视觉元素在传统建筑构件艺术符号中的应用研究--以门铺首为例

A Study on the Application of Visual Elements in Artistic Symbols of Traditional Architectural Components--A Case Study of the Head of the Door Shop

门铺首作为中国典型的传统建筑装饰构件之一,有着非常悠久的历史,其造型结构和内涵都反映了人们对自然的本质认识和恐惧。文章通过对门铺首的造型结构和纹饰符号特征分析,从符号学的角度研究门铺首的纹样。门铺首的外形轮廓主要分为圆形、方形和异形三种;在构成方面则以点线面为主,构成了虚实关系,通过植物、动物等纹饰来体现宅屋的威严、财富、祈福意义等;从美学特征分析来看,门铺首符号来源于抽象的自然素材。这些符号化的过程,能够对现代视觉传达起到积极的借鉴作用。

As one of the typical traditional architectural decoration components in China, the head of the door shop has a very long history,whose modeling structure and connotation reflect people’s understanding and fear of nature. Through the analysis of the modeling structure and decorative symbol characteristics of the head of the door shop, this paper studies the head pattern of the door shop from the perspective of semiotics. The alien contour of the head can be divided into three types: circle, square and irregular. In terms of composition, it is mainly composed of point, line and surface, forming the relationship between virtual and real. Through plants, animals and other decorations reflect the majesty, wealth and blessing of the house. From the perspective of the analysis for aesthetic characteristics, the symbol of the head of the door shop comes from abstract natural materials. The processes of the symbolic parts have positive differences in the modern visual communication.
