汉墓绘画中的两个图像体系——主流社会天界图像与非主流社会仙界图像的比较

Two Image Systems of the Paintings in Han Dynasty Tombs——A Comparison between Celestial Image of the Mainstream Society and Fairyland Image of the Non-mainstream Society

我国墓葬研究的成果半数以上是在汉代,而汉代的研究重点是汉墓绘画,特别是其中的西王母信仰,但西王母信仰的认识存在一定的偏颇。汉墓绘画主要存在于汉画像石与汉墓壁画中,其中的西王母图像分布有着极大的反差,前者西王母图像普遍存在,后者西王母图像罕见,这一决定信仰指向的现象几乎被学术界忽视。因此,我们有这样的逻辑起点:汉墓绘画中西王母图像存在着不同的类型分布,这种现象表明汉代存在着主流社会和非主流社会两个不同的图像体系。

Most of the achievements in Chinese tombs research are in Han Dynasty, and these researches fo- cus on paintings in Han Dynasty tombs, especially the belief of Hsi Wang - Mu who is the Mother Queen of the West. However, it is a little biased for the understanding of the belief of Hsi Wang - Mu. Paintings in Han Dynasty tombs mainly exist in stone portraits Han Dynasty tombs and Han Dynasty which there is stark contrast in the distribution of the image of Hsi Wang - Mu. In the frescoes tombs, in former, the images could be generally discovered, but the images were seldom seen in the latter. This was nearly overlooked by the academia. Hence, we generate the logical starting point that there are distributions of different types of images of Hsi Wang - Mu in the paintings in Hart Dynasty tombs, and the phenomenon indicates that there are two different image systems in Han Dynasty, that is, the mainstream society＇s image system and the non -mainstream society＇ image system.
