对汉画中早期道教神蹻的多重阐释

On the Multiple Interpretations of the Early Taoist Immortal-ridings Depicted in Han Dynasty Stone Relief

汉画像中有许多表现道教升仙长生思想的图像,而神蹻也是常伴升仙者左右的神性物。神蹻是道教思想直接影响的结果,是汉人不迂执于现实长生成仙的体现,传达出汉人对得道之"道"的理解和认识;神蹻也是汉人忧患意识的焦点性载体、得道主体观的象征和其社会性孤独感的变相表现和避难所。

Abstract： There are many images about Taoist longevity and immortality in Han Dynasty stone relier, while the immortal-ridings are the divine beings accompanying those who seek for immortality. Immortal-ridings are the results of the influence of Taoism, which reflected the Han people＇s pursuit for longevity and immortality and which conveyed the Han people＇s understanding and awareness of Tao. The immortal-ridings are also the embodiment of the Han people＇s sense of hardship, the symbol of Taoist subject consciousness as well as the expres- sion and sanctuary of their social loneliness.
