男子私凿“奥特曼石窟”，本人回应：将拆除

近日，四川安岳石羊镇一男子自制“奥特曼石窟”的视频在网络上引发关注。视频显示，石窟内造像头部以下为常见的大佛禅坐形态，头部却是日本动漫人物奥特曼的造型，这一独特创作迅速成为热议焦点。

A video of a man carving an Ultraman-like figure in Shiyang town, Anyue county, Sichuan province, has gone viral online. The footage shows a seated Buddha-like statue inside a grotto with the body of a traditional Buddhist sculpture but crowned with the head of Ultraman, a Japanese anime character. This peculiar fusion rapidly ignited online discussions.

据 报道， 6月28日，雕刻者周先生称，相关石窟应很快就会被拆除，下一步，他会雕刻另一个“没有争议且足够有趣”的石窟。对于雕刻下一个石窟是否已经得到了有关部门批准，周先生并未给出回应。同日，当地有关部门工作人员也表示，涉事石窟正在整改。

According to reports, the carver, surnamed Zhou, stated on Saturday that the grotto would soon be demolished. He plans to carve another "non-controversial yet intriguing" sculpture next, though he did not confirm whether authorities had approved the new project. The same day, local officials confirmed the grotto was undergoing rectification.

“奥特曼石窟”创作者周先生此前表示，他在石羊镇一处石壁上开凿了洞窟，想雕一个有趣点的形象，觉得奥特曼的形象很有意思。他先用专业工具在崖壁上凿开了一个高3.5米的大洞，洞窟初见雏形后，再用专业工具进洞进行雕刻，最后成型的石刻雕像有2.8米高。

Zhou explained he carved the figure into the cliff in Shiyang town seeking amusement, finding Ultaman's design "interesting". Using professional tools, he first excavated a 3.5-meter-high cave, then sculpted the 2.8-meter-tall statue inside.

据悉，安岳县被称为“中国石刻之乡”，现存唐宋摩崖石刻造像10万余尊、经文近40万字，分布在全县46个乡镇（街道），其中国家级文物保护单位10处。

Notably, Anyue county, deemed as the "Hometown of Chinese Stone Carvings", hosts over 100,000 Tang and Song dynasties cliff carvings and 400,000-character scriptures across 46 townships, including 10 national-level heritage sites.

“奥特曼石窟”引发关注后有网友调侃，该创作弥补了摩崖石刻没有奥特曼的缺憾。但不少网友认为在“中国石刻之乡”雕刻日本动漫形象是“文化入侵”，破坏了当地千年石刻文化的纯粹性。另外，在法律层面上，私人能否进行开凿雕刻以及雕刻何种造型等也是热议焦点。

Some netizens joked that the creation "filled the void of Ultaman in ancient Chinese grotto art", while others criticized it as "cultural invasion" that undermined the purity of millennia-old local heritage. Legal concerns also emerged regarding private carving permissions and content regulation.

此后随着事件发酵，周先生参考南充博物馆内汉代陶俑的形象，对整体造型进行了大幅修改。

而安岳县文化广播电视和旅游局工作人员表示，相关人员已前往现场查看过，该石刻位置不在文物保护范围内。

6月23日，周先生表示，已停止了石刻的开凿，并将此前发布的相关视频全部下架。

Amid mounting controversy, Zhou later redesigned the sculpture based on Han Dynasty pottery figures from the Nanchong Museum. Authorities clarified that the site lay outside protected cultural zones.

Zhou halted all carving activities on June 23 and removed related videos from social media platforms.
