The unearthed tomb murals are an important part of Chinese culture,is a precious cultural heritage of the Chinese nation,Reflects the life scenes of ancient Chinese society to a certain extent。The Liao Dynasty extended from the late Tang and Five Dynasties to the Song Dynasty,Probably coexisted with the Northern Song Dynasty,Tomb culture has the characteristics of ethnic integration。Among them,There is a mutually supporting relationship between images of women and ancient classics,Can fill nj bet365 literature details,Record specific life scenes,Shows the blending of ethnic groups during the Liao and Song Dynasties,It also illuminates the common life philosophy and value pursuits among all ethnic groups in China。

First,Liao tomb murals reproduce the image of the Queen Mother of the West in classics,Showing the shared characteristics of Chinese culture。The Queen Mother of the West in ancient Chinese classics、The existence and generation of female images with both mythological and historical value, such as the Goddess of Luoshui、The historical process of rheology。Like the mythical figure Queen Mother of the West,It was not until the Tang and Song Dynasties that the image of a noble lady was implemented,Completed the transformation from God to man,This can be confirmed nj bet365 murals unearthed from Liao tombs。

The image of the Queen Mother of the West was first seen in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas",For tiger teeth and leopard tail、The half-orc image of a shaggy hoopoe,Since then, it has gradually evolved into a human image,This is confirmed nj bet365 classics and murals of the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties。After Tang and Song Dynasties,The Queen Mother of the West further evolves into the image of a noble lady at the textual level,For example, in "The Queen Mother's Song" by Li Qi of the Tang Dynasty, "Wear a nine-star crown on your head",The general leader Yutong sits facing the south";Song Mifu's "Xinglian Xing" "The Queen Mother came to Yaochi for the first time",Blushing and getting drunker。Three thousand beauties have been listed,Strive to be the first to capture the beauty of Emei”。The Queen Mother of the West in these texts is more similar to a noble lady、Goddess,This can also be confirmed nj bet365 murals unearthed from Liao tombs,For example, in 1994, the Liao Dynasty "Revelation of the Real" was unearthed from Tomb No. 1 in Baoshan Village, Dongshaburitai Township, Aruhorqin Banner, Inner Mongolia,The image of Queen Mother of the West is wearing a high bun,Wearing fancy clothes,Lady holding birthday peach,Has completely shed the color of the orcs in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas",Become a graceful and elegant woman,Confirms the evolution of the image of Queen Mother of the West。

Secondly,Mutual evidence of female hairstyles in murals unearthed from Liao tombs,Shows the integration and interaction of women’s aesthetic styles in Liao and Song Dynasties。The hairstyle of the people of Liao Dynasty is not recorded in "History of Liao","Song History" records it as "Kunfa"。1986,Khitan female figurines unearthed from the Liao Tomb in Chenzhuang, Changping, Beijing,Shows the hairstyle of women at that time,It is based on the spirit snake bun,The whole bun shape looks like the "high bun" of Han women,When viewed from the side, it looks like the shape of "ji",Tie with a hair tie at the top of "ji",Forehead hair with center parting,Meeting sideburns、Two locks on the side of the skull,Hanging in front of the ears、After,This hairstyle is very common nj bet365 murals unearthed from Liao tombs。It’s worth noting,The high bun popular among women nj bet365 Tang and Song Dynasties also appeared nj bet365 murals of Liao tombs,For example, the woman nj bet365 "Life and Service Picture" unearthed from Zhang Shiqing's tomb in Xiabali, Xuanhua, Hebei in 1972,The one on the left is a high bun and bandana hairstyle,Second from the left is a high bun,It’s not a snake bun that looks exactly like it,It is a typical high bun popular nj bet365 Tang and Song Dynasties。

Except for the high bun,Double hair buns also appeared in Liao tomb murals nj bet365 Tang and Song Dynasties,For example, in 1981, the woman nj bet365 "Jile Tu" unearthed from Tomb No. 6 in Belibuge Village in front of Nailin'ao Commune, Kulun Banner, Inner Mongolia, wears her hair in a double bun。Another example is the "Sending Brocade Picture" unearthed in 1994 in Tomb No. 2, Baoshan Village, Dongshaburitai Township, Aruhorqin Banner, Inner Mongolia,The heroine’s hairstyle is also double-haired,Full of golden hairpins,Very beautiful。There is an inscription nj bet365 orange box nj bet365 upper left corner of this picture "□□Conquering the Liao Dynasty is long,Su Niang is haggard and difficult to bear,Ding Ningzhi sent back Wen Jin,I express my sincere love for you all my life",It can be seen that the story of the mural is based on the story of "Broiled Brocade" contained in "Book of Jin"。Su Niang is also the talented girl Su Hui of the former Qin Dynasty,She once woven brocade and sent it back to her husband after he remarried to win back her husband,It is a love story with a happy ending。"Xuanhe Painting Book" records that someone had already painted "Brocade Palindrome" nj bet365 Tang Dynasty,It’s a pity not to pass it on。This mural unearthed from the Liao tomb is the earliest image that reflects this story,Perhaps we can get a glimpse of Tang Dynasty Painting No. 1 and 2,We can also see the influence of women’s fashion nj bet365 Tang Dynasty on the tomb culture of the Liao Dynasty。

