图腾崇拜——中国传统戏曲服饰的符号基因

Totem Worship: Symbolic Genes in Chinese Traditional Opera Costumes

中国传统戏曲服饰装扮程式以集约化、共识化、契约化为集体崇拜的前提,崇拜的依据是外显特征鲜明且具有不同精神寓意的图腾。中国传统戏曲服饰装饰意味中的图腾崇拜,是将生活艺术化、艺术生活化的观演集约,是人们对生活与戏剧本质的共同诉求,经对生活元素的抽取来组合成一个共识的装扮符号,通过角色的扮演来传达生命理想。洞察中国传统戏曲服饰图腾崇拜的符号基因,以寻根溯源来为设计创新提供因果参照。

Abstraction, common recognition and contractualization are the premise of collective worship in traditional Chinese opera costumes, and the worship is based on totems with distinctive features and spiritual meanings. Totem worship conveyed by traditional Chinese opera costumes embodies “life artistry” and “a general aestheticization of everyday life” in performance and reflects people’s common aspirations for the essence of life and drama. Life elements are extracted and become costume symbols while ideal for life is expressed through performance. This paper traces back to the origin of the symbolic genes of totem worship in traditional Chinese opera costumes to provide guidance for design innovation.
