汉代画像石中的佛教环境生存智慧

The Stone Reliefs of Han Dynasty: Visual Images of Aesthetic Conceptions of Existence of Early Buddhism

尽管从汉代墓葬中出土的画像石不是纯粹的佛教绘画,但它蕴涵有丰富的早期佛教存在论生态审美观念。这种审美观念的产生,与当时特殊的文化转型背景有着密切关系。通过汉画像石直观生动的表现,我们在领略早期佛教无情有性、众生平等这一心灵金弦的氤氲热气之外,也可以感受生态灾难警示、命运终极关怀这个醒世木铎的悲壮与厚重。这些作为两千年前墓葬依附物而保留下来的文化遗迹,对于当前克服日益严重的生态危机具有重要的借鉴价值。

Though the stone reliefs excavated from the tombs of Han dynasty are not pure Buddhist hags, they contain ecological, aesthetic conceptions of existence of early Buddhism, which had emerged the particular background of cultural transformation at that time. Through the vivid and visual images stone reliefs, we can not only have a taste of early Buddhism＇s belief in self without sentiments and in paintout of of the equality of all living things, but also sense the profundity and solemnity of the topics-- the warning of ecological disasters and the ultimate care about human destiny. These cultural remains preserved as appendages to the tombs 2000 years ago are very significant in our efforts to solve the increasingly serious ecological crises.
