Summary
[edit]DescriptionHanWudiBuddhas.jpg |
English: 8th century fresco at Mogao Caves near Dunhuang in Gansu Province. Depiction of the Han Emperor Wu worshiping statues of the Buddha. Attached textual description of Han Wudi worshiping golden men brought in 120 BC by a great Han general in his campaigns against the nomads:
"Emperor Han Wudi directed his troops to fight the Xiongnu and obtained two golden statues about 1 zhang tall [3 meters] that he displayed in the Ganquan Palace and regularly worshipped." The frescoe is located in Cave 323 in Mogao. It pertains to the same panel showing the departure of Zhang Qian to Western lands (Image:ZhangQianTravels.jpg). The two paintings are side-by-side. It combined legend and historical fact. It has been argued that the statue is a three meters colossal Zeus holding a goddess as no statues of the Buddha existed prior to the Indo-Greeks.[1]中文:漢武帝將其部眾討凶奴,並獲得二金(人),(各)長丈餘,刊〔列〕之於甘泉宮,帝(以)為大神,常行拜褐時。 |
