西安地鐵壁畫玄奘取經出錯引爭議
Despite its reputation for touting its millennia of history, the city of Xi'an was schooled recently after a Net user spotted an inaccuracy in a subway station mural of historic proportions.
儘管西安是一座享有千年歷史的古城,但最近在一名網友指出該市地鐵站一幅歷史壁畫中的錯誤之後,西安還是受到了教育。The Dayan Pagoda station mural features the likeness of Xuanzang - the famed Buddhist monk who departed from Xi'an around the year 630 to retrieve sutras from India.
位於大雁塔地鐵站的這幅壁畫,描繪的是公元630年左右,玄奘從西安出發前往印度取西經的故事。However, social media users were quick to point out the mural's inclusion of India's iconic Taj Mahal. Completed in 1643, result was an anachronism of nearly 1,000 years.
但是,社交媒體上的用戶很快就發現,這幅壁畫中還包含了印度的標誌性建築泰姬陵。泰姬陵完工於1643年,和玄奘的時代相差了近1000年。
"Xuanzang traveled to India, then a Buddhist country in the seventh century while Taj Mahal was built by the Moguls, the Muslim conquerors, a thousand years later," Sina Weibo user "Doctor Shi Leiming" posted.
新浪微博用戶“Doctor Shi Leiming”說道:“玄奘去的是印度,在公元7世紀的時候印度還是一個佛國。但泰姬陵卻是1000年後由穆斯林王朝莫臥兒修建的。”Others, however, saw the anachronism as a practical choice.
但其他人則把這種穿越時空視爲一種比較現實的選擇。"The Taj Mahal is merely a symbol of India and the painting is just meant to let people know Xuanzang traveled there for Buddhist sutras," said a 21-year-old student surnamed Wang at Shanghai Jiaotong University.
來自上海交通大學、今年21歲的王同學說道:“泰姬陵是印度的一個象徵,把它畫在壁畫中只是爲了讓人們知道玄奘曾經去過印度取經。”
