汉画像中的日、月图像探微

On the Images of the Sun and the Moon in the Portraits of the Han Dynasty

日、月图像是汉代画像的重要内容之一,但其表现形式并不统一,多数研究只侧重日、月图像的某一方面,或者将其作为主要画面的组成部分来进行研究,虽较深刻,但缺少全面。在阴阳五行学说盛行的汉代,日、月作为阴、阳的主要代表出现在汉墓中,起到阴阳调和的作用,同时日、月与其他画面的组合又是墓主升仙的重要组成部分,日、月也表现了古代人民的天文观。

The image of the sun and the moon is one of the important contents in the portraits of the Han Dynasty,but the expression form is not unified.Most studies only focus on one aspect of the image of the sun and the moon,or take it as an integral part of the main picture.Although it is more profound,it is lack of comprehensiveness.In the Han Dynasty,when the theory of Yin(阴)and Yang(阳)and the five elements prevail,the sun and the moon appears in the Han Tombs as the main representatives of Yin and Yang,playing the role of reconciliation of Yin and Yang.At the same time,the combination of the sun,the moon and other pictures is an important part of the tomb owner's immortality promotion.The sun and the moon also express the astronomical outlook of the ancient people.
