汉代壁画中“羊酒”考——从汉画中的“日月”榜题谈起

Research on"Goat Liquor"in Han Dynasty Murals:Discussion from the Inscription of"Sun and Moon"in Han Dynasty Murals

依据“日月”榜题画像,可知河北望都壁画中的榜题“羊酒”是指“羊”和“酒”两个不同物品。由于“羊”与“酒”在“美”“延年益寿”两方面有共性,故以“羊酒”合称;又因“羊”和“酒”在汉代文献中习惯称之“羊酒”而非“酒羊”,故而榜题以上“羊”下“酒”形式呈现。壁画中的“羊酒”有“延年益寿”“升仙不死”“永葆幸福”的象征意义。

According to the portrait with the inscription of"Sun and Moon",the inscription of"Goat Liquor"in murals in Wangdu County,Hebei Province refers to two different items,"goat"and"liquor".Because"goat"and"liquor"have similarities in terms of"beauty"and"longevity",they were collectively referred to as"goat liquor";and because"goat"and"liquor"were customarily called"Goat Liquor"instead of"Liquor Goat"in Han Dynasty literature,the inscription was always in the form of"goat"before"liquor".The"Goat Liquor"in the murals has the symbolic meanings of"longevity","immortality"and"everlasting happiness".
