北魏薛怀吉墓志盖与石棺线刻图像研究

An Analysis to the Pictorial Line-Carved Epitaph-Cover and theStone-Coffin of Xue Huaiji’s Tomb of the Northern-Wei Dynasty

本文对北魏孝昌二年(526)薛怀吉墓出土墓志盖及石棺残存线刻图像进行了解读和复原。通过对北魏洛阳时代十四组墓志和十组石棺图像的内容与布局分析讨论,指出这些线刻图像题材最早且集中见于北魏洛阳时代晚期,具有鲜明的时代性;主体纹饰多为四神升仙图,偶见孝子故事;各类组合神兽等辅助纹饰在图像选择与形式设计上并无定式,大多装饰在次要位置,应当存在统一的“蓝本”供制作者取舍。

This thesis intensively reads to interpret the incomplete line-carved text remaining in the epitaph cover and sarcophagus of Xue Huaiji’s tomb of Xiaochang 2nd Year of the Northern-Wei Dynasty(526)by consulting 14 groups of epitaphs and 10 sets of pictorial stone coffins in content and format which are dated to Luoyang times of the Northern-Wei dynasty,summing up the following:this style of themed-line-carving comes out earliest and most in the Luoyang period of the Northern-Wei dynasty with the typical characteristics of that times;they mainly have‘Four Deities Ascending Immortal’as the motif with few‘Filial Son Story’;there is no limit in schema and design for the assisting patterns with groups of deities and creatures,with supporting decoration secondary in composition;there are models likely ready for users for reference.
