摘要:
敦煌莫高窟唐至五代时期的毗沙门天王造像中,交叉束带式圆护胸甲以其独特的形制与文化象征成为丝路文明交融的重要物证。从服饰史视角切入,通过图像学分析、跨地域比较与文献考证,系统梳理该护具从地中海军事装备到佛教护法符号的演变脉络,揭示其形制结构、传播路径及文化转译机制。研究发现,该护具在丝绸之路物质文化交流中经历了“功能、符号、意义”三重维度的动态转译:功能上从实战防护转向宗教威慑,符号上通过本土化重构融合东西方装饰母题,意义上则伴随佩戴载体的身份嬗变而不断丰富。这一案例不仅展现了跨文明互动中“接纳—适应—创新”的共生逻辑,也为敦煌艺术与丝路文化交流研究提供了新视角。
Abstract:
X-shaped banded circular breast armor worn by Vaisravana statues from the Middle Tang to the Five Dynasties period in the Dunhuang Mogao Caves, with its unique form and cultural symbolism, serves as a significant material testimony to the integration of civilizations along the Silk Road. This study, grounded in the perspective of costume history, systematically traces the evolutionary trajectory of this armor from its origins as Mediterranean military equipment to its transformation into a Buddhist protective symbol through iconographic analysis, cross-regional comparisons, and textual research. It reveals the structural features, transmission pathways, and mechanisms of cultural transmutation of the armor. The findings demonstrate that the breast armor underwent dynamic transmutation across the "function-symbol-meaning" tripartite dimensions during material cultural exchanges along the Silk Road: functionally shifting from battlefield protection to religious deterrence, symbolically integrating Eastern and Western decorative motifs through localized reconstruction, and semantically enriching itself alongside the evolving identities of its wearers. This case not only exemplifies the symbiotic logic of "acceptance-adaptation-innovation" in cross-civilizational interactions but also provides a novel research perspective for studies on Dunhuang art and Silk Road cultural exchange.
