唐代扇子意象之文化内涵阐释

The Study of Fans’ Literal Connotation in the Tang Dynasty

扇子与唐人生活息息相关。扇子在唐人那里,既是动摇风生、消暑致凉的物件,又是歌女献艺、轻歌妙舞的道具。唐人在扇面上题诗绘画,使得轻罗纨扇变成唐人挥洒才情的载体。此外,唐人婚娶之时,新娘以扇掩面、新郎诵诗却之。统治者眼中的仪仗扇,是权力与地位的象征。唐代"索扇"制度的创始,顺应了封建皇权不断强化的历史趋势,进一步渲染了君权的神圣性。

In the Tang Dynasty, people＇s daily lives were closely related with fans. Fans were not only things which could cool people during the summer, but also props with which performer made beautiful dancing. In the Tang Dynasty, poetries often composed poems on fans and painters made brushworks on it. During Chinese wedding ceremony, the bride masked her face with a fan and the groom removed it by writing poetries. In addition, fan was a symbol of power and status in the eyes of rulers. In the Tang Dynasty, the purpose of establishing ＂closing fan＂ system was to strengthen the feudal imperial power and displayed the sanctity of the throne.
