中国动画本体美学:装饰的意指

Essential Aesthetics of Chinese Animation: Ornamental Significance

对于中国动画的造型来说,漫画造型并不发达,最为常见的是民族化的装饰性造型。这一现象与我国特定的国情和文化传统密切相关。如果这样的判断不错,那么对于中国动画片中大量装饰风格的造型又该如何解释?因为"装饰"一词在西方的美学理论中不具有意指的性质。这显然有悖于动画本体美学的基本规律。不过,仔细考察中国民间美术的源流便会发现,具有浓厚装饰意味的中国民间美术其实是传承了意指性的,因此被专家们称为"意向造型"。中国动画片在采用中国民间装饰化造型的时候,对其进行了一定程度的改造,以使其符合电影叙事的要求,中国动画片由此成为了世界动画艺术中非常具有民族特色的一支。

As regards for underdeveloped Chinese animation, the most common is its nationalized figure. This relates closely to our national condition and cultural tradition. Then, how to explain that there is a great deal of ornamental style in Chinese animation.9 Since ＂ ornament＂ has no significance in western aesthetics, and this is obviously opposed to the fundamental law of animation essence. However, if we carefully study, we could find that Chinese folk fine arts which have a dense sense of ornament actually inherit the significance. So, experts call it a ＂ significant figure＂.
