异质之美:上林湖新出瓷墓志生成的地域因缘及其文化内涵

A Study on the Regional Factors and Cultural Connotation of the Newly Unearthed Porcelain Epitaph in Shanglin Lake

自二十世纪初至今,浙江慈溪、余姚两县交界处的上林湖一带陆续出土了百余件唐五代时期的瓷墓志。上林湖地区是唐五代时期越窑的主产区,制瓷工艺发达,有着悠久的生产罐状瓷器的历史。当地居民多就地取材,从而促成了这批质地特殊、形制各异的瓷墓志的出现。就内容而言,这些瓷墓志不仅具有成熟的墓志铭所必备的文体特征,还有特殊的隶事功能——详细记载了墓地的四至、买卖的详情以及棺位的走向等,为我们了解当地的丧葬习俗提供了重要的文本依据。

Since the beginning of the 20th century,more than 100 porcelain epitaphs in Tang and Five Dynasties have been unearthed from Shanglin Lake,which is located in Counties of Cixi and Yuyao of Zhejiang Province.Shanglin Lake is the main production area of Yue Kiln during the Tang and Five Dynasties. With greatly developed porcelain technologies,it has a long history of producing pot-shaped porcelain.Local residents have made a lot of local materials,which contributed to the appearance of these special,diversified types of porcelain epitaphs.The porcelain epitaphs not only have the stylistic features of mature epitaph, but also carry special chronicle function.They recorded the four places and details of sales of the cemetery, as well as the direction of the coffins,which provided an important text basis for us to understand the local funeral customs.