In addition,The aesthetics of women nj bet365 Liao Dynasty also had a great influence on the fashion of Han women nj bet365 Song Dynasty。For example, the "Song of Sutras" unearthed from Tomb No. 2 in Baoshan Village, Dongshaburitai Township, Aruhorqin Banner, Inner Mongolia in 1994,There are three women nj bet365 painting,Two of them have hairstyles、The clothing is roughly similar,It is a common dress for Khitan noble women。One of the unique images of a woman teasing a parrot,His face is plump、Clever features,The long skirt she is wearing is very similar to the long skirt often worn by women nj bet365 Song Dynasty,His hairstyle combines the characteristics of a cross bun and big sideburns and square forehead,Place the upper and lower combs in front of the forehead,With a golden hairpin。There is an orange-red rectangular frame nj bet365 upper right corner of the mural,Inscribe a poem with Qijue saying: "Snow-clothed Dan Emperor Longshan Bird,Every time I receive deep advice from the palace。Don’t speak mortal words to the world,The sounds are all the sounds of chanting sutras。”The poem is simple and easy to understand,Confirms that the content of the mural is the story contained in "Miscellaneous Records of the Ming Emperor·Xue Yi Niang",According to scholars’ research, the woman should be Concubine Yang。Because this tomb is the tomb of a noble nj bet365 early Liao Dynasty,The Song Dynasty had not yet been established at that time,The style of Concubine Yang not only reflects the aesthetic style of Khitan aristocratic women before the Song Dynasty,Judging from the fact that the bra became the main clothing for women nj bet365 Song Dynasty,Khitan women’s aesthetics also influenced women’s fashion nj bet365 Song Dynasty。Also,Yuan Xian's "Maple Window Slip" records that during the Xuanhe period of the Northern Song Dynasty, women in Bianjing were popular with large sideburns and square foreheads,Or maybe it’s influenced by Khitan women’s fashion。

Finally,The female images nj bet365 murals unearthed from Liao tombs supplement the easily misunderstood areas nj bet365 classics and documents,With the function of image verification。There is a gradual evolution process nj bet365 use of musical instruments such as the pipa,Tang and Song Dynasties,Pipa imagery is often found in poetry,However, if you examine the mural images, you will find that the pipa used in most banquet occasions nj bet365 Tang Dynasty was the pipa with a curved head,Hug horizontally、Pluck with a pluck,Not the common pipa held vertically now。Before the Middle Tang Dynasty,The pipa in Tang poetry is also often associated with the Qiang flute、Flute、The transverse flute appears together,Express heroic and majestic feelings,The players are mainly male,For example, Cen Shen's "Drunk Composition at the Prefecture's Banquet in Jiuquan" "The Harmony of Pipa and Flute Music",Qiang'er and Hu Chuqi sing together";Gu Kuang's "Liu Channu Plays the Pipa Song" "Yuefu only preaches that horizontal blowing is good,Pipa writes "Guanshan Road" etc.。The music and dance images nj bet365 murals can also support this point,For example, several "music and dance" murals nj bet365 tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Zhujiadao Village, Fuping, Shaanxi Province were excavated in 1994,All of the above。After the Middle Tang Dynasty,The pipa played with fingers has become widely popular among the people,There are also actions such as "tap", "rapid bomb" and "drunk bomb" nj bet365 poem。But this situation may be limited to the upper class,Judging from the unearthed tomb murals,Probably until the Song and Liao Dynasties,The players have just changed from being mostly men to mostly young women,However, the pipa played is still a horizontal pipa。For example, the 1951 Song Dynasty Tomb in Baisha, Henan Province shows a woman playing the pipa in a horizontal embrace,Hand movements clearly visible;The "Music and Dance Picture" from the Song Dynasty Tomb in Jiangjiagou Village, Chengguan Town, Pingding County, Shanxi Province in 1991 also shows a woman playing the horizontal pipa。The situation in Liao Tombs is more complicated,From the unearthed murals in Liao tombs, it can be seen that at that time, the pipa was mainly held horizontally,It’s just that the players are male and female,Shows the dynamic evolution process of the history of pipa playing。As mentioned above, the female player holding the pipa horizontally nj bet365 "Pipa Picture" unearthed from Tomb No. 6 in Beilibuge Village in front of Nailin'ao Commune, Kulun Banner, Inner Mongolia in 1981,The movements of his hands are quite clear,Play it with a plectrum;In 1974, a "Single Music Picture" was unearthed on the east wall of the front room of Zhang Shiqing's tomb in Xiabali, Xuanhua,The one on the right is a man holding a pipa horizontally,The hand is also holding the plectrum very clearly。We can see the Song and Liao Dynasties,Holding the pipa horizontally still has not withdrawn from the stage of history,The real pipa playing activities mainly focused on women's "playing" should only enter the homes of ordinary people after the Song Dynasty。

In summary,There is a mutually supporting relationship between the female images nj bet365 tomb murals unearthed from the Liao Dynasty and the ancient classics,This not only reflects the absorption of Liao Dynasty women’s fashion into Han culture of the same period,It also shows the common life ideals and aesthetic pursuits of people of all ethnic groups in China。At the same time,Liao Dynasty murals interpret historical figures,Also breaks the boundaries of time and space,The Queen Mother of the West in traditional culture、Yang Guifei became part of the tomb culture of the Liao Dynasty,People of all ethnic groups share the same spiritual home,The candle illuminates the pluralistic and unified pattern of Chinese culture。In addition,Liao Dynasty murals also prove the changes nj bet365 history of pipa performance,Make historical details more vivid and concrete。It’s not hard to see,nj bet365 long history,The lives of people of all ethnic groups in China have always been deeply intertwined,mutual influence。
