摘要
一些汉代画像石上的胡人脸上有圆形图样,向来多认为是因黥刑而留下的印记。这种圆形类纹面不仅出现在中国北方戎狄,也见于伊朗系民族。匈奴可能吸收了早期游牧伊朗人的纹面文化,而且匈奴内部也有不少来自于中亚的伊朗系游牧民。所以,汉画像石上胡人的圆形纹面不一定是汉人所施予的黥记,而是一种欧亚草原民族的传统习俗。
There were circular brandings on the Hun’s face in some stone portraits in the Han Dynasty, which was generally thought to be branded marks. These marks were not only found among the Huns in the northern China but also among the Iranian nationality. The Huns might have absorbed the tattooed traditions of the early nomadic Iranians, besides, a great number of Huns also came from the Iranian nomads in the Central Asia. In conclusion, the circular marks on the faces of the Huns in the stone portraits might not be the face brandings for punishment, tattooed by the Han people but a traditional custom of the Eurasian steppe people.
