饕餮纹多变性研究

饕餮纹多变性的根源在于组成它的各器官的多变性。饕餮纹各器官的变形模式可总结为:不同形象同类器官间的置换,器官数量、位置、性质的变化,器官独立成纹以及器官"兽化"。这些变化模式突出表现了饕餮纹各器官的独立性和自由性。究其实质,独立性和自由性的根源在于这些器官来自不同的动物原型,通过"分解—重组"的模式将不同动物的器官集合于饕餮纹之上。而这些动物通常是与祭祀相关的牺牲和巫觋助手,它们具有人神媒介的特性,因而满足了青铜器纹饰用于沟通人神的需要。

The reason that Taotie pattern shows so many different variations is the organs which composed the Taotie pattern are changeable. The change modes can be summed up as replacement; changes from quantity,location,quality; the organs become pattern without Taotie pattern and ＂animalize＂. All of these changes show the organs are independent and unconstrained. The reason is the organs were decomposed from different animals. They compose the Taotie pattern by ＂ Decompose -Reconstruct＂ mode. These organs are usually from the animals which were sacrifice or assistants of witch and wizard. Bronze pattern need to communicate the gods and human,Taotie pattern which are composed by these animal＇ s organs can meet the requirement.
