再谈成任墓地出土立佛像的时代与早期金铜佛像的断代研究

On the Dating of Early Gilded Bronze Buddhist Figurines and the Buddha Figurine from the Chengren Cemetery

2021年咸阳市东汉成任墓地中出土了两尊小型青铜佛像,材料报道后国内外学界有不同看法,一些学者认为是十六国时期造像,因该墓早年被盗而混进墓室。本文在系统收集早期金铜佛像材料和对分析方法进行反思的基础上,讨论了与成任村出土青铜立佛像断代最有关系的三组例证及其年代关系,认为此像从艺术风格看确属东汉晚期。

The discovery of two bronze Buddha figurines in an Eastern-Han tomb at the Chengren Cemetery in 2021 has sparked significant scholarly attention and ongoing debate.Notably,several scholars suggested that they belong to the Sixteen Kingdoms period as later intrusions.This article provides an in-depth examination of the debate through a systematic collection of early gilded bronze figurines and critical analysis of the research methodologies employed.By comparing three other key examples related to the two bronze figurines and the chronological relationships of the dataset,the author argues that the artistic style of the figurines does support a late Eastern Han period dating.
