西周陶器的审美特征

Aesthetic Characteristics of Xizhou Pottery

西周陶器对传统纹饰进行夸张、变形、简化,具象写实化为抽象写意,形成一种抽象几何纹。而复合法的运用,统一中见变化,变化中见和谐。西周先民对自然大化的生命和形式法则的自觉体认和把握,在造型和纹饰上追求一种圆满具足的审美效果;而礼制文化的严格限制,又使得西周陶器呈现出规范化和程式化的倾向,风格上表现为一种端庄大方、中庸静穆的特征,而有限的形式规范却指向无限的审美意蕴和生命追求。

Xizhou pottery exaggerates, deforms and simplifies the traditional ornaments. Concrete realistic painting changes into abstract freehand brushwork and forms a kind of abstract geometry lines. With compound methods, change and unification is intermingled in harmony. Xizhou forefathers pursue aesthetic perfection in shape and ornament while for confinement of etiquette culture Xizhou pottery shows the tendency of standardization and stylization with elegant, mean and solemn style and the limited standard of forms directs to the boundless aesthetic implication and pursuit of life.
