譯文：
門石窟開鑿於北魏孝文帝年間，之後歷經東魏、西魏、北齊、隋、唐、五代、宋等朝代連續大規模營造達400余年之久，南北長達1公裏，今存有窟龕2345個，造像10萬余尊，碑刻題記2800余品。其中“龍門二十品”是書法魏碑精華，褚遂良所書的“伊闕佛龕之碑”則是初唐楷書藝術的典範。
龍門石窟延續時間長，跨越朝代多，以大量的實物形象和文字資料從不同側面反映了中國古代政治、經濟、宗教、文化等許多領域的發展變化，對中國石窟藝術的創新與發展做出了重大貢獻。2000年被聯合國科教文組織列為世界文化遺產。
擴展資料：
龍門石窟是北魏、唐代皇家貴族發願造像最集中的地方，是皇家意誌和行為的體現，具有濃厚的國家宗教色彩。兩朝的造像反映出迥然不同的時代風格，北魏造像在這裏失去了雲岡石窟造像粗獷、威嚴、雄健的特征，而生活氣息逐漸變濃，趨向活潑、清秀、溫和。
這些北魏造像，臉部瘦長，雙肩瘦削，胸部平直，衣紋的雕刻使用平直刀法，堅勁質樸。在北魏時期雕鑿的眾多洞窟中，以古陽洞、賓陽中洞和蓮花洞、石窟寺這幾個洞窟最有代表價值。
其中古陽洞集中了北魏遷都洛陽初期的壹批皇室貴族和宮廷大臣的造像，典型地反映出北魏王朝舉國崇佛的歷史情態。這些形制瑰異、琳瑯滿目的石刻藝術品，是中國傳統文化與域外文明交匯融合的珍貴記錄。
