| 摘要 | The Eastern Han mural tomb at Horinger often is said to feature one of the earliest Buddhist themes in China, namely, the relics of the Buddha or a related motif. But the controversial basis for such identification, the tomb’s now-vanished inscription of “shēlì 猞猁,” resulted from an unverifiable reading by a local archaeologist working under adverse conditions and an unqualified confirmation by a leading authority in the discipline—neither of whom were specialists in Buddhism. There is nothing in the tomb that justifies connecting it to the Sanskrit term śarīra, a reference to the Buddha’s cremated remains. This essay offers insight into the critical problems that arise when art historical misidentifications are cited in general historical treatments, thus distorting the picture of early Buddhism and its material culture in China. |
