首饰艺术何以“兴观群怨”——兼论当代艺术首饰的社会功能

The Chinese Theory about the Social Function of Jewelry Art

"兴观群怨"论是以孔子为代表的儒家经典美学思想。该理论揭示了艺术审美的社会功能问题,在艺术领域内具有普遍意义和代表性。借此也可阐述首饰艺术的社会功能,即分别以兴、观、群、怨喻指首饰艺术的感发作用、认识功能、交流功能以及社会批判功能。在首饰设计与工艺已被提升至艺术高度的今天,灵活运用"兴观群怨"这一东方的、高度概括的美学理论对首饰艺术加以分析,既有利于艺术工作者提高首饰创作的审美高度,也有利于建立符合时代要求的首饰艺术评价体系。

Xing Guan Qun Yuan was one of the classic aesthetic thoughts by Confucius school. It seemed to be a summarization about the characteristics of poetry art,but actually it reveals the social function of art. It is universal and representative and can be borrowed to explain the social function of art jewelry. That is,Xing is about emotional effects,Guan is about understanding,Qun is about communication and Yuan is about social criticism of art jewelry. Today,when jewelry design has been promoted into a high level,how to analyze art jewelry by XingGuanQunYuan theory is oriental and overarching,and is good to improve aesthetical standard and to establish a new evaluation system of art jewelry.
