浮雕为图像造型浮突于石料表面(与沉雕正好相反)，是半立体型雕刻品。根据图像造型脱石深浅程度的不同，又可分为浅浮雕和高浮雕。浅浮雕是单层次雕像，内容比较单一;高浮雕则是多层次造像，内容较为繁复。
Embossment is a semi-solid sculpture, which relieves on the surface of stone in an image form (contrary to sunken sculpture). According to the different depths of stone removal in image modelling, it can be divided into shallow relief and high relief. Shallow relief is a single-level statue, the content is relatively single; high relief is a multi-level statue, the content is more complex.
浮雕的雕刻技艺和表现体裁与圆雕基本相同。古今很多大型纪念性建筑物和高档府第、民宅都附有此类装饰，其主要作品是壁堵、花窗和龙柱(早期)及柱础等。
The relief sculpture technique and the performance style are basically the same as the round sculpture. Many large-scale Memorial buildings, high-grade houses and houses in ancient and modern times are decorated with this kind of decoration. Its main works are wall blockage, window and dragon pillar (early) and pillar foundation.
