洛阳洛龙区关林庙宋代砖雕墓发掘简报

Excavation of a Tomb of the Song Dynasty in Guanlinmiao,Luolong District,Luoyang

2009年10～11月,洛阳市文物工作队在洛龙区关林庙东南发掘了一座宋代墓葬,为一座仿木结构单室砖墓,由墓道、甬道和墓室三部分组成,已被盗扰。墓室呈八边形,墓壁有砖雕装饰,小型砖雕内容为孝子故事,共10件23幅,除一幅外,均有榜题;大型砖雕内容为散乐、备宴、杂剧等。这些砖雕质地坚硬,制作规整,表面无刀刻痕迹,人物线条圆润流畅,可能是将砖坯放入刻好的模子内成形。根据墓葬形制和砖雕内容,推断此墓的时代应为北宋晚期。

From October to November of 2009, archaeologists excavated a looted tomb of the Song Dynasty southeast of Guanlinmiao, in Luolong District, Luoyang City. It was a single-chamber brick tomb with imitation wood structure, composed of a tomb passage, an entry passage, and an octagonal tomb chamber. The walls of the tomb are decorated with carved brick, including 10 sets of small-scale carvings depicting filial piety images, totalling 23 scenes in all. 22 of these are inscribed. The large-scale carvings on the tomb walls de- pict musical performances, banquet preparations, acrobatic and dramatic performances, and so on. These brick carvings are hard and exquisite in make, without visible marks from the cutting tools. The lines of the figures are so round, smooth, and fluent that they may have been produced by pressing the unfired bricks into carved molds. Judging by the tomb structure and the themes of the brick carvings, the tomb was built in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
