试析舍身饲虎本生与睒子本生图像的对应组合关系——兼论麦积山第127窟功德主

An Analysis of Corresponding Relationship in Image Combination of the Illustrations of the Mahasattva Jātaka and the Syāmaka Jātaka——With a Discussion of the Donors of Cave 127 at the Maijishan Grottoes

佛教本生故事题材种类繁多,每类故事都有各自的特点和所要突出的佛教义理,作为"布施"和"孝道"类主题的代表,"舍身饲虎本生"和"睒子本生"在一些佛教石窟中同时出现并呈明显的对应组合关系。这并不是随意的拼凑和组合,而是有着深层的历史、宗教原因,且它们与洞窟里的其他佛教内容往往互相印证,形成一个有机的整体。以此进一步探讨麦积山第127窟功德主,更具说服力。

There is a great variety of Buddhist Jātaka tales, and each type has its own characteristics and Buddhist doctrines that require explanation. The Mahasattva Jātaka and the Syāmaka Jātaka are two images depicting＂alms-giving＂ and ＂filial piety＂ that appeared in the same cave as a pair and obviously exhibit a corresponding relationship, as shown by image combination, which could not have been coincidence. They were placed in the same cave for historical and religious reasons, and together with the other contents in the cave form an integrated whole. It would be much more accurate to further discuss the main donors of cave 127 at the Maijishan Grottoes on this basis.
