敦煌供养僧服考论(二)——僧服披着方式浅议

About the Costumes for the Donor Monks at Dunhuang(Ⅱ):A Preliminary Study on the Style of Wearing Monastic Clothes

佛教传入中国之初,僧服仍基本采用印度僧人的通肩、袒右的衣着形式,并无太大变化。由于地域、环境和文化的特殊性,敦煌供养僧人衣着出现了不同的披着方式。其中覆肩袒右、偏衫、钩纽、帔帛等,反映了佛教服饰汉化、世俗化的表现形式。

When Buddhism first spread into China, monks usually wore the monastic clothes with two shoulders covered or one shoulder bared. In Dunhuang, because of its special geographical location, environment, and culture, different styles appeared among the donor monks. Some styles such as wearing the monastic clothes with the right shoulder bared, or with buttons fastened on one side of the body, or using fasteners, or wrapping the robe around reflect the Sinicization and secularization of Buddhist costumes.
