Jiuquan: Ma Dehui Pagoda

Stone

馬德惠塔

甘肅省酒泉市石佛灣子出土

一九九九年甘肅省酒泉市石佛灣子出土。此塔上部殘佚,整體結構不明,現存平頭、覆鉢形塔身及塔基。塔高34公分,底徑16公分。平頭為方柱形,有方形角柱,覆鉢形塔身上部周刻八尊飛天,飛天形象在北涼(397~439)石塔中僅在該塔出現。而北涼石塔為學者推測是中國最早的造像塔形式。
 覆鉢形塔身周刻八個淺浮雕圓拱形龕,龕內為八尊淺浮雕像,七尊為結跏坐佛,第八尊為交腳坐菩薩。
 圓柱上刻有經文二十九行,內容與《增一阿含經》卷四十二〈結禁品〉基本相同。經文後為發願文「承陽二年(426)歲在丙寅次於鶉火十月五日馬德惠於酒泉西城立為父母報恩」。
 塔基為八面形,每面有一尊陰線刻像,共有四男四女,每像的正上方各刻一八卦符號,由震卦始,止於艮卦,從左至右與《周易‧說卦傳》中八卦方位說的排列順序一致。
 題記中「承陽二年歲在丙寅次」,歷史上並無承陽年號記載,但北涼的丙寅紀年只有一個,故推斷為西元四二六年,是研究早期中國造像塔的珍貴資料。
