略论汉代的麒麟形象

汉代的麒麟是以鹿科动物为主要原型,融合了马、牛、独角犀等兽的局部特征而塑造出的"混合体",而"独角戴肉"是其区别于其他神兽的最显著标志.     

实物、图像与文本:宋元时期的墓葬神煞

墓葬神煞泛指古人丧葬观念中墓葬内外各类吉凶神祗.中古时期墓葬神煞观念的流传通常有实物、图像、文本三种可视物质媒介,包括俑像、画像砖、壁画、葬书、文书、石刻等多种形式.宋元时期相同的神煞名目、相似的神煞形象,亦可分属于不同的观念系统乃至其他观念体系,从而被赋予了不同的含义.蕴含着差异与变异的墓葬神煞观念并非一以贯之的稳定系统,分析其所表现的连续与断裂、碰撞与调和、误解与再造,得到的是多重语境的观念史.     

巴蜀汉代石刻有翼神兽的羽翼造型及其影响因素

在巴蜀东汉画像石（砖）中,有龙类型翼兽、虎类型翼兽、马类型翼兽、鹿类型翼兽等带翼神兽,它们或单独出现,或组合出现,很大程度上展现了汉人的审美想象与造型能力。本文从考古类型学的角度对巴蜀有翼神兽的羽翼造型进行了类型分析,提出巴蜀汉代有翼神兽石刻画像的羽翼类型,有肩翼与飞翼两大类,并在此之下进一步划分出十余亚型。结合图像和文献的对比分析,可以看出巴蜀汉代有翼神兽受中外文化的双重影响,其中的尾背展亚型飞翼尤其体现了巴蜀汉代石匠在形象塑造方面的自主性与创新性。     

唐代墓田取吉穴葬法的初步研究

本文在对记载墓田吉穴的唐代墓志进行梳理的基础上,结合相关文献,探讨唐代实际流行的取吉穴的葬法。研究表明,唐人多据"六甲八卦冢"的原理取"四吉穴",并结合五姓所属有所偏向。此外还有其他取吉穴的葬法,总体反映了唐代民间葬俗的多样性。     

一面奇特的宝相花画纹带神兽镜

湖北省鄂州市是我国古代四大铸镜中心之一,因在汉、三国时期盛产铜镜而闻名国内外,其中尤以各种神兽镜最具当地文化特色。我们热爱中国统传文化,更酷爱研究,尤其对汉、三国时期的铜镜更是情有独钟。最近在与当地收藏家协会的交往中,发现了一面酷似神兽镜的铜镜,该镜圆形、圆钮、圆钮座,栉齿纹凸棱将纹饰分为内、外两区。内区对称四兽间以四个立体宝相花纹饰,外区十个方枚一周,每枚四字铭,铭义模糊难以辨认,十个半圆枚一周,半圆枚的立面饰莲瓣纹,其外为栉齿纹一周。由五龙拖舟、羽人驾舟、仙人奇马、神人捧月以及鸟、兽等组成画纹带,素缘。直径14.3cm、厚0.6cm。此镜品     

镇江年俗唱麒麟

正旧时春节,镇江城乡有"唱麒麟"贺喜气的风俗。"唱麒麟",又称"送麒麟""跳财神",起源于何时,难以考证,但由于人们历来视麒麟为吉祥神兽,主太平,送祥瑞,能给人们带来丰年、福禄、多子、财运、长寿与美好,所以千百年来,"唱麒麟"的习俗从未间断过。"唱麒麟"所用的麒麟,是用细竹子扎成,外糊五彩金纸,高约一米,长约一米半,通常固定在长条凳上或用竹架支撑,由"唱麒麟"艺人扛在肩上。麒麟从外形上     

安徽寿县汉墓铜翼兽及相关器物的年代探讨

战国时期有翼神兽从西方传入中国,汉代中国境内的有翼神兽造型器物逐渐增多,并沿着自己特有的演变轨迹,形成了从半匍匐状的龙变成行走状的辟邪的发展序列,但其中存在一些缺环寿县汉墓出土的有翼神兽造型器物,不仅弥补西汉早中期到东汉晚期翼兽形制演变的年代缺环,也为国内外几件馆藏铜翼兽形筒座的年代判断提供重要参考。     

徐州地区出土的三角缘神兽镜——兼论洛阳发现、日本爱知县东之宫古坟出土的同类镜

日本三角缘神兽镜是佐证大和王权成立的关键,它们的来源一直是中日两国有关学者研究的重点。近年有学者就洛阳发现的两面三角缘神兽镜提出洛阳地区乃日本三角缘神兽镜的溯源地。但是,早在十年前徐州地区已出土一面"三角缘框架式神人神兽镜",它更相似和更好于日本爱知县东之宫古坟出土的"三角缘铭带阶段式二神二兽镜",它实证了日本三角缘神兽镜和东汉流行的几类铜镜有密切关系,然而前者自成体系;同时,再次反证了洛阳地区不是其单一的溯源地。     

中日画纹带佛兽镜探秘 中日画纹带佛兽镜的同模镜考(一)

现在存世的画纹带佛兽镜,主要出土于日本古坟时代的墓葬中,其名称源自画纹带神兽镜,是日本考古学术界的重大研究课题。因中国没有这方面的出土发现报道,画纹带佛兽镜极少进入中国考古学术界的视野(图1)。把画纹带佛兽镜引入中国学术文博界的是王仲殊,他在上世纪80年代初就指出:"这些画纹带佛兽镜,就其整个形制和纹饰而言,和画纹带神兽镜是十分相似的,所以,所谓的画纹带佛兽镜是画纹带     

湖南永州市西汉墓出土铜镜

1988年4月,湖南省零陵地区文物工作队在永州市木材公司院内清理一座西汉墓,出土有五面铜镜,这是零陵地区出土铜镜最多的一座墓葬。神兽纹镜2面：l、规矩四神兽纹镜。四叶座,座基为双边线正方形,每边下方有两只神兽,神兽与镜缘间有一圈0．7厘米宽的林纹,素缘宽1．5厘米,略内倾。直径11．4厘米,厚0．4厘米,镜面略呈弧形,色黄而光亮。2、四乳神兽纹镜。圆纽四叶座,圆座基,四乳亦有圆座。每两乳之间是一龙或一虎,其中一龙的头下部铸有一工整的“王”字。直径13．l厘米,厚0．5厘米,平缘宽1．5厘米。铭文镜3面：l、昭明镜。乳纽圆…
