皖北区域文化艺术探索研究——芒砀山汉文化与墓葬艺术特色

A Research into Northern Anhui Culture and Art——Han Culture and Tomb Art at Mangdangshan Mountain

芒砀山虽说是个小镇,但它蕴含着丰富的宝藏,与此同时,芒砀山还是"汉兴之地",就是在这里,汉高祖刘邦"斩蛇起义"挥师西进,逐鹿中原,开平民天子之先河,建立了一个伟大的历史符号"汉代"。葬在芒砀山的有梁国八代九王,上至梁孝王刘武,下至梁王后及嫔妃等。芒砀山文化博大精深、历史悠久,尤其是汉文化资源十分丰富,墓葬的规模与设计更是别具一格。其中巨幅"四神"壁画比甘肃的敦煌壁画还要早六百余年,成为我国时代最早、级别最高、保护最完整、面积最大的古代壁画。

Although Mangdangshan Mountain is a small town, it is abundant in natural resources. Right in here, Li- ubang, the founder of Han dynasty, began the rebellion by killing a serpent with his sword, then pushed the army west- ward, fought among rivals for the throne, and finally founded the great empire, Han Dynasty. Buried at Mangdangshan Mountain were 9 kings of Liang State of the Han, including Liu Wu, King Xiao of the Liang State and his queerLs. With a long history, Mangdangshan Mountain has especially rich cultural heritage of Han. The graves at Mangdangshan Mountain are unique in the size and design. In the tombs, the huge ＂Four Gods＂ cave paintings, as the earliest, uppermost, most complete and biggest ancient cave paintings, were over 600 years older than Dunhuang cave paintings in Gansu province.
