佳士得文章:热忱所在 佛教铜像

2017年8月24日 佳士得中国艺术品专家崔仕廷 (Tristan Bruck) 介绍一组于亚洲艺术周呈献的出色佛教铜像珍藏,并阐释其独特之处

「我研究过所有亚洲文化的艺术史,我认为佛教是亚洲各种文化的交汇之处。」身旁摆满手心大小的鎏金造像,佳士得亚洲艺术专家崔仕廷 (Tristan Bruck) 正在介绍一系列中国及韩国佛像;这些珍品述说着横跨600年的亚洲宗教艺术历史。

从一尊出自四世纪的佛像说起,这尊造像拥有印度 、古希腊及古罗马背景,从中可以得窥亚历山大大帝的征战历史,而雕像上刻有的一对狮子,是工匠从未亲眼见过的生物。然后登场的一尊佛像,则展现了理想化的佛陀形象。崔仕廷认为此系列于亚洲艺术周呈献的珍藏,让「我们得以一窥1500年前的平民生活。」

「佛像小巧轻盈,可放入口袋或鞍囊中,用于自行设坛敬拜。」

「早期的中国佛像来自僧侣和商贾,经丝路从中亚及印度带往中国。佛像小巧轻盈,可放入口袋或鞍囊中,用于自行设坛敬拜。」崔仕廷如是说,并同时介绍了在他眼前那些佛像的重要性及吸引之处。

「佛教后来传入日本,」崔仕廷于短片中说,讲述了此组佛像所经历过的旅途。「各种文化以自己的方式诠释佛教;所以研究佛教艺术,便是研究亚洲艺术的历史。」

– The bottom attachment tab may have been off an re-attached or some filler has been added around one side where it is attached to the back.

拍品专文
This figure of a bodhisattva would have been part of a large, complex Buddhist votive group, probably flanking a central figure of Buddha, as the two attachment tabs are positioned near one edge of the back. The treatment of the robes and scarves, which flare outward in an animated fashion from the sides, is one of the distinctive styles seen during the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei and Western Wei periods. A similar treatment of the robes, with flaring, wing-tipped drapery, can be seen on the figure of a gilt-bronze luohan (14.6 cm. high) in the Fogg Museum, Cambridge, illustrated by H. Munsterberg, Chinese Buddhist Bronzes, Vermont/Tokyo, 1967, frontispiece, where it is dated Northern Wei dynasty. This depiction of the robes and scarves creates an abstract, linear pattern that obscures the body. The current figure is very similar to another bodhisattva figure which forms the center of a complex votive group in the Art Institute of Chicago, illustrated by Matsubara Saburo in Chugoku Bukkyo Chokokushi ron (The Path of Chinese Buddhist Sculpture),Tokyo, 1995, vol. 1, pl. 296, where it is dated Western Wei (AD 535-556), as it is by Jin Shen in Zhongguo lida jinian foxiang tudian (Illustrated Chinese Buddha Images through the Ages), Beijing, 1995, p. 216, no. 158. Not only are the robes, scarves and necklace similar, but also the shape and features of the face and the crown with trailing ribbons. Like the current figure, the bodhisattva in the published group stands on a lotus base, but is surrounded by subsidiary figures, all raised on a stand with open sides that is inscribed with a dedicatory inscription by Kang Sheng dated to AD 539.

拍品专文
This small, well-cast figure is a fine example of a specific group of small sculptures of Shakyamuni Buddha made for personal devotion that found popularity during the fourth to fifth centuries in China. They are some of the earliest free-standing representations of Buddha made in China, and point to the direct spread of Buddhism from India into China. This group of figures retains the stylistic influences of earlier Indian representations, such as the pose, the type of garment with parallel folds, and the treatment of the hair, with wavy curls covering the ushnisha. This iconography is apparent in a seated figure of Buddha in the center of the cover of a Gandharan gilt-bronze reliquary, dated circa 100-150 CE, now in the Peshawar Museum of Art, and illustrated by Denise P. Leidy, Donna Strahan, et al., in Wisdom Embodied: Chinese Buddhist and Daoist Sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2010, p. 7, fig. 4. The robes of this latter figure have a more natural, and fluid appearance, which is characteristic of Gandharan and Mathuran sculpture of second-century date, but these softer lines evolved into the simplified, more abstract linear folds of the robes of the Chinese figures, such as those of one of the earliest-known Chinese figures of this type in the Brundage Collection, Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, which is dated 338 CE, and is illustrated by Hugo Munsterberg in Chinese Buddhist Bronzes, Vermont/Japan, 1967, p. 37, pl. 1. The Brundage figure has a plain rectangular base, but other similar figures are seated on a “lion” throne, similar to that of the present figure. These include an example dated to the early fifth century, in the Nelson- Atkins Museum of Art, also illustrated by Munsterberg, pl. 2, and another very similar figure dated to the Sixteen Kingdoms period, late fourth to early fifth century, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, illustrated in Wisdom Embodied, op. cit., pp. 48-50, no. 1. As with the base of the present figure, two lions flank a vase of flowers or a lotus, and this representation, too, is based on Gandharan and Mathuran iconography of second and third century date. Several similar Chinese gilt-bronze figures seated on a similar “lion” throne are illustrated by Saburo Matsubara in Chugoku Bukkyo chokokushi shiron, vol. 1, Early Six Dynasties, Tokyo, 1995, pls. 10-14.

