Summary

Description	English: This picture is one of the 10 Fuxi Nuwa maps excavated by the Japanese Otani expedition from Turpan, Xinjiang. It originally belonged to the Korean Governor's Palace Museum and returned to the National Central Museum of South Korea after World War II. Material: Silk Weaving - Hemp Dimensions: 189.0×79.0 cm Collection No.: 4027 This "Picture of Fuxi Nuwa" was found in Astana's tomb in Turpan. The theme is Fuxi and Nuwa appearing in Chinese creation mythology. Turpan is an early area integrated into Han culture, where Chinese elements or characteristics are often found in the burial objects unearthed. In the center of the picture, the two gods look at each other, with Nu Wa on the left and Fuxi on the right. The two gods hold regular and curved rulers (curved rulers), symbolizing the traditional Chinese cosmological view of the full place. The upper body is human, and the lower body is in the shape of a snake wrapped around each other. There are many small holes on the edge of the figure, which is presumed to be a trace of nails left when the picture was hung on the roof. The statue first outlines the outline with heavy ink thread and then coated with thick red and white pigments. The background is painted with the sun, moon and stars, forming a small universe. Although the performance of details is not meticulous, it has attracted much attention for its bright colors and balanced composition. 中文：该图是日本大谷探险队从新疆吐鲁番发掘的10幅伏羲女娲图之一，原属于朝鲜总督府博物馆，二战后归韩国国立中央博物馆。材料：丝织 - 麻尺寸：189.0×79.0厘米馆藏编号：4027 这幅《伏羲女娲图》发现于吐鲁番地区的阿斯塔纳墓穴中，创作题材为中国创世神话中出现的伏羲和女娲。吐鲁番是较早融入汉族文化的地区，在这里出土的陪葬品中经常会发现中国元素或特点。图中央为两神相望，左侧是女娲，右侧是伏羲。两神各持规和弯曲的矩尺(曲尺)，象征天圆地方这一中国传统的宇宙观。上半身为人身，下半身则是互相缠绕的蛇形。图边缘有很多小孔，据推测这是将图挂在顶棚上时留下来的钉子的痕迹。神像先以重墨线勾勒出轮廓后，涂上厚厚的红色和白色颜料制作而成。背景绘有日月星辰，形成了一个小宇宙。虽然细节的表现算不上细致，但是以其鲜明的色彩和均衡的构图而备受关注。 Русский: Это одна из 10 картин, найденных экспедицией Отани в округе Турфан в Синьцзяне. Она побывала последовательно у нескольких владельцев, а после Второй мировой войны стала достоянием Национального музея Кореи. Материалы: Шелк и лён. Размер: 189×79 см. Коллекционный номер: 4027. Эта картина была найдена в гробнице Астаны в Турфане. Её сюжет — Фу Си и Нюйва, которые, согласно китайскому мифу, сотворили весь мир. Элементы и признаки китайской культуры часто встречаются в погребальных предметах, найденных в Турфане. В центре картины два бога, обнявшись, смотрят друг на друга: слева — Нюйва, справа — Фу Си. Верхние части тел у этих богов человеческие, а нижние — змеевидные, сплетённые друг с другом. Нюйва держит в свободной руке циркуль, а Фу Си — изогнутую линейку, что символизирует традиционный китайский взгляд на Вселенную, — небо и землю. Вокруг изображены солнце, луна и звёзды. Хотя исполнение деталей не отличается тщательностью, но яркие цвета, сбалансированная композиция и ясно выраженный символический смысл картины придают ей большую историко-культурную значимость. По краям полотна много маленьких отверстий. Предполагается, что это следы гвоздей, которыми его прикрепляли к потолку.
