湖南瑶族织锦的纹样类型与造型特征

Pattern Types and Modeling Characteristics of Yao Brocade in Hunan Province

湖南瑶族织锦是至今仍保留经线起花起色工艺的"经锦"遗存,主要流传于湖南江华瑶族自治县和江永县的平地瑶族群中。瑶族织锦主要是用于被面,当地人又俗称织锦被为"八宝被"。在特殊的织造工艺与古老的瑶族文化影响下,瑶族织锦形成了独特的艺术风格。从其纹样类型上看,主要集中在文字、动物、植物以及许多未能明义的抽象几何纹样中;从其纹样造型上看,传统瑶族织锦形成了经向彩条并列、纹样以单元间隔的形式逐一排列的整体外观,其纹样的造型特点趋于强烈的几何化与抽象化。
