贡嘎曲德寺“三牛抬杠”壁画再探讨

Further Discussion on the Farming Fresco of Three Cattle Carrying a Horizontal Bar in Gongga Qude Monastery

基于对文献的分析研究,本文认为:贡嘎曲德寺壁画“二牛抬杠”图命名不妥,应命名为“三牛抬杠”图更为确切。基于藏族地区的牛耕图像及系驾法,作者认为该“三牛抬杠”图与牛耕场景无关,可能的情形是到集市售牛途中路过农田,或者踩踏、镇压谷物幼苗进而起到保墒、促苗生长的作用。

ccording to the relevant researches,this paper maintains the fresco of Two Cattle Carrying a Horizontal Bar was not properly named and it should be called Three Cattle Carrying a Horizontal Bar.Based on the cattle farming images and harness system of ploughing,it is considered that the fresco has nothing to do with the cattle farming,and the possible situation is about passing through the farmland on the way to the market to sell cattle,or treading on the grain seedlings to preserve the soil moisture and promote the seedlings growth.
