祖宗雕刻像是家属为留住先人的遗容而制作的具有纪念性的像即祖宗像。祖宗像在明清时期的滥觞,是一个值得关注的现象。目前,学术界对于祖宗画像的研究较多,但对于祖宗雕塑性像则几乎没有人涉及。本文拟就这一选题,围绕丁兰刻像的故事及图像、与祖宗雕塑像相关的文献及实物、神性与世俗性的交融这三个方面展开历史考察。 Ancestral carving is like a monumental, ancestral image made by a family member to preserve the ancestral remains of ancestors. Patriarchs like the beginning of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is a phenomenon worth noting. At present, there are many academic studies on ancestral portraits, but few are involved in the ancestral sculptural images. This article intends to conduct a historical survey on this topic, focusing on the stories and images of Ding Lan, the documents related to the ancestor sculptures, and the blending of deity and divinity.
