东周秦汉时期骆驼题材文物初步研究

A Preliminary Study of the Camel-themed Cultural Relics in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty

本文在广泛梳理东周秦汉时期骆驼题材文物类别与时空分布的基础上,认为骆驼题材文物的出现年代、分布范围和造型风格具有显著的时代与地域特征。骆驼题材文物在内地的出现和发展,深受我国北方人群的影响,显示出较为活跃的农牧互动。秦始皇帝陵陵西大墓M1新发现的单体金、银骆驼塑像写实逼真的艺术形式,是我国骆驼题材文物中的特例,但在中亚、西亚艺术品中有迹可循,它可能是舶来品,也可能是在西方艺术影响之下本土创造的。

Based on an extensive analysis of the categories and temporal-spatial distribution of camel-themed cultural relics during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty,Qin Dynasty,and Han Dynasty,this paper concluded that their time of appearance,distribution range,and categories displah significant chronological and regional characteristics.It is surmised that the appearance and development of the camel-themed cultural relics in the inland region was deeply influenced by communities from the northern steppe region,showing a relatively active interaction between the agriculture and animal husbandry populations.The realistic artistic style of gold and silver camels unearthed from QLCM1 of the Emperor Qin Shihuang’s Mausoleum are an exceptional example in the camel-themed cultural relics that were found in ancient China.This paper also identifies clues showing their connection with the artworks of Central and West Asia.The gold and silver camels may have been imported products,or produced locally under the influence of Western art.
