Connotation Discrimination of Gods Pictures in Portrayed Stone Tomb of Eastern Han Dynasty—Taking Important Subjects about Gods and Spirits in Tomb Door of Northern Shaanxi as Narrative Centre

这篇论文所要解决的问题是在前辈学者对陕北地区东汉画像石墓葬艺术进行风格分期、年代考证与题材综述等多方面研究的基础上,以对该地区数处有代表性的、能够大致反映该地画像石墓葬艺术发展脉络的画像石墓墓门部位的若干重要神异图像(题材)进行研究入手,通过对具体的“上下文”图像雕绘语境进行分析,结合该地区特殊的文化史氛围和相关的重要文献资料线索,在注意到这些神异图像之间相互联系的同时,细致地考释与辨析这些重要的神异图像(题材)在该地区画像石墓墓门部位上的不同象征意义及其在墓葬中的雕绘功能,通过此种解析,笔者进一步强调了“墓门”区域在陕北地区东汉画像石墓葬中所具有的特殊的重要意义与地位;而在本论文的结尾部分,笔者则通过对该地区画像石墓葬中新近发掘出土的一段招魂铭文的解析及对该地画像石墓墓门部位相关题材的另类解读,试图在以后的求知道路上,进一步地将以上的研究思路纳入到两汉时期该地区特有的那样一种丧葬礼俗和信仰传统中去。
