, and the styles and styles have also changed obviously. Among them, the representative works are the stone carvings in front of the tomb of Xiao Shunzhi, Emperor Wendi of Liang Dynasty, and the stone carvings in front of Xiao Xiu's Tomb of emperor Kangkang.
六朝的墓表则直接继承汉晋以来的形制，它是在双螭盘曲的底座上树起多棱的柱体，柱体上端有铭刻的方版，最上为柱顶，在雕有覆莲的圆盖上置一小辟邪。其中六朝肖景墓表的形制最为俊健华美，雕饰虽多而无繁褥之感，从其精丽的莲盖顶饰，我们也看到了佛教艺术对中国传统石刻的深远影响。遗憾的是，北朝的帝陵石雕保存不佳，仅在洛阳邙山发现有石雕文吏残象，通高约有3米以上。不过我们从现存的北魏永固陵墓室中的浮雕群像，仍可窥视出北魏石雕艺术的杰成就。
The tombstone of the Six Dynasties directly inherited the shape of the Han and Jin Dynasties. It was built on a double curved base with a multi edged column. On the top of the column was an inscribed square plate. The top of the column was the top of the column. A small anti evil spirit was placed on the round cover carved with lotus. Among them, the shape of Xiao Jing's tombs in the Six Dynasties is the most beautiful. Although there are many carvings, there is no sense of complicated mattress. From the exquisite lotus roof decoration, we can see the profound influence of Buddhist art on Chinese traditional stone carvings. Unfortunately, the stone carvings of the Imperial Mausoleums of the Northern Dynasties were not well preserved. Only in Mangshan Mountain of Luoyang were found the remains of stone carvings with a height of more than 3 meters. However, we can still see the outstanding achievements of the stone carving art of the Northern Wei Dynasty from the relief images in the tomb chamber of YONGGU tomb in the Northern Wei Dynasty.
由此可见，至南北时期，佛教艺术已渗透到石雕的各个领域，并给它注入了前所未有的活力。
It can be seen that Buddhist art has penetrated into all fields of stone carving and injected unprecedented vitality into it.
