元代景德镇窑青白瓷佛像研究

Studies on Qingbai Porcelains Buddha Statue Made in Jingdezhen Kilns in Yuan Dynasty

青白瓷佛像是元代景德镇窑制瓷业的一个重要进步。在当时蒙古人统治的历史及宗教之大背景下,元代大型瓷塑佛像突然且短暂出现的原因是本文所关注的,笔者认为这些令人惊叹的瓷塑佛像的生产直接受惠于蒙古人对藏传佛教的信仰和对景德镇窑厂的赞助,同时这些瓷佛像也在元代宫廷的藏传佛教的仪式和典礼中被使用。

The production of Buddhist figures in qingbai porcelain was a significant development at the Jingdezhen kilns during the Yuan Dynasty. This paper investigates the sudden and short-lived appearance of large porcelain Buddhist sculptures in China under Mongol rule and places it in the historical and religious context of the time. It will be argued that the manufacture of these impressive Buddhist sculptures was a direct result of Mongol patronage of Tibetan Buddhism and the Jingdezhen kilns and that porcelain Buddhist images were used for Tibetan Buddhist rituals and ceremonies at the Yuan imperial court.
