西安出土隋墓驮囊醉翁形象身份补论

Supplementary Argument on the Prototype of Drunken Elder Figure on the Camel Figurines Unearthed from Tombs of the Sui Dynasty in Xi'an

西安隋墓出土数件在驮囊位置绘有“二人扶醉翁”艺术造型图案的陶骆驼。对此醉翁的身份,有希腊酒神狄奥尼索斯、赫拉克勒斯、西勒诺斯或萨提尔、古印度财神俱毗罗等说法,又以狄奥尼索斯和西勒诺斯两种说法为主。本文无意重述学界已有研究成果,而侧重于希腊酒神文化的东传、酒神形象和西勒诺斯形象在时间和空间上的演变,补充现有研究的欠缺之处,以肯定该醉翁的身份原型是西勒诺斯。

Among those pottery camels which were unearthed from tombs of the Sui dynasty in Xi'an,several of them painted with"two attendants holding the drunkard"on the bags.Regarding the identity of the drunkard,there are Dionysus the Greek god of wine,Heracles,Silenus or Satyr,and Kubera the god of wealth of ancient India,Dionysus and Silenus are the main ones.This study does not intend to restate the existing research results in the academic field,but focus on the eastward spread of Greek Dionysian culture and the evolution of figures of Dionysus and Silenus through time and space,and supplements the deficiencies of existing research to affirm the prototype of the drunkard is Silenus.
