北朝墓葬陶俑的空间布局与视觉场景的营造

The Spatial Layout and Creation of Visual Scene of the Pottery Figurines in Northern Dynasties Tombs

在北朝的大中型墓葬中,陶俑是常见的一种陪葬明器,陶俑并不是墓主人生前生活的反映,而是在墓室里营造了一个空间与时间的叙事。北朝陶俑一般摆放在墓室棺椁与墓门之间以墓志为中心的位置,在墓志的左右两侧基本对称排列,再现了为死者送葬的盛大场面,营造了以墓志为中心的视觉场景。这个视觉场景延续了死者从出生到死亡之间的时间性,也开启了从死走向永生的旅程。

In the large and medium sized tombs of the Northern Dynasties, pottery figurine was a common kind of ancillary burial funerary object. The figurines created a special narrative of space and time in the tomb, rather than reflected the owner's previous life. They were usually placed in the center point between the coffin and the door,symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the tombstone. Taking the tombstone as its center, the whole layout has recreated the grand scene of the burial of the deceased. This visual scene presented the temporality of secular life, between birth and death, and started a new journey for the deceased, from death to immortality.
