Abstract敦煌佛爺廟灣M121墓室、甬道鋪設了龍首犬身呈犬坐的怪獸模印磚,其造型怪異,為前所未見,其性質、名稱均令人生疑。值得注意的是,上世紀50年代以來,中國北方地區陸續發現一批呈坐姿的以"龍"為主題的文物——"坐龍"。這些坐龍或出土於遺址或出土於墓葬,質料則有銅、陶之別。時代自唐代以降,下迄元代。經與史籍核稽,這類"坐龍"可分為兩類:一是金代皇帝輅、輦之上的"坐龍"飾物;一是唐、元代墓葬所出為敦煌卷子所載之辟除兇邪的"伏龍"。

In the main chamber and entrance corridor of Tomb M121 at Foyemiaowan, Dunhuang, several bricks impressed with the image of a crouched or seated dragon-headed, dog-bodied beast can be found. This artistic motif has never been seen before and the historical lineage and cultural source of the impressed image is difficult to ascertain. It is noteworthy that since the 1950 s, a group of cultural relics bearing images of seated dragons began to be discovered throughout northern China. The images were either found in ancient sites or in ancient tombs, were made of copper or clay, and can be roughly dated to a period from between the Tang and Yuan dynasties. An examination of these impressed bricks and other cultural relics with the same image suggests that this motif can be divided into two types, one depicting a seated dragon that resembles the image often used as decoration on the chariots or man-drawn carriages used by the emperors of the Jin dynasty, and another type that closely resembles the crouching dragon images unearthed in the tombs of the Tang and Yuan dynasties. Historical documents contemporary with this second type show that it was believed that this motif could ward off evil.
