"Wearing Rooster Crown,Pig-shaped Ornaments"and"Confucian costume":the Image of Zilu in Han Dynasty Tomb Images and Its Significance
Zilu is one of the disciples of Confucius.In the tomb images of the Han Dynasty,Zilu mostly appeared in"Confucius met with Laozi",as well as in other images related to Confucius.His images were separate feet,two flying sleeves,and presented a frontal image.When there were few disciples,Zilu was often listed in the third or fourth place among them.According to the attire,there can be seen two images of"wearing rooster crown,pig-shaped ornaments"and"Confucian costume",which respectively represent the image of a warrior who did not conform to the Confucian norms,and the image of Confucian student who was"dress appropriately"after being taught by Confucius.This reflects the transformation of Zilu's image before and after receiving the Confucian etiquette education.In addition,there are images of Zilu in Han Dynasty tombs that have nothing to do with Confucius,giving rise to new meanings of divinity.
