胡人的眼睛:唐诗与唐俑互证的艺术史

Eyes of Western Regions People:Art History in Poems and Earthenware Figures of Tang Dynasty

唐诗与唐俑的独到对接和交汇印证,是目前学术前沿进行"史诗互证、以图证史"的拓展。唐诗与唐俑对胡人眼睛的描绘,是胡汉文化最醒目的区别标识之一,既是文人与工匠的艺术映衬,也是中古社会史诗气象的契合。用文物图像展现的诗史景观,可使人走入心灵对话的新境界,突破了只见文字描述不见人形灵魂的固定模式,成为凝固时代的传世肖像信史,给了我们认识艺术史传奇大千世界的启迪。

The cross-disciplinary study of Tang dynasty poetry and sculpture is an extension of the cutting edge scholarly practice of ＂interplay of history and poetry＂ and ＂knowing history through imagery＂. The abundant depictions of the eyes of the Western Regions people [huren 胡人] seen in Tang poems and earthenware figures are the most prominent signal of exotic and Han cultures, representing the artistic tastes of contemporary literati and craftsmen as well as the vivid embodiment of the integration of history and poetry during ＂Middle Ages＂ China. Reading history and poetry with images of ancient objects is a novel practice that breaks the limitations of words and leads to a greater world of art expression.
