民族艺术的现代探索:《格萨尔》唐卡的图像变迁

Modern Exploration of Ethnic Art: the Image Changes of Gesar Thangka

《格萨尔》唐卡是藏族唐卡艺术中的一种重要类型,被称为仲唐。伴随着《格萨尔》史诗的产生和流传,传统《格萨尔》唐卡经历了说唱现场悬挂到寺庙佛堂供奉的功能变迁,成为具有神圣性的宗教供奉品,在图像上表现为图式化的象征符号。20世纪80年代以来,在《格萨尔》说唱的抢救保护和《格萨尔》史诗文本的搜集整理过程中,《格萨尔》唐卡在功能上拓展为《格萨尔》史诗传播的重要载体。《格萨尔》唐卡图像在此过程中呈现出鲜明的世俗性和艺术性,成为藏族唐卡艺术现代探索的重要代表。

Gesar Thangka is an important type of Tibetan Thangka art,which is called Zongthang(仲唐).With the emergence and spread of the Gesar epic,the traditional Thangka of Gesar experiences the change of the function from being hung in the rap scene to being enshrined in the temple and the hall for worshiping the Buddha.It becomes a sacred religious offering,which is represented as a schema symbol in the image.Since the 1980s,in the process of rescuing Gesar s“rap”,collecting and sorting out the epic texts of Gesar,Gesar Thangka has become an important carrier of the dissemination of the Gesar epic in function.Meanwhile,the images of Gesar Thangka show the distinct secularity and artistry,becoming an important representative of modern exploration of Tibetan Thangka art.
