陕西历史博物馆藏明秦简王墓仪仗俑

The Figurines of Ceremonial Guards from the Mausoleum of Prince Qinjian in Shaanxi History Museum

明秦简王墓仪仗俑是目前仅见的俑底具有墨书题记的明亲王级别的仪仗俑群,具有重要的学术研究潜力和价值。在对材料进行完整梳理的基础上,我们认为秦简王墓仪仗俑基本符合明代亲王仪仗的制度。相比于明早期亲王政治权力较大时期的僭越频仍,明中后期中央对亲王的规制则更为有效,亲王僭越现象明显减少。

The names of paraphernalia used by the ceremonial guards written on the bottom of each figurines of ceremonial guards from the mausoleum of Prince Qinjian are the only found among the discoveries of the Princes'figurines of ceremonial guards in Ming Dynasty,which contain much potential and value for further research.Based on the complete analysis of the material,it could be suggested that the figurines basically matched the requirement of ceremonial guards for a prince in the Ming Dynasty.Compared with the the similar discoveries of figurines from Early Ming Dynasty,it could be inferred that instead of held significant political power,the Princes in Middle and Late Ming Dynasty were ruled strictly and effectively by the emperor.
