Abstract關于敦煌佛爺廟灣西晉畫像磚墓中的"白象"畫像磚,筆者曾提出其"帶有佛教文化色彩"。鄭巖先生以商周、漢代常見"象"這一藝術題材為據,認為象是"傳統題材"。筆者從解析不同時期所謂"傳統題材"的不同文化內涵入手,認為白象并不屬于傳統題材。同時其時史籍中白象的闕如及在佛典中的重要地位,表明白象這一藝術題材的文化淵源具有唯一性,因而白象只能源自佛典,其所承載的佛教文化信息是毋庸置疑的。

The author hold an opinion that the image of white elephant engraving on a bricks unearthed from the Western Jin Dynasty’s brick relief tomb at Foyemiaowan Dunhuang enrich with Buddhist culture,Mr.ZHENG Yan hold an opinion that elephant was a traditional Chinese theme because they were common motif for ancient artist from the Sang and Zhou Dynasties until the Han Dynasty.This article analysis the different cultural connotation of cultural subjection in different times and draws a conclusion that the image of the white elephant never be a traditional Chinese art motif. By a careful textual research,the author proofed that there were a few records of white elephant narration found in Chinese history Classics but white elephant were laid much emphasis by Buddhist Canons and confessed a fact that it was a unique nature for Buddhist art theme to be represented. There is no doubt about it that origin source of white elephant comes from Buddhist canon and carried it with the Buddhist cultural information.
