从汉画像石到敦煌壁画——一种颂扬图像在中国与中亚的流传

From the Han Dynasty Relief Stone Scultpure to Dunhuang Wall Paintings——The Spread of An Eulogistic Image in China and Central Asia

本文提出了敦煌莫高窟晚唐第156窟张议潮出行图与汉代墓葬画像石之间可能存在的相似之处,这种相似性是经由7世纪中期粟特阿夫拉西阿卜壁画上的一些共同元素观察到的。尽管这些以狩猎和过桥场景为代表的共同元素只出现在晚唐时期的敦煌,但其图像源流可以上溯到中国汉代的墓葬艺术。阿夫拉西阿卜壁画的中国场景中,粟特艺术家可能也复制了一些中国元素,并根据他们自己的审美趣味进行了改动。本文通过对帝王狩猎和过桥场景的分析,论述敦煌壁画张议潮统军出行图和中亚壁画在突显王权或颂扬权贵涵义上的密切联系。

This paper points out the similarities between the outing scenes of Zhang Yichao depicted in Mogao cave 156 of the Late Tang dynasty and those of Han dynasty relief stone sculpture,which can be observed in the common elements from the seventh-century wall paintings of Afrashiab in Sogdiana.Though the common elements represented by the scenes of hunting and passing over a bridge only appeared in Dunhuang during the Late Tang dynasty,their iconographical sources can be traced back to Han dynasty tomb art in China.In the Chinese section in the wall paintings of Afrashiab,the Sogdian artists might have copied some Chinese elements and transformed them according to their own aesthetic taste.By analyzing the scenes of an Emperor hunting and passing over a bridge,this paper discusses the close connection between the outing scene of Zhang Yichao from Dunhuang wall paintings and Central Asian wall paintings in terms of highlighting the royalty and eulogizing the privileged ones.
