从楚人审美意识看楚艺术的阴柔美

On the Feminine Charm of Chu Art from Chu People's Aesthetical Consciousness

楚文化以其博大精深的底蕴和奇巧瑰丽的外观,为文化界人士所瞩目。其中,最为令人叹为观止就是造型独树一帜、色彩艳丽和充满感性想象的楚艺术。楚艺术的审美特征与先秦楚人的审美意识不无关系,大量的文献及考古资料表明先秦楚人认知中充满着母性意识和生命意识,其与同时期北方中原艺术相比较,从审美意象、审美形式和审美意蕴方面都呈现极具个性的审美特征,即阴柔美。

Chu Culture is well known for its profound culture connotation and charming form, especially the special and colorful Chu art of great imagination. The aesthetical characteristics of Chu art are closely connected with the aesthetical conscience of the former Chu people of the Pre--Qin Dynasty. Much literature and archeological information have showed that there have been maternal and life conscience in the knowledge of the former Chu people of the Pre-- Qin Dynasty. Compared with the Central Plain Art in the northern China of then period, Chu art has its own aesthetical char- acteristics, feminine charm in aesthetical image, form and connotation.
