Meaning of Bronze Decorative Patterns
Bronze is found all over the world and is a symbol of worldwide civilization. The earliest bronzes appeared 6,000 years ago in the Two Rivers Valley of ancient Babylon. The large bronze knives carved with the image of lions during the Sumerian civilization are representative of early bronze. Chinese bronze art, through the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn and Warring States for more than a thousand years of development, formed a unique bronze culture. Shang and Zhou bronzes are the most important part of ancient Chinese bronzes. As the combination of Shang and Zhou bronze decoration with kingship and divine power is particularly prominent, its mysterious, unique and brilliant artistic features continued for more than ten centuries and created a very strong mystical atmosphere of early Chinese civilization. Thus, it not only played a direct role and dominated that era, but also on the later Chinese culture and art has had a profound impact.
In early human society, animals had magical powers over people, who were passive. The helplessness of nature, fear and awe, making people look forward to the shelter of divine power, and even imagine themselves as some kind of beasts, carving the beast body and human head or human body and animal head of the form, ornamentation. With the bronze on the more fierce and strange decorations? Ward off evil spirits? The Chinese government has also been using the "Lv Shi Chun Qiu" (吕氏春秋), which is the first of its kind in China. Lv's Spring and Autumn Annals The first knowledge of the prevalence of: "The Zhou tripod was made of taotie. The Zhou tripods were decorated with taotie motifs, which had a head but no body, eating people without swallowing, and harming their bodies, in order to say that they would be rewarded. The purpose of decorating taotie motifs is to let people know that gluttony will certainly harm themselves, and also implies the emotional component of people's fear of beasts, hatred and helplessness, and cursing them to eat their own fruits. At this time in the bronze decoration in the human form decoration is extremely rare, occasionally appear, but also only in a passive position, and taotie face often constitute the center of all the decoration, daunting. The hideous and horrible decoration is a projection of the fear of fate on the decoration of objects: to the foreigners is the embodiment of horror, and to the clan is a symbol of victory over fear. With the development of productive forces, people use wisdom, tools and beasts of prey to fight, from occasional victory, and gradually held, to take the initiative to appear as a challenger, some beasts of prey, but no longer as often as before in the villages and towns inhabited by people. Gradually, the fight between people and animals was reduced, and even the beasts were not looking for people to eat, but entered the era of people looking for beasts and hunting. Reflected in the bronze decoration, animal motifs tended to be programmed, and the dominant taotie motifs and kui motifs in the previous period were reduced in number and area, and the weird power they expressed diminished, gradually losing the supernatural magic of the past. Bronze decoration in the animal pattern is still preserved, no longer has the power of weird, or by the real animal pattern, figure pattern or geometric pattern replacement.
This changing relationship with animals influenced human attitudes towards them. Embodied in the myths, the role played by animals from the community ancestors (such as the relationship between the surname Zi and the Xuanbird, the Eastern Zhou canon "Poetry? The Song of Shang (商颂) has ? In the Song of Shang (商颂), the Eastern Zhou canon, "The Song of Shang" (詩? ), to the messenger of God ("Shuowen" says: "Feng, the bird of God, is also a bird of God"). The phoenix is also the bird of God. The messenger of God.) From the companion of the ancestor's hero (e.g. the relationship between Xia Houqi and the two dragons, the Classic of Mountains and Seas says: ? Qibin Tian was accompanied by two dragons?). to the demons that were conquered and slain for the hero. If man's attitude toward animals in early myths was one of reverence, this attitude no longer exists in later myths. Animals were no longer the helpers of human ancestors, but became the demons that brought evil upon people and were killed by heroes to make a name for themselves. Shang and Zhou bronzes on all kinds of pattern phenomenon, first of all, not out of the strange aesthetic concept, but out of the natural forces of reverence and the desire to dominate its childish fantasy. The patterns on Shang bronzes are inseparable from the animal world and the relationship between man and animals in the life of that time. That is, most of the animal motifs used by Shang decorative artists originally had an earthy and nature-related basis.? The craftsmen? will be the main body of the animal split into two equal halves, put together a plane, and then the body parts of the same animal to be repeated; or will be part of the A animal with another part of the B animal; or exaggerated one of its body and ignored the other part of the body, thus forming a variety of complex patterns. Therefore, there are all kinds of strange and weird images appear. But the subjects are taken out from the environment in which they live? Therefore, it is said that? Taotie pattern taken by the image of the object is mostly from the beginning, taken from the common birds and animals and other things, or nearly taken from the human?
