古丝绸之路墓葬图像中的葡萄组合纹样演变

Evolution of Grape Combination Patterns in Tombs of Ancient Silk Road

葡萄组合纹样在魏晋隋唐时期除大量出现在织物和器物上,还可见于墓葬棺椁装饰中。葡萄纹自西向东沿丝绸之路传播过程中,在图案中与各种鸟兽组合,这些组合物既有流行于中古西亚、中亚异域民族喜好的动物,也有汉地民族喜闻之祥物,它们记载着文化艺术交流的进程。本文通过对近几十年古丝绸之路东段墓葬遗址中的葡萄图像组合元素的溯源,从葡萄种植和加工技术的东传考证,识读和分析该图像构成和寓意演变中粟特人充当的重要角色,认为葡萄组合纹样的汉化记录了粟特人汉化的过程。

Grape combination patterns were found in fabrics and utensils in the Wei-Jin and Sui-Tang Dynasties,but also in the decoration of coffins.In the process of spreading the grape patterns from west to east along theSilk Road,they were combined with various birds and beasts.These compositions had not only animals that were popular in Western Asia and Central Asia,but also the auspicious objects of the Han and Chinese people.They recorded the process ofcultural and artistic exchanges.Through the traceability of the grape image combination elements in the tombs of the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road in recent decades,this paper studies and analyses the important role of the Sogdian in the evolution of the image composition and implication from the textual research of the grape planting and processing technology,and holds that the Sinization of the grape combination patterns records the process of the Sinization ofthe Sogdian.
