良渚文化漆器初探

Preliminary Study on Lacquerware of the Liangzhu Culture

漆器是良渚文化的重要器类之一,本文从胎质、漆色、髹饰技法和纹饰等方面梳理了良渚文化漆器的工艺特征,并根据出土单位认为墓葬出土的漆器应为仪式用具,填嵌玉石的漆器可能是财富和身份的一种标志,非墓葬单位出土的漆器应为生活用具。良渚文化漆器制作技术继承了长江下游更早的史前文化漆工艺,并有较大的创新与进步。

Lacquerware is a key feature of the Liangzhu Culture.Focusing on body texture,color,lacquering technique,and decoration pattern,the present paper tries to summarize the technological characteristics of the Liangzhu lacquerware.It is proposed that lacquerware unearthed from tombs were ritualized objects and those inlaid with semi-precious stones might indicate wealth and status of the tomb occupant.For lacquerware unearthed from non-burial contexts,they may have served as utilitarian vessels.Overall,the Liangzhu lacquerware not simply inherited from,but also achieved innovation and made progress on,the lacquering techniques developed by prehistoric cultures in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
