作为文化叙事的墓室壁画——论《中国丝绸之路上的墓室壁画》中的交流

Tomb Murals as Cultural Narratives: on the Exchange in Tomb Murals along Chinese Silk Road

本丛书旨在揭示在两年多年前文化交流过程中,文化如何通过图墓室壁画这种特殊的艺术形式建构其叙事体系。汪小洋教授在丛书总论中探讨本土文化与外来文化之间的互动与交流,并指出二者之间在墓室壁画中的结构性叙事特征。本丛书其他各部均以展示文化交流为主旨,力图以种"内"比较的视野,即借助于具体的墓室形制、壁画题材与内容,对丝绸之路上的墓室壁画进行不同层面的阐释性比较,从而揭示出不同性质的文化在不同地域墓室壁画中的对应互动与叙事。对于一带一路研究,同时对于墓室壁画研究而言,这种注重文化交流与互动层面的深度图像阐释模式无疑具有不可忽略的价值。

Tomb Murals along Chinese Silk Road reveals how culture constructed its narrative system with tomb murals as its special artistic form during the cultural exchanges more than 2,000 years ago. Prof. WANG explored the interaction and exchange between the local culture and foreign culture and pointed out their narrative features demonstrated in the structure of tomb murals. Other parts in this series of books are all subjected with cultural exchange from an "inward"vision of comparison,that is,they offer an interpretative comparison of tomb murals in different layers along the Silk Road to reveal the corresponding interactions and narratives of different cultures in different tomb murals. This interpretation mode highlighting cultural communication and interaction is no doubt of great value with deep analyses of images that cannot be ignored.
