摘要
东千佛洞第2窟所呈现的涅槃经变,深刻反映出西夏时期对于生死观的独特理解.经过对窟内涅槃图像的剖析,发现窟主在创作过程中,特意选用了火焰纹以及孔雀、猴子等几种动物图像元素,体现出在密教影响下的涅槃思想.将"清信士"的图像融入涅槃经变的空间布局之中,并与窟内的现世救渡思想相互呼应,进一步展现出这一时期西夏信众往生净土的生死观念.东千佛洞第2窟的涅槃经变不仅为我们提供了珍贵的艺术遗产,更是揭示西夏社会文化、宗教信仰以及审美观念的重要图像反映.
Abstract
The Nirvana Sutra in Cave 2 of the East Thousand Buddha Cave deeply reflects the unique understanding of life and death in the Xixia period.After analyzing the images of Nirvana in the cave,it is found that in the process of creation,the master of the cave deliberately chose the flame pattern and several animal images such as peacocks and monkeys to reflect the idea of Nirvana under the influence of Tantric Buddhism.The image of"Qingxinshi"is integrated into the spatial layout of the Nirvana sutra and echoes the idea of salvation in the cave,further demonstrating the concept of life and death of the Xixia believers in the Pure Land during this period.The Nirvana Sutra in Cave 2 of the East Thousand Buddha Cave not only can provide us precious artistic heritage,but also can be an important image reflecting the social culture,reli-gious beliefs and aesthetic concepts of Xixia.
