Summary

Description
English: Fresco depicting Central Asians in a religious procession, probably a Buddhist ritual. Discovered in an ancient tomb at Tʻung-wan City, Shensi Province. The city was the capital of the state of Hsia (407–431) from 418 to 427 A.D.
日本語: この壁画墓は統万城遺跡の南約4キロの八大梁墓地にあり、入り口のレンガを取り除くと、土壁に柱やアーチ型の門が描かれ、彩色が施されていて、石窟の門のように作られていた。墓室の周囲の壁には三足烏の太陽と月の上で薬を引くウサギ、ヒツジ、人、樹木などが描かれていた。興味深いのは墓主が門の反対側の壁に描かれていたことで、簡単な建物と一緒に描かれていた。宮殿のようなドーム型の建物は、壁画墓の形とよく似ていた。 ケイ研究員は「この壁画は宗教的な意味合いが濃く、石窟寺院を模したような墓の構造と壁画は非常に珍しい。墓主は仏教徒とみられ、壁画に描かれた人物や動物の赤い唇が印象的だった」と述べた。( Source: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/xian_golden_bridge/20111220/1324371358
中文(繁體):中國陝西省匈奴故都統萬城的考古發現往往引起海內外注目,考古人員在硏究北朝時期(約距今1500年前)的墓葬壁畫時意外發現信奉拜火敎的中亞粟特人壁畫,為絲綢之路硏究提供關鍵資料。

統萬城位於陝西省靖邊縣城北58公里處的白城子村,是中國東晉時期南匈奴貴族赫連勃勃建立的大夏國都城。近年來,陝西省考古硏究院持續發掘古城遺址,出土了一批從北朝至北宋時期的文物。

陝西省考古硏究院統萬城遺址考古隊隊長邢福來說:「我們在北朝墓葬的淸理中發現了一批壁畫,它們包含的人物有佛敎徒,也有來自西域的粟特人。」

粟特人原是生活在中亞阿姆河與錫爾河一帶的古民族,從東漢時期到宋代,一直活躍在絲綢之路上,以擅長經商聞名於歐亞大陸。壁畫中的人物高鼻深目,尤其是拜火壇等拜火敎(即祆敎)物品的出現,都顯示出其中亞粟特人的身份。

邢福來說,經過多年的考古發現,統萬城在歷史上曾是絲綢之路北線上的重要城鎭。它處於黃河「几」字型內,西通河西走廊,東接山西大同,在鮮卑北魏時期地處要衝,佛敎、祆敎等僧侶及其文化也駐足於此,從而為今人留下豐富的絲路珍品。

史載,統萬城在大夏政權滅亡後,其作為北方重要城鎭,仍舊被西魏、北周、隋唐、五代等數個朝代延續使用。直到北宋初期,由於西北党項族勢力崛起,宋太宗下令把居民內遷到今天的綏德、米脂一帶,統萬城被焚燬,隨後消失在沙漠深處。800年後的淸朝道光時期,又重新被人發現。( Source: https://www.inform.kz/cn/article_a2676436