拍品专文
The inscription on the pedestal base, Hongwu bingzi yiyue jiri shi, ‘made on an auspicious day in the first month of the bingzi year (29th year) during the Hongwu reign,’ is similar to the inscription dated to the fourth month of the bingzi year, inscribed on a similar miniature gilt-bronze Buddha sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 27 November 2007, lot 1806, which also bears a lengthy dedicatory inscription, referring to the figure as being part of a group totaling 5,048 made for worship by future devotees. Another of these figures dated to the 29th year of the Hongwu reign is illustrated in Gems of Beijing Cultural Relics Series: Buddhist Statues I, Beijing, 2001-2004, p. 73, pl. 34.

佛龛是供奉佛像、神位等的小阁子,如佛龛、神龛等,一般为木制,中国古代的石窟雕刻一般是神龛式,小龛又称椟。龛原指掘凿岩崖为空,以安置佛像之所。据《观佛三昧海经》卷四记载,一一之须弥山有龛室无量,其中有无数化佛。《大毗婆沙论》卷一七七记载:底沙佛至山上,入吠琉璃龛,敷尼师檀,结跏趺坐,入火界定。现今各大佛教遗迹中,如印度之阿旃塔,爱罗拉,我国云冈、龙门等石窟,四壁皆穿凿众佛菩萨之龛室。后世转为以石或木,作成橱子形,并设门扉,供奉佛像,称为佛龛;此外,亦有奉置开山祖师像。

佛龛八成金质,正面镶玻璃,周边为累丝缠枝莲花纹。佛龛顶部、底部及侧面均饰累丝卷草纹。

背面有银质插门,周边亦为累丝缠枝莲花纹。插门上刻汉文“乾隆三十一年(1766年)九月初三日,钦命阿嘉胡士克图认看供奉利益番造手持金刚”31字以及满文、藏文题记。佛龛下部有金座,束腰式,錾刻莲瓣纹。

座底刻佛花一朵。佛龛内供奉一尊小佛像,佛的头部描金,右手持金刚杵一。

【周府造铜鎏金佛坐像】

周府造铜鎏金佛坐像,明洪武二十九年(1396年),高6厘米。

释迦像发作螺髻,手施禅定、与愿印,身著袈裟,结跏趺坐于莲台上。莲台下为六角束腰须弥座,须弥座束腰间刻发愿文云:“周府欲报四恩,命工铸造佛相,一样五千四十八尊,俱用黄金镀之,所以广陈供养,崇敬如来,吉祥如意者。洪武丙子四月吉日施。”

周府可能是周王府简称。《明史·卷一百十六》载,朱元璋第5子朱橚,初封吴王,洪武十一年(1378年)改封周王,十四年(1381年)就藩开封。二十二年(1389年),朱橚弃藩就凤阳,帝怒,使居京师,二十四年(1391年)归藩。后因有谋逆嫌疑,复召还京,锢之。成祖入南京,复爵。洪熙元年(1425年)薨。

这种铜鎏金佛造像,除北京故宫博物院有数件收藏外,还见于上海、北京及日本等公私收藏。从鎏金、发愿文保存情况看,应以此件为佳。上述造像反映出明代王府热衷佛教造像的现象。

Height 6⅛ in., 15.6 cm

Condition Report
In overall good condition. With wear to gilding, surface abrasion, accretion, oxidation, and small areas of encrustations. An area of loss of gilding and indentation to the back of the figure.
整體品相良好,鎏金稍有使用痕跡,表面有磨損、積污、氧化、及銅銹結晶。背面有一凹處及一小處鎏金失。

Catalogue Note
Striking for its rich gilding, this figure belongs to an exclusive group of exquisitely cast images of the Buddha made in the Northern Wei dynasty, when bronze casting of Buddhist images reached a new peak. Its serene expression, quiet meditative pose and heavy drapery are testaments to the continued influence of Indian sculptures and the gradual sinicization of the form.

