摘要

本文概述了侏儒/小丑在古印度历史和社会中的重要性。在古印度的寺庙里有许多像矮人一样的人物。这些小雕像不仅填满了整个区域,增加了装饰价值,而且它们在肖像学中占有很小但很重要的地位。在阿旃陀的墙壁上和《纳塔沙斯特拉》的文本中,人们发现了一个像矮人一样的人物,Vidushaka,他是一个婆罗门,头上戴着一束草,手里拿着一根棍子。他的职业是通过让法庭开怀大笑来缓解紧张的气氛。在古印度,Vidushaka作为一种娱乐方式的价值是不言而喻的。这项研究的目的是看看Vidushaka(小丑)是如何为古印度的“娱乐产业”做出贡献的,以及他们是如何在整个历史(从古代到中世纪)中被描绘出来的。这也会让我们发现,小丑不仅善于用有趣的笑话逗乐别人,而且能够表达自己对人类生活的奇怪。

Entertaining the Royalty. A forgotten tradition of the Vidushaka in Ancient Indian History
This paper provides an overview of the importance of dwarf figures/jesters in Ancient Indian history and society. There are numerous dwarf-like figures depicted in ancient Indian temples. These little figurines would have not only filled the area and add decorative value but also, they have a small but significant place in iconography. A dwarf-like figure, the Vidushaka, who was a brahmin with a tuft on his head and a staff in his hand, was found on the walls of Ajanta and in the Natyashastra text. His occupation is to light the stressful environment by making the court laughing. It goes without saying how valuable the Vidushaka is as a kind of entertainment in ancient India. The objective of this research is to look at how the Vidushaka (jester) had been contributing to the ‘entertainment industry’ of ancient India and how they have been portrayed through out the history (from ancient to medieval times). This would also allow us to discover that jesters were not only adept at entertaining others with amusing jokes, but also able to express himself on the oddities of human life.
