陇中:中国民俗剪纸之源——吐鲁番出土剪纸的再论证

The Chinese Paper-cut Originated in Longzhong——A Study on the Paper-cut Works in the Tomb Ruins in Astana

吐鲁番阿斯塔那古墓出土的5件北朝时期的团花剪纸,是迄今为止我国发现的最早的剪纸成品,是麹氏高昌王时期随葬的民间宗教用品,分别是对鹿、对猴、莲纹、莲蝶纹、莲轮纹团花剪纸。通过对这几幅剪纸纹样及其文化内涵的分析,推断出中国剪纸的发祥地有可能是陇中地区。

The five works of paper-cut, found in the tomb ruins in Astana in Tulufan area 1500 years ago, were so far proved to be earliest ones in China. They were for religious rituals in Gaochang kingdom with distinct images such as deer, monkey, lotus, wheel,and butterfly. A further study of the works testifies that Longzhong was the place where paper-cut originated in China.
