虞弘墓所谓“夫妇宴饮图”辨析

本文对虞弘墓图像中一幅学界一直认为是“夫妇宴饮图”的图像进行了辨析正名。作者列举了多件以“夫妇宴饮图”为主题的图像与虞弘墓这幅图像进行比对,通过男、女主人的排位原则考辨出虞墓图像的女主角不是虞弘夫人,又从其冠服特征、手持之物以及身旁二女伴的身份考定出她是一位天界神灵,即Daena女神。作者又进而指出,此幅图像的主题是表现墓主人灵魂进入天国后的美好情景。

An Analysis of the Mural Painting of the "Husband and Wife Banqueting" in the Tomb of Yu Hong

This article examines a painting from the tomb of Yu Hong that has been generally described by scholars as an illustration of a "husband and wife banqueting", but considers this illustration within the context of the narrative sequence of illustrations in the tomb, to conclude that the woman described as the "wife" in the scene with Yu Hong cannot be his wife. On the basis of the headdress and clothing of the female figure, as well as the object she is holding in her hands and the existence of two assistants, the author concludes that she must be the deity Daena. The author goes on to point out that the painting therefore depicts the paradise that awaits the tomb owner after the arrival of his soul in Heaven.
