金玉同盟——东周金器和玉器之装饰风格与角色演变

On the Confederation of the Gold and Jade Artifacts

除了延续自前代的风格传统与工艺技术外,东周玉器与源自于他类材质器物的启发关系尤其密切,其中金器扮演了关键性的角色。东周金器对玉器装饰风格的影响,主要表现在纹饰布局、纹饰母题以及追求浮雕的空间表现等几个方面。此时玉器和金器在风格上的相互转换与兴替消长,不仅导致金玉材质间的相互置换,更重要的是,它们的装饰形式也因应被模仿对象的材质特性而改头换面,并且发展出新的审美价值和象征意蕴。

In addition to inheriting former traditions, jade objects of the Eastern Zhou period also in- tensely inspired by objects of other materials, among which the gold objects especially played a key role. During the Eastern Zhou period, the impact of gold objects on ornamental style of jade carving has manifested in several aspects, such as the arrangement of surface decorations, the application of special motifs, and the emphasizing of three - dimensional effects etc. The stylistic transformation between gold and jade objects of this period has not merely been the mutual replacement of the gold and jade as material, more importantly, in accordance with characteristic of different material, artifacts made of jade and gold not only passively imitated each other but have developed unique formal languages consisting of new aesthetic values and symbolic meanings of their own.
