物象之观

On View of the Object Image

在没有文字也没有图像之前,人类可能利用物象来表意和记事。这种物象表达方式积淀在一定的文化系统或人群(如无文字民族)中,即形成种种具象的甚至艺术化的形式结构及“修辞”方式。人们以物为信,用物象来借喻或象征,约定俗成地共享某些可表达、可解读和可传播的视觉语汇,并渐渐固化为相应的认知习惯和符号化系统。直到现在,即使是已经使用文字的人群,物象表达仍然是在某些场合通用的信息传递方式。

Before there is no text or image,humans may use objects to express and remember.This kind of object-image expression is accumulated in a certain cultural system or crowd (such as a non-literate nation),that is,it forms various figurative and even artistic forms and forms of“rhetoric”.People use things as a letter,use objects to symbolize or symbolize,and agree to share some visual vocabulary that can be expressed,interpreted,and propagated,and gradually solidify into corresponding cognitive habits and symbolic systems.Until now,even for people who already use words,object-image expression is still a common means of information transmission in some occasions.
