单项选择题

现在说到砖石建筑物,这里面最主要的是塔。也许同志们就要这样想了。“你谈了半天,总是谈些封建和迷信的东西。”但是事实上,在一个阶级社会里,一切艺术和技术主要都是为统治阶级服务的。过去的社会既是封建和迷信的社会,当时的建筑物当然是为封建和迷信的社会服务的;因此,中国的建筑遗产中,最豪华的、最庄严美丽的、最智慧的创造,总是宫殿和庙宇。欧洲建筑遗产的精华也全是些宫殿和教堂。

在一个城市中,宫殿的美是可望而不可即的,而庙宇寺院的美,人民大众都可以欣赏和享受。在寺院建筑中,佛塔是给人民群众以深刻的印象的。它是多层的高耸人云的建筑物。全城的人在遥远的地方就可以看见它。它是最能引起人们对家乡和祖国的情感的。

①在佛教未传到中国之前,我们的国土上已经有过一种高耸的多层建筑物,就是汉代的“重楼”。②秦汉的封建主常常有追求长生不老和会见神仙的思想;幻想仙人总在云雾缥缈的高处,有“仙人好楼居”的说法,因此建造高楼,企图引诱仙人下降。③佛教初来的时候,带来了印度“翠堵坡”的概念和形象——一个座上覆放着半圆形的塔身,上立一根“刹”竿,穿着几层“金盘”。后来这个名称首先失去了“翠”字,“堵坡”变成“塔婆”,最后省去“婆”字而简称为“塔”。④中国后代的塔,就是在重楼的顶上安上一个“翠堵坡”而形成的。

以下不属于中国建筑中“塔”的特征的一项是()。

A.佛塔应该是寺院建筑的一种,是为封建和迷信社会服务的

B.为了让全城的人在遥远的地方就能够看见,塔修成高耸入云的建筑

C.塔是中国固有的建筑形式,只是在佛教传人中国以后有一些发展罢了

D.塔的形式也反映出人们对宗教信仰的向往和追求
