邢台地区塔式罐研究

A Research on Pagoda-shaped Jars in Xingtai Region

塔式罐是受佛教影响变造原有器物而产生的,是地面浮屠的缩影,这可以在众多墓葬壁画、浮雕以及陪葬器物上找到印记。它的产生旨在为死者构建一个继续礼佛的场所,是墓主人宗教信仰的象征。塔式罐作为随葬明器,在唐墓中多有发现,河北地区尤其是邢台及其周边地区所见的塔式罐类型最为丰富,装饰形式多样,且沿用时间最长。本文结合原库藏品以及新近发现的十余套器物,对邢台地区塔式罐进行系统整理,在此基础上对当地塔式罐的发展进行分期研究。发现邢台地区塔式罐出现于盛唐时期,兴盛于晚唐五代,至北宋进入鼎盛,北宋末、金及其以后由于战争,最终走向衰微。结合以上分析,进一步探讨塔式罐流行的社会因素。

Influenced by Buddhism, pagoda-shaped jars are the transmutation of original objects and the epitome of ground pagodas, which could be traced from the murals, reliefs and funeral articles in many tombs. They are generated to establish a place for the tomb occupant to continue and symbolize his （her） religious faith. As the funerary objects, they were mostly found in Tang dynasty tombs in Hebei province. Jars in Xingtai and its surrounding areas are known for their abundant types, various decorative patterns and the longest duration. Combining the original collections and ten sets of newly discovered objects, the paper makes a systemized arrangement and research by stages on the pagoda-shaped jars in Xingtai region. It can be concluded that the pagoda-shaped jars appeared in the flourishing Tang dynasty, thrived in the late Tang dynasty and the Five Dynasties, culminated in Northern Song and finally declined after that because of wars. On the basis of the above, the paper tries to make a further exploration on the social factors about the popularity of pagoda-shaped jars.
