扬州地区汉代画像木椁墓研究

Research on the Han Dynasty Painted Wooden Coffins in the Yangzhou Region

画像木椁墓是指墓室隔板或顶板雕刻、彩绘有图像的竖穴木椁墓,主要分布于扬州及其周边地区,图像题材主要为穿璧纹、天象图、建筑、人物及历史故事。画像木椁墓流行的时段恰好是墓葬形制由竖穴墓向横穴室墓转变的时期,反映出模仿地上建筑的意图,可以算作墓葬形制转变过程中的一种特殊尝试。扬州地区画像木椁墓的源头主要来自鲁南苏北地区的画像石椁墓,之所以传播到扬州附近,可能是因为淮泗流域地方官吏按照要求异地就近做官而造成的文化传递。

Painted wooden coffin tombs refer to vertical shaft wooden coffin tombs with carved and painted images on the partition or ceiling of the tomb chamber.They are mainly found in Yangzhou and surrounding areas,with image themes including jade disc patterns,celestial maps,architecture,figures,and historical stories.The period when painted wooden coffin tombs were popular coincided with the transition of tomb burial forms from vertical shaft tombs to chamber tombs.Including door and window structures and image themes in these tombs reflects an intention to mimic above-ground architecture,representing a special attempt during the transition of tomb burial forms.The origins of painted wooden coffin tombs in the Yangzhou region mainly stem from stone coffin tombs with curved images in the southern Shandong and northern Jiangsu regions.The spread to the vicinity of Yangzhou may have been due to cultural transmission caused by local officials in the Huaisi regions taking up positions in distant areas as required.
