指引匠人前行的“七盏明灯”

GUIDING THE CRAFTSMEN TO PROCEED WITH THE “SEVEN LIGHTS”

英国著名的艺术批评家、哲学家约翰·罗斯金在其经典著作《建筑的七盏明灯》中阐述了他对于建筑艺术哲学方面的独特见地,同时为现代烦恼的匠人提供了七大指导原则,也就是所谓的"明灯";这些原则适用于所有在工作中和各种物品直接打交道的人。他认为,对于建筑师来说,颇为有用的七条法则同样可以应用到任何凝聚着人类智慧与体力劳动的其他活动中,用来指导他们的实践活动。文章将以《建筑的七盏明灯》为理论依据,具体阐述七盏"明灯"的精神内涵,试论七盏"明灯"将对现代烦恼的匠人从事匠艺活动所具有的指引作用。

John Ruskin, a prominent British art critic and philosopher, described his unique insights into the philosophy of architectural art in his classic book of The Seven Lights of Architecture, and provided seven guiding principles for modern troublemakers. It is the so-called ＂light＂;These principles apply to all people who work directly with various items. He believes that the seven rules that are useful to architects can also be applied to any other activity embodying human intelligence and manual labor to guide their practical activities. The dissertation will use the Seven Lights of Architecture as a theoretical basis to specifically expound the spiritual connotation of the seven ＂light＂,and discuss the guiding function of the seven ＂Lights＂ on the modern troubled craftsmen engaged in arts and crafts activities.
