摘要
中国古代金银器的研究历来受到海内外研究者的高度重视,许多学者对此作了有益的探讨,我们今天能对中国古代金银器有如此丰富的知识首先应感谢他们的研究。古代中国本不以金银为容器,王公贵族后来用金银制器明显受北方游牧民族或西方文化影响。中国境内出土的金银器有些原本就是外来之物,因而为研究中西文化交流提供了重要标本。中亚、西亚诸国和欧亚草原游牧人很早就开始在金银器制作工艺方面进行技术交流。单凭器物类型或纹饰,有时难以确定其文化属性。所以那些带有铭文。
This article is to introduce five silver wares with foreign scripts,of which there are two Sogdian silver bowls, one Persian silver bowl and two Bactrian silver dishes. They were unearthed in Xi'an of Shaanxi, Qarashahri of Xinjiang,Datong of Shanxi and Jingyuan of Gansu. The Sogdian and Pahlavi inscriptions were deciphered by British scholar Dr. N. Sims-Williams,one Bactrian inscription by W. Sundermann and another by the author of this paper,respectively. The inscriptions of the two Sogdian silver bowls provide the evidences for studying the prevalence of Zoroasterism and Zurvanism in China;the two Bactrian dishes provide important specimens for our recognizing Bactrian antiques from the reign of the Ephthalites in Central Asia.
