汉代叙事性画像的故事渊源

The Origin of Narrative Portraits in the Han Dynasty

两汉思想界从宇宙论哲学出发,用阴阳五行理论贯通儒道,把超验的宇宙阐释为五方、五色、五味、五音等具体可感的视觉形象,建立了一个图像化生存的世界。考古发掘表明,汉代宫殿、府第、驿站、祠庙、墓葬等建筑均“雕文刻画”,汉人几乎把所感所触所想的物象全部以绘画形式呈现了出来。汉画遗存中有为数众多的叙事性画像,其故事来源或取诸神话传说,或取诸历史故事,或取诸现实生活,或取诸街谈巷语。探讨汉画像的图像故事渊源,对全面开展图像学研究,深入挖掘其所蕴含的宇宙观、生死观等,具有十分重要的意义。

Starting from cosmological philosophy,the ideological circle of the Han Dynasty interprets the transcendental universe into concrete visual images such as the five directions,the five colors,the five tastes,and the five tones,and establishes a pictorial world.Archaeological excavations show that palaces,palaces,post houses,shrines,tombs and other buildings of the Han Dynasty were"carved in glyphs",and almost all the objects that the Han people felt,touched and thought were presented in the form of paintings.There are a large number of narrative portraits in the remains of Han paintings,whose stories are derived from myths and legends,or historical stories,or real life,or street talk.It is of great significance to explore the origin of the image stories of Han Dynasty portraits for the comprehensive study of iconology and the in-depth exploration of the cosmology,life and death contained in them.
