浅析海昏侯刘贺墓出土的“孔子衣镜”

The Simple Analyse of“Confucius Clothing Mirror”Unearthed in the Marquis of Haihun Liu He's Tomb

海昏侯刘贺墓出土的“孔子衣镜”备受关注。从其制作时间上看,“孔子衣镜”制作时间是刘贺被封海昏侯之后。因为只有这个时间,才满足“读过《史记》”、“有漆树”、“有专业手工者”、“有足够的时间”四个条件。当刘贺“身患痿疾”被封海昏侯后,面临着南方“卑湿”,“丈夫早夭”的威胁,以及汉宣帝的监视。而“孔子衣镜”正面的西王母、东王公等纹饰则指向刘贺对长寿长生的渴望。背面的儒家内容正是利用汉宣帝重法而轻儒的性格,假装崇儒而无抱负,以减少汉宣帝对自己猜忌,保证自己的生命安全。

The"Confucius dress mirror"unearthed from the tomb of Haihun Marquis liu has attracted much attention.In terms of its production time,the"Confucius Dress Mirror"was made after Liu He was conferred the title of Marquis Hunhun.Only this time can satisfy the four conditions of"having read the Historical Records","having sumac","having professional craftsmen"and"having enough time".When Liu He"suffering from impotence disease"was sealed to the sea and fainted,he was faced with the"low humidity"in the south,the threat of her husband's early death,and the surveillance of the Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty.The decorations on the front of"Confucius Dress Mirror",such as The Queen mother of the West and the Prince of the East,point to Liu He's desire for longevity.The Confucianist content on the back of Liu He takes advantage of emperor Xuan's character of valuing law over Confucianism,pretending to be a confucianist without ambition,so as to reduce emperor Xuan's suspicion of him and ensure his life safety.