Bronze decorative themes are rich, more geometric, animal prints, etc., to the middle of the Shang Dynasty and the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, this period of time, the animal prints through people's knowledge of some of the animals in the natural world and the subjective processing, resulting in a fantasy-based animal prints. Among them, taotie motifs, dragon motifs, phoenix motifs and so on occupy a major position. This article is mainly through the analysis and introduction of these three kinds of fantasy animal patterns (of course, there is no lack of introduction of other animal patterns), to see the Shang Dynasty period by the religious rituals and primitive totem influence of fantasy animal patterns, and its beauty and uniqueness. Animal motifs are mainly animal patterns decorated with animals in their original form. Animal type can be roughly divided into two categories, one for the realistic animal type, with the most Zun, like the elephant Zun, sheep Zun, cattle Zun and so on. It is a very important feature is real, vivid; and the other type of imaginary animal type. Most of the bird head animal Zun, bird and animal pattern four feet light goblet and so on. This type of animal is more people to some of the typical characteristics of animals to combine to create, more horror, grotesque, mysterious.
The evolution of bronze decorative patterns
The Shang Dynasty and the early Zhou Dynasty bronze Yi, is a combination of wine, especially the main sacrificial vessels, the animal patterns and the relationship between ancestor worship? Zuozhuan" Xuan Gong three years Wang Sunman said in reply to the question of Chu Zi: ? In the past, Xia's party had virtue, far away from the figure, the tribute gold nine, casting tripod like things, a hundred things and for the preparation, so that the people know the God of treachery. Therefore, the people into the rivers and rivers and mountains, do not meet not if, chi dragons and monsters, can not meet. With the ability to cooperate in the upper and lower, in order to bear the heavenly rest. In the view of Wang Sunman, some of the animals are to help the sorcerer through the sky and earth, and their images in ancient times cast on the bronze Yi.
It is not difficult to imagine, the bronze Yi strange decorations put people under the fear and majesty, in the ritual fireworks, giant eyes staring at the wide mouth open, instantly roaring animal decorations, help to create a serious and quiet, secretive and eerie atmosphere, resulting in a shocking intimidation, fully embodies the will of the ruler, the power. Western Zhou to the beginning of the Eastern Zhou bronze is mainly ritual musical instruments, used for? Ming noble and lowly, identify and list? Chronicle the achievements and martyrdom, and show the virtue of the Ming Dynasty. Bronze taotie ornamentation has been relegated to a secondary position, decorative form is also different from the pre-symmetrical type of individual fit, more than the use of the two sides of the continuous band pattern, often a mother of pearl weaving into the band of continuous, repeated, neat for change. The form of its one song and three sighs, giving people an organized rhythm, rhythmic beauty. This is closely related to the concept of etiquette, which emphasizes hierarchy and order, and is also similar to the expression of the stacked chapters of "The Book of Songs", in which the repetition reinforces the main idea and strengthens the infectious force.
Decoration of a reversal of the previous period of simplicity, simplicity, tends to be delicate and luxuriant, dexterity and novelty. Grotesque taotie pattern is not suitable for decorating daily life, has ceased to exist, replaced by a variety of small hornless snakes interspersed with each other, overlapping, in the form of quadrilateral continuous unfolding chi dragon pattern. It is similar to the political and economic entanglements between the vassal states at that time. This period of frequent wars, also makes people from the concern for nature to focus on human society and its own destiny, in the bronze ornamentation appeared in a single painting of the chapters of the performance of society, personnel content, subjects, such as banquets and music, attacking the war, picking mulberry, etc., to silhouette the form of the composition of the frame, vivid, rich, very decorative. In short, the evolution of the function of the bronze vessel type, decoration has undergone a revolutionary change.
Bronze Yi, ritual vessels and their decorations, with the loss of the political and religious significance of its load and extinction. When the piety and specific worship concepts no longer existed, the mysterious and fierce animal decorations represented by taotie motifs lost their basis of existence. The change of the relationship between human and animals and the change of the function of the bronzes had an important influence on the evolution of Shang and Zhou bronzes decoration. In addition, the evolution of Shang and Zhou bronze decoration is also related to the development law of decorative art itself, and linked with the creation psychology of craftsmen and the appreciation interest of users and other factors. The taotie pattern disappeared, but the decorative concepts and aesthetic sense it carried flowed in the blood of the Chinese nation for a long time, and had a great influence on the development of art for future generations.
