The Coding Self-Consciousness of Ancient Chinese Culture——Taking the Book of Changes as an Example

文化符号学视野中的中国文化大传统具有高度的文化编码自觉性。《周易》中包含了一套完整的文化编码与解码程序,不仅深刻揭示出中国传统文化发生的过程及原理,也说明古代中国的文化编码活动在先秦时期就已进入自觉状态。"卦爻象"作为文化编码和解码的关键,主要遵循"立象尽意"的思维原理,正是它确立并强化了中国文化的"象"思维特征。

There is cultural coding self--consciousness of high degree in the great tradition of Chinese culture in the vision of cultural semiotics. The Book of Changes,which contains a complete set of cultural encoding and decoding process,not only profoundly reveals the process and principle of traditional Chinese culture, but also shows that cultural coding activities of ancient Chinese culture has already gone into the self--conscious state in the pre--Qin period. As the key of cultural encoding and decoding , ＂lines and hexagrams＂mainly follows the think- ing principle of＂making sense by image＂. It is the principle that establishes and strengthens the ＂image＂thinking characteristic of Chinese culture.
