不鼓自鸣
Self-playing Musical Instruments
定义
壁画中表现音乐的一种构图形式。即将各种乐器绘于空间,并绕以彩带,类似飞天,以乐器凌空飘舞,寓意天乐自鸣。在天宫极乐世界里,处处有音乐,无需人演奏,乐器自会发出美妙的声音。
An artistic depiction of musical performances in the murals, where musical instruments are floating in the air, surrounded by colored ribbons, just like flying Asparas. That the musical instruments emit music automatically means the heavenly instruments themselves can emit music. In the Buddhist realm of nirvana, music is everywhere. No musicians are needed to play the instruments.
