中国古代藤家具的形态挖掘及特征提取

Morphology Digging and Characteristics Extracting of Chinese Ancient Rattan Furniture

目的为弥补中国家具史研究中关于藤家具研究的缺失,从浩瀚的史料中挖掘出关于中国古代藤家具形态的珍贵信息,并提取其特征。方法将案例分析法和扎根理论法相结合,从大量文字、绘画和实物照片中,检索和筛选出藤家具案例,对此进行分类,并抽取其中的关键要素。然后通过对不同类型的藤家具案例进行特征分析,提取中国古代藤家具的使用特征和审美特征。结果提炼出藤墩、木框架藤坐具、竹框架藤坐具、藤橱柜和藤器物等5类藤家具的典型案例,分别得到各类家具的案例,即特征矩阵。据此,从不同案例、不同家具类型、不同特征类型3个维度,提取中国古代藤家具的综合性使用特征和审美特征。结论中国古代藤家具具有文气而亲民、环保而实用、轻便而廉价等使用特征,天然而工巧、简洁而多变、民俗而雅致等审美特征。这些特征对当代藤家具设计具有重要的启示作用。

It aims to make up for lack of researches of Chinese furniture history on rattan furniture that is a kind of wicker furniture, some valuable information about the morphology of ancient Chinese rattan furniture is being dug out from a vast historical data. And its characteristics are extracted. Combining case analysis method with grounded theory, some cases of rattan furniture are sought out and filtrated from a lot of texts, paintings and pictures, by which rattan fur- niture is classified and its key factors are extracted successively. Then the usage and aesthetics characteristics of ancient Chinese rattan furniture are explored by analyzing the features of each type of the furniture cases. Some typical cases are extracted from five-type rattan furniture respectively in rattan pier, wood-frame rattan seat, bamboo-frame rattan seat, rattan cabinet and rattan implements. So five case-characteristic matrixes are obtained corresponding to the five types of rattan furniture. Hereby, synthetic usage and aesthetics characteristics of ancient Chinese rattan furniture are extracted in three dimensions of different cases, different furniture types and different characteristic types. Ancient Chinese rattan fur- niture has the usage characteristics as follows： culture-rich and civilian-friendly, environment-protection and practical, portable and low-cost. Meanwhile it also has the aesthetics characteristics as follows： natural and exquisite, succinct and protean, folk-custom and elegant. These characteristics give some important enlightenment for rattan furniture design in the contemporary era.
