試析捨身飼虎本生與睒子本生圖像的對應組合關係 - 兼論麥積山第127窟功德主=An Analysis of Corresponding Relationship in Image Combination of the Illustrations of the Mahasattva Jātaka and the Syāmaka Jātaka - With a Discussion of the Donors of Cave 127 at the Maijishan Grottoes
There is a great variety of Buddhist Jātaka tales, and each type has its own characteristics and Buddhist doctrines that require explanation. The Mahasattva Jātaka and the Syāmaka Jātaka are two images depicting"alms-giving" and "filial piety" that appeared in the same cave as a pair and obviously exhibit a corresponding relationship, as shown by image combination, which could not have been coincidence. They were placed in the same cave for historical and religious reasons, and together with the other contents in the cave form an integrated whole. It would be much more accurate to further discuss the main donors of cave 127 at the Maijishan Grottoes on this basis.
