我国古代漆器的经典著作——论《髹饰录》

A study of a classic work on lacquer in ancient China

《髹饰录》极为典型地反映了我国古代手工造物的独到思想:天人合一的哲学观,精致尚古的审美观和敬业、敏求的工匠精神。它是中晚明装饰风和复古风弥漫的产物,是中晚明理论研究注重实证的成果,其中有西方人文复兴、科技革命的反响。《髹饰录》的贡献是划时代的,但作为四百年前的工匠著作,亦有其不可避免的时代局限和个人局限。

With a brief introduction of the spread and different versions of the classic work Records of Lacquerwork,this paper makes an analysis of the philosophy that man is an integral part of nature,the aesthetic perspective that advocated exquisiteness as well as simplicity,the agile and creative style of craftsmen,pointing out the epoch-making contribution as well as the limits due to the times and individual.The Records of Lacquerwork was the product of decoration style and traditional pursuit,and it was also the result of stressing experimental analysis in theoretical research of the middle and late Ming Dynasty,involving the influence of renaissance and industrial revolution in the west.In the contemporary world,the cultural connotation embodied in lacquer has surpassed the object itself.
