陕北、山西地区汉画像石仙境图像中树形图年代序列与构型特征研究

Study of the Chronology and Structural Characteristics of"Tree-shaped Paintings"in Han-Dynasty Stone Reliefs from Northern Shaanxi and Shanxi

本文梳理陕北、山西地区画像石仙境图像中的树形图的造型特征,结合其组合图像,构建该地区树形图的年代框架。在此基础上,认为占据主导地位的树形图造型特征的形成过程可大致以两次大规模羌乱的爆发为时间界限,反映出各地区间画像石仙境图像造型的交流情况。其中佛教与西王母不死信仰的结合,更加体现羌乱背景下,人们对幸福安定与长生不死的无比渴望。

This paper examines the stylistic features of tree-shaped paintings in the image stones of northern Shaanxi and Shanxi regions,and constructs a chronological framework for these motifs based on their assemblages.It is proposed that the dominant stylistic features of tree-shaped paintings were largely defined by the two major Qiang rebellions,reflecting the interactions and exchanges in motif styles among different regions.The integration of Buddhism and immortality beliefs related to the Queen Mother of the West further illustrates the intense yearning for stability,happiness,and eternal life amidst the backdrop of the Qiang rebellions.
