中文題名： 比武及孔子見老子圖  
英文題名： Confucius meeting with Lao Tzu  
年代： 東漢  
出土地： 山東臨淄  
高 廣： 91×94cm(原拓)  


說明：

董作賓於民國廿二年在山東臨淄南關小學校內手拓。此為同一畫象石的另一面，共分四格，上兩格有馬及武士比劍，下兩格為孔子見老子及項橐圖。這是山東漢墓及祠堂常見的畫象主題之一，寓有多重的象徵意義。象徵孔子謙沖為懷，以老子為師，也可能象徵以儒處世的墓主對握有不死之方，神仙化老子的嚮往。
This rubbing was made from a Han stele by Tung Tso-pin in Shantung in l933. It is the other side of the same stone (no. 27073). In the two lower grids Confucius is depicted meeting with Lao Tzu and Hsiang T'o. This is one of the most frequently seen motifs in Han dynasty tombs and shrines of Shantung. It has multiple meanings. It represents the humble Confucius treating Lao Tzu as his teacher. It probably also indicates that the tomb owner, himself a Confucian, also admired Lao Tzu.
