“装饰霸道”——克孜尔第84窟佛传壁画释义二则

"Decoration Overwhelming"——Two Illustrations of Buddhist Murals in Cave 84 at Kizil Grottoes

德藏克孜尔第84窟系列壁画,许多主题不明。通过图像与经典的对读,可将其中持刃者辨识为"央掘摩罗",托钵持杖者辨识为"老婆罗门行乞"。壁画为两则佛传,分别讲述了一个凶徒和一个乞讨者的皈依。克孜尔石窟壁画常常间隔使用对比强烈的颜色,对当代图像志研究工作造成困扰,此现象可称为"装饰霸道"。

The series ofmurals of Cave 84 in Kizil Grottoes of Tibet are unknown. Images and classics can be read, in which the man handles knife can be identified as a ＂Angulimala＂, and the man handles stick and bowl identified as ＂the begging of the Brahman elder.＂ Murals are two Buddhist texts, each of which deals with the conversion of a murderer and a beggar.Murals in Kizil Grottoes often adopted the intense contrast of color at intervals that troubled the image of contemporary studies that this phenomenon can be called ＂decoration overwhelming.＂
