中国陶瓷器物色彩的符号学分析

A Semiotic Interpretation of Decorative Colors on Chinese Ceramics

本文从中国陶瓷装饰色彩角度入手,运用符号学方法分析了陶瓷器物色彩的符号性及其语意的来源,得出中国陶瓷装饰色彩是一种独特的符号,以泥料、釉、加彩三种装饰方式分类,其色彩符号的内涵及外延语意因制度与功能的约定、经济和技术的约定、地域和时代的约定、宗教文化的约定、审美习惯的约定而建立联系。

This paper uses the method of semiotics to analyze the decorative colors on Chinese ceramics as symbols, especially their connotations and semantic sources. It＇s concluded that the colors on Chinese ceramics, whether they are those of the clays, or of the glazes, or of the enamels, are idiographic symbols. Restricted by multiple factors, such as the social system, the function of ceramics, the economy and the technology, their connotative and denotative meanings are specific to the time and region, depending on the religious beliefs, cultural traditions and the aesthetic tastes.
