隋开皇四年董钦造像再识

Re-study on Dong Qin’s statues with date of the fourth year in Kaihuang reign,the Sui Dynasty

西安博物院藏董钦造像铭文中的“武强县”位于河北,“弥陀像”是河北地区造像发愿文的习惯用语,造像具有浓厚的北齐造像风格,与长安地区北周至隋代的造像传统有较大差异,而与河北地区金铜造像有密切渊源关系。因此推测该造像可能是河北地区制作,在造像主董钦调任长安时将其带到了长安。董钦造像的流传是北朝长安受到东部文化和技术影响的缩影。

The inscription“Wuqiang County”on the Dong Qin statue in the Xi’an Museum is located in Hebei,and“Maitreya statue”is the customary term used for statue vows in Hebei,which has a strong Northern Qi style and are different from the tradition in Chang’an from the Northern Zhou to the Sui Dynasty,but is closely related to the gold and bronze statues of Hebei.It could be assumed that the statues may had been made in Hebei and brought to Chang’an by its owner,Dong Qin,when he was appointed to Chang’an.The spread route of these statues is a mini reflection that cultures and techniques of Chang’an once were influenced by those in the the eastern area during the Northern Dynasties.