Under the direct patronage of the foreign Tuoba royal family, which established the Northern Wei dynasty, Buddhism flourished in China. In an effort to prove their legitimacy to the Chinese throne they enthusiastically supported Buddhism, sponsoring the construction of temple grottoes and the making of Buddhist images. This piece is inscribed with a cyclical date corresponding to 478, corresponding to of Emperor Xiaowen’s reign (r. 471-499). The son of Emperor Xianwen, he was crowned Emperor at the age of two under the regency of Grand Empress Dowager Feng. A gradual process of sinicization began under her rule, and accelerated once Emperor Xiaowen consolidated power in the early 480s. They both encouraged Tuoba clan members to adopt Han culture, forced the use of Chinese language and clothing, and later moved the capital to Luoyang, the former capital of the Eastern Han dynasty.

The deliberate adoption of Han Chinese culture had a profound effect on the artistic expression of the period, as craftsmen began to develop an independent Chinese style. This piece displays this gradual shift; the figure’s monastic robe clings to the body and falls in symmetrical pleats in a manner reminiscent of Buddhist sculpture from Gandhara, however the use of abstraction in the formalized linearity of the garment’s folds and the idealization of the bodily form both indicate the development of a distinct Chinese Buddhist visual mode which prioritizes the Buddha’s exemplary spirituality over his human dimensions.

Gilt-bronze figures of this type, depicting the Buddha seated with the arms on the lap are unusual, although a similar figure also dated 478, but with the robe covering both shoulders, in the Shanxi Provincial Museum, is illustrated in Matsubara Saburō, Chūgoku bukkyō chōkoku shiron/The Path of Chinese Buddhist Sculpture, Tokyo, 1995, vol. I, pl. 66b, together with a slightly smaller and more crudely made figure dated in accordance with 478, pl. 54d.

Portable figures of Buddhist deities from the reign of Emperor Xiaowen are discussed in the seminal paper by Matsubara Saburō, ibid., vol. 1, p. 15, where he lists twenty dated examples, ranging from the 1st (477) year of Taihe to the 21st year (497) of the reign. He analyses their form, content of their inscriptions and name of their donors, and suggests that Hebei province was the leading production center for these figures, continuing its dominance from the previous century.

本像鎏金華美、鑄工精妙,屬北魏佛像珍品。其面容慈悲,作冥想姿態,佛袍厚重,見印度造像遺韻。

拓跋族建立北魏後大力支持佛教,令其得以蓬勃於中土,同時興建大型石窟及佛像,意在鞏固中原統治。本像署太和二年款,即魏獻文帝之子孝文帝時期。北魏孝文帝,兩歲登基並由馮太后攝政,期間北魏開始漢化。孝文帝親政後,漢化更為迅速。馮太后及孝文帝皆命百姓學習漢語、改穿漢服,全面改易漢俗,並遷都至東漢故都洛陽。

社會改易漢俗,藝術風格亦因而演變。本像佛袍貼近軀體,衣褶左右對稱垂下,隱有犍陀羅佛像風格。層疊衣袍則具抽象線條感,軀體不仿人體比例,力求臻美造型以彰佛法善妙,此乃中式風格。

相類坐姿手勢之銅鎏金佛像頗為少見。可參考一例,亦紀太和二年,佛袍披雙肩,山西博物院藏,圖載於松原三郎,《中國仏教彫刻史論》,東京,1995年,卷1,圖版 66b,同書另載一例,尺寸較小,工略遜於本品,紀太和二年,圖版54d。

松原三郎曾撰重要文章論述孝文帝年間佛像,前述出處,卷1,頁15,文章列舉二十尊紀年例,製於太和元年至二十一年間。作者對其佛像造型、銘文及捐贈善信名號等加以研究分析,並推論河北應為此類佛像之重要產地。

金申先生收藏的洪武二十九年佛像正面
金申先生收藏的洪武二十九年佛像 发愿文部分

这发愿文中的“周府”,我原来在《收藏家》杂志发表时误识为“同府”,上海的徐汝聪女士随后也在《收藏家》介绍了这五千四十八尊之中的一尊,释为“周府”,其说为是。洪武丙子即洪武二十九年, 1396年,距今六百余年。(图1)

据《明史》,这周府应是朱元璋的第五子朱橚,洪武三年被封为吴王,十一年(1378)改封周王,十四年(1381)就藩开封。洪武二十二年,朱擅离封地,到早年驻守过的凤阳游玩,不料犯了大忌,按制,未经皇帝许可,不得擅离封地。朱元璋闻之大怒,拟流放云南,后经朝臣说情,暂住京师,两年后又恢复爵位,洪熙元年(1425)卒,溢曰“定”,故亦称周定王。

