十二生肖墓志在洛阳地区多有发现,从唐代到宋代,其纹饰可分多种类型,并经历了自动物原形生肖到完全人化生肖的演变历程。唐代仅见动物形象的生肖图案、半人化的人身兽首生肖形象,以后者居多且修饰纹饰变化多样。五代时期生肖图像进一步拟人化,但修饰纹饰仍囿于之前的种类且有所减少。至宋代则最终演变为完全人化的生肖图像。这种转变是当时社会发展变化的必然结果,也是当时社会文化艺术内涵衍变的真实表现。 In the Luoyang area, most of the zodiac statues were found. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, their motifs were divided into many types and experienced the evolution from the animal’s prototype zodiac to the fully humanized zodiac. The Tang Dynasty only saw the zodiac pattern of animal images, semi-human animal zodiac animal image, the latter mostly and decorative ornamentation varied. The image of the Zodiac of the Five Dynasties period was further anthropomorphic, but the decorative ornamentation was still reduced to the previous species. The Song Dynasty eventually evolved into a fully humanized zodiac image. This change was the inevitable result of the social development and change at that time, and also the true manifestation of the evolution of the connotation of social culture and art at the time.
