回鹘王室儿童供养人及其服饰研究

A Study on the Clothing Worn by Royal Uighur Children in Cave Paintings

本文对敦煌石窟和新疆石窟中的回鹘王室儿童的排列规律、身份及其服饰特征做了全面考察,总结出三个主要特点:一、回鹘儿童多排列于父母供养像的前面,绝大多数作回首状,以此与身后的父母形成呼应关系;二、除幼童外,回鹘儿童的头冠和服饰基本与父母保持一致,男童类同父亲,女童类同母亲;三、回鹘儿童多额前梳刘海,耳前留一绺头发。

By comprehensively analyzing the order of arrangement,identities,and clothing of the children of the Uighur royal family painted in artworks at both Dunhuang and Xinjiang caves,this paper summarizes three main features of these illustrations:(1)The Uighur children are often arranged in front of their parents,and many children are looking backward towards their elders,which forms an interactive relationship between them.(2)Except for the toddlers,the headwear and costumes of the children are basically consistent with those of their parents:the boys are adorned similarly to their fathers,while the girls are like their mothers.(3)Many of the Uighur children have bangs over their foreheads and a strand of hair in front of their ears.
