原型、母题在艺术主题学体系中的关系研究

Relationship between prototype and motif in the system of art theme

对中国传统艺术母题与主题学体系的探讨,必然涉及对这个体系中的“原型”探讨。母题、意象模式所构成的形象以及它们的移动与空间关系,是构成中国传统艺术母题与主题学体系的基本要素,艺术母题、主题在历时性的流变中,隐喻模式的母题、意象从某一“认知域场”投射到另一“认知域场”的相应主题并不一定呈现相同的面貌。艺术家对母题、意象、主题有不同的理解或自我设想,对母题的认知与处理必然发生改变。但是母题的原型是恒定的,因而阐释者或阅读者必须把握住历时性中流变的母题、母题意象的原型,才能揭橥主题变迁是由于母题和原型内在演变动因的结果。为此“原型”也应该在母题、主题学体系中才显示价值与意义。

No one canexplore motif and thematic system of Chinese traditional art without touching upon prototype.The images formed by motif and image pattern,as well as their movement and spatial relations,are the basic elements of the system of motif and thematology of traditional Chinese art.The motif and image of the metaphor pattern projected from one“cognitive field”to another“cognitive field”do not necessarily have the same appearance.Because artists have different understanding or self-imagination of motif,image and theme,their cognition and treatment of motif accordingly vary.However,the prototype is constant,so interpreters or readers should consider the prototype of the motif and the image of the motif in diachronic change.This reveals that the change of motif is the result of the evolution of motif and prototype.
