吉美博物馆藏入华粟特人围屏石塌图像新考

A New Study on the Image of the Stone Collapse of Sogdians Introduced to China in the Guimet Museum Collection

本文将吉美博物馆藏入华粟特人围屏石塌与《万迪达德》《亚斯纳》《耶斯特》等《阿维斯陀》经文本进行分析,与同时期波斯、粟特、印度的本土文物和图像对比,从多元证据角度释读其图像内涵。吉美博物馆藏入华粟特人围屏石塌图像囊括了中亚、西亚、南亚与中原的文明内涵,所反映的丧葬信仰既受到萨珊波斯文化中“灵魂重生”的浪漫思想影响,也受到了琐罗亚斯德教中“死后审判”思辨思想的影响,两者矛盾却并存。

The Stone Collapse in the collection of the Guimei Museum in France is currently the most mysterious and least researched stone burial tool of the Sogdians in China.This article compares the image of the stone collapse relief with the Avista scriptures such as the Wandidad and Asht,and compares it with local cultural relics and images from Persia,Sogda,and India during the same period to determine the connotation of the image from a diverse perspective of evi-dence.The image of the collapse of the Sogdians stone screen in the Guimet Museum encompasses the cultural connotations of Central Asia,West Asia,South Asia,and Central Plains.The burial beliefs reflected are influenced by the romantic idea of"soul rebirth"in Sassanian Persian culture and the"judgment after death"Speculative thinking in Zoroastrianism,with contradictions coexisting.
