摘要
山西大同出土的四例平城人面镇墓兽均呈现"颔首低头"的姿态,与北魏迁都洛阳后的"昂首抬头"型镇墓兽相比较为特殊。文章从此四例人面镇墓兽的胡人面容和头顶凸起物出发,通过风格学、图像学的方法探究其来源和象征。研究发现这些特征或多或少都与"引魂升天"产生了一些联系。而这四尊人面镇墓兽的"颔首"姿态或许也代表了一种臣服的意味,象征服侍墓主人,助其灵魂升天。
The four cases of The Human Face Tomb Guardian Beasts unearthed in Datong Shanxi in Pingcheng period all showed a"nod and bowed head"posture,which is more special than the"head up"type tomb beasts that appeared after the Northern Wei regime moved to Luoyang.The article starts from the Huren's face and the protrusions on the head of Human Face Tomb Guardian Beasts,explores the origin and symbols through the methods of stylistics and iconology.These features more or less make them related to"lead the soul to the sky."And the four Human Face Tomb Beasts'"nod-headed"posture may represent a meaning of surrender,a symbol of serving the owner of the tomb and helping his soul ascend to heaven.
