莫高窟五烽墩岩画及题刻文字初识

A Preliminary Study on the Rock Paintings and Inscriptions at the Wufengdun Site at Mogao

莫高窟窟区东南山头五烽墩东面约120m、坐西朝东的石崖上,存有单体岩画4幅,为3只鹿、1朵花,6方题刻文字。先前,孙毅华、吴军与刘艳燕等相继实地考察,对石刻题记作了录文并撰著公布,尚有缺漏。2020年8月,作者等先后两次上山考察,重新拍照、录文,予以完整刊布。岩画鹿的形象与北朝至唐莫高窟壁画中的造型颇为一致,是敦煌市境内首次发现的岩画;石刻题记的一些内容透露了晚唐归义军政权在李氏执政时期的重要线索,颇有研究价值。

On the east-facing cliff 120 meters to the east of Wufengdun the southeast hill top at Mogao,four cliff paintings depicting three deer and a flower can be seen,as well as six inscriptions.Previously,Sun Yihua,Wu Jun and Liu Yanyan,all staff of the Dunhuang Academy,successively investigated the site,recorded the stone inscriptions,and published papers about their findings.However,there were some words missing from their transcriptions.In August 2020,the authors of this paper returned to the site on two occasions in order to investigate,take photos and record the inscriptions,and are now ready to publicize the complete texts of the inscriptions.In addition,study of the deer images,which were the first rock paintings discovered in the Dunhuang region,finds them to be remarkably similar in style to cave murals dating from between the Northern Dynasties and the Tang dynasty.The stone inscriptions also provide important clues for understanding the Guiyijun regime ruled by the Li Family in the late Tang dynasty.
