Summary[edit]

Description
中文(繁體):七重寶樹神使圖細部,吐峪溝西南區第2窟。主室正壁畫有七重寶樹神使圖,橫列每列7棵寶樹,上下共7列,共49棵樹,該圖為49棵樹其中1棵。

在摩尼教文獻中,與「7」有關的數有多種,如摩尼教有7部大經;每週7天,每天7次懺悔禮拜;每年有7次祭祀;向教團有7種施捨;當摩尼教神先意與暗魔相鬥時,曾7次向大明父祈求;生命樹可分為根、基、枝、葉、果、氣、色7部分;摩尼信徒每月初一、十五供奉七七四十九個銅板香火錢等等。考慮到這大幅寶樹果園圖是畫在洞窟裡最主要的供奉禮拜壁面,而在同類洞窟中都畫這同一題材,那麼這幅畫是洞窟裡最主要的壁畫,其題材應是十分重要的,那麼這7棵樹代表的就是摩尼教的7部大經。再由於光明王國裡寶樹總是成行成列,因而寶樹便被排列成7列7行。

這些寶樹除了代表7部大經外,正如前此所論證的,它還代表摩尼、耶穌、生命樹、光明王國。關於這7部經,它也是擺渡信徒到彼岸世界的航船,那麼禮拜觀想這些寶樹,也就具有超渡和解脫的意義。

Licensing[edit]

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).

The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
