略谈中原北方五代墓葬

A Brief Discussion on Tombs of Five Dynasties on Northern Central Plains

中原北方五代墓葬可分为多室墓、单室砖(石)墓、单室土洞墓三类。代表了等级和身份的差别。大型墓葬的重要变化是增加了伎乐舞蹈等生活场景的分量,尤其是雕砖的出现,改变了唐代以来传统的平面绘画装饰方式。洛阳地区的五代圆形墓可能源自朝阳地区,且装饰已与北宋早中期圆形墓近同。中原北方五代墓葬具有承上启下的作用,为宋代仿木构砖雕壁画墓的繁荣做了准备。

Tombs dating back to Five Dynasties found on the northern Central Plains fall into three categories,i.e.multi-chambered tomb,single brick/stone-chambered tomb,and single-chambered shaft tomb.Different categories reflect varied classes,social status and identities.A major change in large-scale tombs is that scenes of daily life,including music and dance performing,appeared more.Carved bricks changed traditional painted decorations that had been passed down since Tang Dynasty.The round tombs of Five Dynasties discovered in Luoyang,inside which the decorations have been found similar to those in the round tombs built during early and middle Northern Song,might find their origin in Chaoyang district.These tombs dating back to Five Dynasties found on the northern Central Plains can be regarded as a connecting link between the preceding and the following as they predicted the trend and popularity of brickchambered mural tombs,whose structure and interior decorations imitated their wooden counterparts,in Song Dynasty.
