敦煌壁画绘小型玻璃器研究:丝绸之路上玻璃东传过程中的佛教化演变

Research on the glassware appeared in Dunhuang frescoes——The evolution of Buddhism in the process of the eastward Transmission of the glassware on the Silk Road

玻璃器研究对丝绸之路贸易有着重要意义,但由于玻璃属于易碎品,因此所存留下来中原出土玻璃器寥寥,而目前海内外所存的敦煌壁画、帛画中绘制了大量玻璃器皿却未引起关注,特别是没有直接参加丝绸之路贸易的日本地区却保藏了大量隋唐玻璃器,对研究隋唐中原玻璃贸易具有重要研究价值。本文将结合现在东亚地区(包括中国、韩国、日本)出土的玻璃实物研究成果,对海内外所藏敦煌壁画、帛画中小型玻璃器图像进行分类、分析与溯源,并与东亚出土实物进行比对,最终归纳出其在东传过程中的佛教化演变,其结论能对于更全面研究丝路玻璃器贸易、使用情况等研究提供有价值的参考。

Ancient glassware unearthed along the Silk Road is of great significance for the research of trade along the Silk Road. But as glassware is fragile, few is preserved. A number of glassware appeared in Dunhuang frescoes and silk paintings existing at home and abroad have not drawn public attention. In particular, Japanwhich has not directly participated in the Silk Road trade, has preserved a large number of glassware of Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is of great value to the study of the glass trade in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.The article is based on the existing research results of glassware unearthed in East Asia(including China, Korea and Japan), classifies, analyzes, traces the source of the images of small glassware in Dunhuang frescoes and silk paintings reserved at home and abroad, compares the images to the glassware unearthed in East Asia, and concludes the Buddhist evolution during its spread eastward. The conclusions of the research may provide valuable reference to the comprehensive study of glassware trade and use of glassware along the Silk Road.