周定王的墓建在河南禹州市无梁镇的老官山,又称明山,太白山,这里林木葱茏,当地人称这座山为“青石寨,红石门,头枕金字石,脚踩莲花盆,”是个难得的风水宝地。

1936年时,附近山下王家村的乔黑老汉在犁地时不想牛腿陷入了地中,这才发现了定王墓,但早已被盗掘一空了。今天禹州定王墓已开放为旅游点,卖票参观。

几年前游开封,登宋代所建的名为繁塔的砖塔,“繁”字本地人读为“复”,不知何故。据载原为九层,明初时塔身倒塌,只留下今天所见到的三层。此塔的最大特色是塔身各面嵌满了砖雕佛像,正方形,每块砖的边长约三十公分,有佛坐像,菩萨像,布袋和尚,甚至还有伴虎随行的类似玄奘取经的行脚僧像,共约100余种,7000多块。这些砖雕也相沿称为宋代所造,但我却发现许多块砖雕上刻有“周府施造”的字样,这肯定也是和鎏金佛出自同一周府施造的了,只不过鎏金佛像可从年款上判断是依据朱橚的指示所造,繁塔的砖雕是第几代周王修缮砖塔时镶嵌上去的,还要确认。

五千零四十八尊洪武年鎏金佛像为什么这样说呢?因为朱橚的儿子朱有炖在洪熙元年(1425) 袭父周王封号,在明初皇帝与藩王之间的权力斗争中,其父朱橚曾遭谪迁、囚禁,朱有炖也受到他兄弟的诬陷。他为了避免猜忌,沉湎声色,寄情词曲,聊以自娱。他的诗文和散曲,多有参禅问道的题材,流露出看破红尘的情绪。

据明代的笔记载,方士传言河洛阳方向有紫气笼罩,恐有不祥,于是诏毁开封七级繁塔以拔除患惑。如果此事可靠,那么现在这三层塔就是那次毁坏的残留了,既然是为了摧跋周王的王气而毁塔,朱有炖自然深领其意,他不可能参与繁塔的修复。

这尊鎏金小佛无意中牵出了朱橚的生前和死后,不禁感叹这么个小物件竟也能承载这么多的信息,而今却几易其手,物是人非,暂归寒斋所有了。

开封繁塔的修复,周府肯定出了相当的财力,可知朱家是信佛的,尤其是朱橚经过了洪武二十二年那次险被流放云南,回京管教的有惊无险的经历,朱橚的信佛肯定更为笃诚。

再 回到这尊小佛的发愿文上说,为何造五千零四十八尊,我原也不解其意,不想介绍此小佛的文章发表在《收藏家》杂志上,被日本东京名叫服部法照的僧人看到了, 服部氏也喜收藏佛像。几年后巧遇于东京,他认为这五千零四十八的名数是因为《大藏经》有五千零四十八卷,故而造此数目的佛像是以每尊佛像代表一卷大藏经, 每铸一尊佛像即与诵读佛经同功,解释令人心服。有点类似南朝的傅翕傅大士发明的佛寺中的转轮藏,即木塔中装贮佛经,每转动五千零四十八尊洪武年鎏金佛像一圈,即等同于念了一遍佛经。

这同一批制作的小佛,除徐女士介绍的一尊外,我又陆续发现了多尊,(图2-5) 奇怪的是,日本和泉市久保惣美术馆举办的《隋唐时代的金铜佛》展览中竟然也展出了这同一批生产的洪武佛像,且标明为唐代。初见之下甚为惊愕,后来才明白, 流入日本的这尊像背后锈蚀严重,恰巧将洪武年号腐蚀掉了。虽然如此,可毕竟唐佛与明佛样式有别,怎么也不至于混淆如此啊!我给久保惣美术馆写信寄上照片, 馆长中野澈亲自回信表示感谢,说道想不到明代佛像还保持着唐风云云。(图6)

我的这一尊小佛文章一发表,想不到波及到了上海,东京及大阪地区,世界说大也大,说小也小。

大概这种制作精巧的小佛很受时人欢迎,我发现明代就有仿造了,尽管略显粗率,但格局和发愿文都照搬不变,显然并不是出于获利的目的制作的。(图7-8)

The style of the present figure is from the Gandhara-Mathura canon, and usually dates to the later 4th and 5th centuries before the imposition of the sinicised Northern Wei style. The earliest figure of this dhyani-type would appear to be the Brundage example dated C.E. 338, and illustrated by C. Deydier, Chinese Bronzes, 1981, col. pl. 111. Others in this style are usually attributed to the Six Dynasties such as the example in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, with roaring lions, illustrated by H. Munsterberg, Chinese Buddhist Bronzes, New York, 1988, pl. 2; and the figure from the collection of Goto Shinshudo, sold at Christie’s New York, 14 September 2017, lot 803 (fig. 1).
