吐鲁番古墓纸明器研究

Research on the Paper Burial Objects from the Ancient Tombs in Turpan

吐鲁番阿斯塔那发现的十六国到唐代的墓葬内,发现很多纸明器,包括纸鞋、纸帽与纸棺等,这是现见考古发掘中最早的纸明器。阿斯塔那的纸明器与中原直接相关,显示出一致性。同时表现出地域特点,它绝大部分是一种实物的替代性用品,是环境恶劣、物质匮乏的无奈之举。

A lot of paper burial objects including paper shoes, hats and coffins have been found in the tombs from Sixteen States to the Tang Dynasty in Astana, Turpan. They have been the earliest paper burial objects so far. The paper burial objects from Astana are closely related to those of the Central Plains, showing consistency with the latter. Meanwhile, some regional features are discernable, for example, the burial objects are mostly the substitutes for real objects.
