内容摘要:本文是作者在“敦煌莫高窟专题研讨会”上的总结发言。作为考古学者,他认为现有的考古证据表明,莫高窟在结构、功能上,与印度及中国新疆石窟有所不同,但是与中原豪强多墓室的墓葬壁画更为相似。在这一点上,作者赞同与会学者沙尔夫教授与索尼娅·李及汪悦进等人的观点:即便是非常明显的叙事性壁画,其彩绘装饰也不一定是说教性的;敦煌莫高窟的造像本质上是用来自我表现的,与汉代墓室中的壁画装饰非常相似。

Abstract: This paper presents the concluding remarks spoken by the author of“Cave Temples at Dunhuang: History, Art and Materiality.”As an archaeologist, the author regards that throughout its recorded history Dunhuang remained the westernmost instance of a full-fledged, mainstream Han-Chinese community. In accord with Professor Scharfs thinking, the Mogao Grottoes site can thus be understood to more closely resemble the multi-chambered tombs of the elite that emerged in the Chinese heartland during the Han period, the planning and building techniques of which would be used under subsequent dynasties for centuries. The author agrees with Professor Sonya Lee and Professor Eugene Wangs ideas that the painted decoration, even when ostensibly narrative, was not necessarily meant to be didactic, and especially with Professor Wangs idea that the iconography was essentially designed to perform itself, very much in parallel with the painted décor of Chinese chamber tombs.

首先,我要表达能有机会参与组织这一令人难忘的研讨会而喜悦的心情。在过去的两天里,从会议上发表的各种论文中,我已学到很多东西。这些演讲使我们对盖蒂中心举办的这一盛大展览有了更深刻的理解。近年来,我们在洛杉矶很少有机会观看与中国艺术及文化相关的一流展览,因此非常感谢盖蒂中心让我们分享他们与敦煌研究院数十年成功合作的成果。我想我可以代表在座的每个人说,我们希望,这种合作在无尽的未来继续蓬勃发展。

当然,我不是敦煌学专家,但是我觉得我很幸运,在敦煌研究院七十多年的历史中,我曾分别见过敦煌研究院(其前身为国立敦煌艺术研究所、敦煌文物研究所)的四位院长。为了给子孙后代传承敦煌无与伦比的财富,他们四位非凡的人物都曾在极端艰苦的条件下努力工作。……
