摘要
西旁景教寺院遗址位于新疆吐鲁番高昌区葡萄沟街道达甫散盖社区北面的一座山岗上,介于葡萄沟与桃儿沟之间的火焰山西端南麓,建于一座高约20米的山丘上(图一)。该遗址自清末以来曾遭受德、俄探险家及当地人的多次盗掘,其中一次为德国第二支吐鲁番考察队于1905年6月的盗掘活动。
The Xipang(also known as Shuipang)Jingjiao Monastery site is situated atop a hill at the southern base of Flaming Mountain in Turpan,Xinjiang.The architectural remnants are categorized into two main sections:the primary buildings at the hill's summit and the auxiliary structures on its slopes.The archaeological excavations conducted in 2021 essentially completed a comprehensive exposure of the buildings in the hilltop area,revealing 13 room foundations,four walls,two platforms,two passageways,and one brick-paved area.In terms of layout,the structures can be categorized into four groups:three groups arranged approximately side by side from north to south in an east-west orientation,and a group of architectural remains situated to the west of these three groups.The architectural remainsshowcomplexsignsof extensive repairs,alterations,additions,and reconstructions.The three north-south aligned groups of buildings have generally similar structures:small chambers in the east,and larger halls in the center and west.Based on the internal structures of the buildings and the artifacts found,their potential uses can be preliminarily inferred to include a ceremonial hall,wine cellar,kitchen,bedroom,library,and restroom.The artifacts uncovered at the site encompass over a thousand significant items,including an extensive collection of manuscripts in languages such as Chinese,Syriac,Uyghur,and Sogdian,as well as fragments of mural paintings and a variety of important artifacts made from pottery,wood,copper,iron,and textiles.Additionally,there are numerous general artifacts,remnants,and preserved plant remains.
