“点”派生的图像语言:通天河流域岩画里的终极实在

The Graphic Language with Point-form Derivative:The Thing Itself of the Rock Art in Tongtian River Basin

点状形式既是通天河流域岩画里最初始的符素,也是最基本的符号。无论是以符索还是符号面目出现,点状形式都具有强大的生命力。作为前者,它是许多其他形式的起源;作为后者,它既是大多数岩画里的基本成分,也是部分岩画的基底。一言以蔽之,正是它在派生出通天河流域岩画图像语言的同时,赋予它以最高的隐喻性、象征性和神圣性。这种自身即目的的点状形式,是一种能感动并激起人们情感力量的有意味的形式。

The point-form is not only the initial symbol elements but also the basic symbol in the rock art within the TongtianRiver Basin. Both of the symbol elements and symbol itself in point-form style have a powerful vitality. As the symbol element, it is the origin of other forms; as the symbol itself, it is not only the basic part of most rock arts but also the foundation in some other rock arts. In a word, it is the point-form thatgenerates the graphic language of rock art in TongtianRiver Basin and endows the rock art with the supreme metaphor, symbolization and holiness. This point-form which has the purpose in itself is also a kind of meaning form that can touch ourselves and arouse our feelings.
