卓越的创造,感人的丰碑——论“昭陵六骏”的艺术成就

ON THE ARTISTIC ATTAINMENTS OF "ZHAOLING LIUJUN

昭陵“六骏”是大唐皇帝李世民陵墓列置北国司马门内两庑的浮雕,千百年来人们从它的社会价值和历史价值考究甚多,而对它的艺术价值研究甚少。“六骏”作为陵墓雕刻现实主义精神的发展,陵墓雕刻特有的艺术形式,在我国雕刻史上占有重要的地位。

Zhaoling Liujun(six steeds of the Zhaoling imperial tomb)', found in the northern side room of the tomb of Emperor Tang Taizong(Li Shimin)of the Tang Dynasty, is one of the most well-known reliefs in the ancient Chinese stone sculpture. For hundreds of years, researchers have made a very careful study of its social values as well as its historic values, whereas hardly any study has been made of its artistic values. 'Six Steeds', as an outstanding representative of realistic spirit of the stone sculpture in tombs-special artistic form, occupies an important place in the sculpture history of China.
