宋人对古代器物的研究

The Researches in the Song Dynasty on the Antiquities

宋人对器物评判涉及的原则有:一、强调器物的实用功能和制作质量,这是对古代“备物致用”之基本宗旨的重申;二、强调器物形制的合理性,反对乖张奇异,这是对古代“奇巧之禁”之基本原则的重申;三、强调器物的社会效应,以器物对使用者的规范和约束作用为典型,这是对“礼藏于器”的古老传统的重申;四、强调器物装饰的内在意义,反对追求取悦耳目而意义空洞的形式主义倾向,这是对“制器尚象”、“象以载道”的古老原则的重申。

The criterions of Song to antiquities as fol lows: firstly,stressing the functions and quality of the utensils ; secondly,placing emphasis on the reasona bility of their forms and objecting the oddity of them; th irdly,emphasizing the social effects of the utensils; a nd the last,stressing the inner meanings of the decor ation on the utensils while opposing the formalism of pursuing good-looking appearance.
