【摘要】：通过对比相关考古材料并联系当时文献材料,成都博物馆展出的出土于金堂李家梁子东汉晚期墓M23的胡人持莲石座,应该是一件与早期佛教有关的遗物。东汉墓葬,尤其是四川地区东汉晚期墓葬中,已有不少受早期佛教影响而出现的新因素,其中就包括胡人和莲花的图像。虽然仅凭胡人或者莲花,都不能明确认定与早期佛教相关,但将二者结合表现,其可能性就大为增加了。根据其形制,再对比相关材料,推测这件胡人持莲石座的功能,应为托棺的棺座或棺侧的帷帐座。西域胡人手持莲花的题材,或许正是文献中记载的早期佛教传播者表演的"手生莲花"的西域魔术。该题材反映出早期佛教在传播中,并不以精深的义理取胜,而是附庸于本土信仰,利用西域方术(魔术)进行传播的内涵,以达到初步植根于中土的目的;也表现出早期佛教与本土丧葬中神仙信仰,尤其是关于西方的神仙信仰相结合的情况。
[Abstract]:By comparing the relevant archaeological materials and connecting with the literature at that time, the Hulian stone, unearthed from the tomb M23 of Li Liangzi in Jintang, is supposed to be a relics related to early Buddhism. The tombs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, especially in the late period of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Sichuan region, have been influenced by early Buddhism, including the images of Hu people and lotus flowers. Although neither the Huren nor the lotus can be clearly identified as related to early Buddhism, the possibility of combining the two increases greatly. According to its shape and relative materials, it is inferred that the function of the Hu people holding lotus stone should be the saddle of the coffin or the curtain of the side of the coffin. The theme of the Huren holding lotus in the Western region may be the "hand-born lotus" magic performed by the early Buddhist propagandists in the literature. The theme reflects that the early Buddhism did not win by profound righteousness, but subservient to the local faith, using the magic of the Western region to spread the connotation, so as to achieve the goal of taking root in the middle land. It also shows the combination of early Buddhism and immortals in local funerals, especially in the West.
