庆州龙江洞出土的土俑服饰考

Analysis of Clothes on Clay Figurines Yielded from the Yonggangdong site in Kyongju

Discovered by the Kyongju excavation team of cultural relics,a huge amount of figurines in various styles from a burial at the Longgangdong site generates substantial and wide influences among Korean archaeological and historical academia. According to the published data and Tang figurines yielded in China,this paper suggests that these figurines from Kyongju belonged to the Unified Silla Period dating to the Middle of the 8th century. The styles of clothes and round female figurines indicate critical and significant influences from the Tang Dynasty on the Silla state. Instead of completely intimating the Tang system,these figurines represented a binary clothes system which combined the traditions and customs from both the Silla state and the Tang Dynasty and provide important data for the study of political relationship between these two regions.
