试论汉代石阙的起源与早期发展

Preliminary Study on the Origin and Early Development of Stone Que in the Han Dynastyg

石阙作为一种模型化建筑,其出现的时间可早至西汉晚期,源头或可追溯至西汉早中期墓前设立的楬、柱等物。通过对早期石阙的梳理,可见其在形态上有从柱形阙向仿木构形石阙发展的趋势。石阙的演化发展,是汉代丧葬制度逐渐松弛、踰制之风日益盛行的结果。

As a model building,the stone Que dates from as early as the late Western Han Dynasty,and its origins may be traced back to the Jie and pillars set up in front of tombs in the early to mid-Western Han.The combing of early stone Que reveals a tendency to develop from pillar-shaped queues to wooden building-shaped stone Que in terms of form.The evolution of the stone Que was the result of the Han dynasty’ s use of the tomb queue to show off their status and gain social status.
