试析合浦东汉三国墓中的莲花形器

Analysis of the Lotus-shaped Features in Tombs of the Eastern Han and Three-Kingdoms Periods in the Hepu Area

在合浦东汉晚期至三国时期的砖室墓中,有一种陶质莲花形器,此类器物因出土时扰乱严重,长期以来被当做随葬品看待,而且还被赋予了各种不同的称谓。本文通过文献记载及其自身形态的分析对比,提出此类器物应为构筑于墓顶的藻井模型。根据藻井在国内外的发现情况,认为藻井在合浦的出现,除了可能受到中原宫殿建筑及丧葬观念的影响之外,也不排除通过海上丝绸之路由西方直接传入合浦的可能。

This paper presents the analysis of lotus-shaped features that were attached to stem-shaped columns in brick-chambered tombs in Hepu dating to the Late Eastern Han and Three-Kingdoms periods.This paper suggests that such features might have been the model of zaojing in brick-chambered tombs.As a decorative motif that was commonly found in both the East and the West,the appearance of zaojing in Hepu indicates not only the influence from the traditional Chinese palace architecture and burial customs but also a case of cultural interaction between the East and the West that took place alone the maritime Silk Roads.
