龙门石窟唐代歌伎造像的新认识

A new perspective of the geji statues of the Tang Dynasty in the Longmen Grottoes

龙门石窟有众多的唐代伎乐造像,形象表现为三种身份,其中舞伎和乐伎得到了一致的看法与认同,但有一种持长柄团扇人物身份没有明确的认知。本文通过调查龙门石窟现存此类6例造像,对其所处位置、表现形式、伎乐组合进行了分析研究,结合文献资料,认为其身份为歌伎造像,所持物长柄扇称为歌扇似更为妥贴。

There are many jiyue statues of the Tang Dynasty in the Longmen Grottoes.There are three kinds of identities,among which Maiko and music performers have been widely acknowledged.However,no conclusion had been drawn regarding the third type.Based on an investigation of six such statues in the Longmen Grottoes,the authors,by studying their locations,forms of expression and jiyue combination,conclude that their identities should have been singers.The long handled fan that they held should have been singer’s fans.
