墓葬“胡汉战争”叙事画像探析

Probe into Descriptive Tomb Portraits of the War Between the Hu People and the Han People

近些年,山东、河南等地出土了多幅"胡汉战争"画像石、画像砖,从画像叙事的角度看,人物、地点、事件叙事元素具备;从故事情节发展看,有的选取情节高潮快达到顶点的顷刻,有的选取情节高潮刚刚达到顶点后的顷刻,最富感染力。汉代先民在"视死如生,厚葬尽孝"的观念支配下,不惜资材,将"胡汉战争"故事画像刻画于墓壁,用意在于给死者以精神的慰藉,了却对死去亲人尽孝的心愿。

Recently,several descriptive tomb portraits of the war between the Hu and the Han have been unearthed in Henan and Shandong. From the perspective of portrait narration,there are enough elements of characters and also narration. Furthermore,from the perspective of the plot,some portraits choose the moment before the climax,while others choose the moment just after it,which are both very impressive. Motivated by the ideas of ＂seeing the dead as alive; an elaborate funeral reflecting the filial piety ＂,the Han people,spending a lot of money and materials,have drawn the story of the war between the Han people and the Hu people on the tomb walls to give the spiritual comfort to the deceased.
