山东滕州新发现佛教内容汉画像石的初步研究

The Preliminarv Research on the Buddhism Content Carving on the Han Stone Relief Newly Found in Tengzhou Shandong

山东滕州汉画像石馆藏有一块疑似早期佛教内容的汉画像石。本文通过对其图像志的分析,结合山东地区其他汉画像材料,并将其放置在汉代佛教初传中国的视野中,将其初步定为"胡人礼佛"题材的汉画像石。这一图像与同时期犍陀罗美术中"梵天劝请"佛传故事图像形成可供对比研究的序列,代表了早期佛教与中国本土神仙信仰和儒家信仰在鲁南地区的碰撞和融合,对研究早期佛教艺术在中国的发展具有重要意义。

The museum of stone relief of Han Dynasty in Tengzhou has exhibited a stone, whose context is suspected on early Buddhism. Through the analysis of its iconography with other stones in Shandong, this article issues that the motif of the stone is on the worship of Buddhism of Hu people at Han Dynasty in the view of early spreading of Buddhism in China. The motif of this stone is similar with the story of Indra and Barhma entreat the Buddha to preach in early Gandhara art, presenting the collision and fusion of native Taoist faith, Confucianism and Buddhism in south of Shandong. This is valuable to study early development of Buddhist art in China.
