山东莒县小店镇大岭顶东汉画像石墓清理简报

Brief Report on the Eastern Han Pictorial Stone Tombs at Dalingding in Xiaodian,Juxian,Shandong Province

大岭顶两座画像石墓位于山东省日照市莒县小店镇,共发现画像石13块,画像内容以龙虎为多,其次为伏羲、女娲、门吏、宴饮等。画面组合场景十分独特,为汉画像石和莒地汉文化提供了新的材料。一号墓的一块画像石带有“和平二年”题记66字,墓主陈季高不见于文献记载。汉桓帝和平年号仅用一年(150年),题记中出现“和平二年”,应是交通不便、信息闭塞所致,题记雕刻和下葬时间应在改元元嘉之后不久,即元嘉元年(151年)初。大岭顶汉画题记对汉代社会和书法史的研究有重要意义。

The two pictorial stone tombs discovered at Dalingding in Xiaodian,Juxian,Rizhao,Shandong province contain a total of 13 pictorial stones.The predominant themes depicted on these stones are dragons and tigers,followed by depictions of Fuxi,Nüwa,gatekeepers,and feasting scenes.The depicted scenes are highly unique,providing new material for the study of Han pictorial stones and the Han culture in Juxian.One of the stones in Tomb 1 bears a 66-character inscription dated“Second Year of Heping”.The tomb’s occupant,Chen Jigao,is not mentioned in historical documents.The“Heping”title during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty lasted only one year(150 AD).The appearance of“the Second Year of Heping”in the inscription may have been incorrectly documented due to information isolation at the time.The carving and burial likely occurred shortly after the reign era changed to Yuanjia,specifically in the early first year of Yuanjia(151 AD).The inscription on the pictorial stones from Dalingding is of great significance to the study of Han society and calligraphy history.
