南朝陵墓神道石刻渊源研究

A Study of the Origin of the Stone Sculptures along the Spirit Roads of Tombs of the Southern Dynasties Period

南京、江宁、句容、丹阳一带的南朝帝陵、王侯墓的神道石刻至今还保存着30多处，但大多只存一二件。而具有当时规模的有丹阳三城巷梁文帝萧顺建陵存石兽2件、石柱2件、石碑座2座，南京尧化门外甘家巷梁安成康王萧秀墓存石兽2件、石碑座2座、石柱础1件、石柱1件、石碑2座，南京张库村梁临川靖惠王萧宏墓存石兽2件、石柱2件、石碑1件、石碑座1座。虽有例外，仍可推知石刻规制为石兽、石柱、石碑各2件。

Based on literal records and archaeological material, this article restudies the stone animals and pillars along the spirit roads of Southern Dynasties period imperial mausoleums and prince tombs, as well as their carving institution and origin. The author believes that these objects are all made by following the carving techniques of the Eastern Han and Jin periods in the Central Plains, though they are more lifelike in workmanship and show some features absorbed from Buddhist art, and their orderliness has no precedent in previous times.
