徽州木雕视觉元素的修辞手法及叙事价值

Rhetoric and Narrative Value of Visual Elements in Huizhou Woodcarvings

徽州木雕是一项珍贵的历史文化遗产,其中蕴含丰富的视觉元素,是当代学者研究古徽州社会变迁与经济文化的活字典。通过整理当下徽州木雕的研究现状,结合叙事学与修辞学,选取与解读典型木雕案例,分析图像、图案与文字三种视觉元素的叙事功能,视觉元素运用夸张、对偶、借喻等修辞手法,达到突出叙事事件、构建叙事美学、强化叙事语境的作用,进而总结徽州木雕对于叙事主体、客体与本体的叙事效用。文章旨在透过徽州木雕中视觉元素运用的修辞手法,分析中国古人运用多维材料叙述中国故事的路径,以期为现代雕刻与绘画等视觉类艺术作品最大化利用视觉元素的叙事性来体现作品的内涵与价值提供参考。

Huizhou woodcarving is a precious historical and cultural heritage, which contains rich visual elements. It is a living dictionary for contemporary scholars to study the social changes and economic culture of ancient Huizhou. By sorting out the current research status of Huizhou woodcarvings, combining narratology and rhetoric, this paper selects and interprets typical woodcarving cases, and analyzes the narrative functions of three visual elements of images, patterns and words. The visual elements use rhetorical methods such as exaggeration, duality and metonymy to highlight narrative events, construct narrative aesthetics, and strengthen narrative context, and then summarize the narrative effects of Huizhou woodcarvings on narrative subjects, objects and noumenon.This paper aims to analyze the path of Chinese ancients using multidimensional materials to narrate Chinese stories through the rhetoric of visual elements in Huizhou woodcarvings, in order to provide reference for modern sculpture and painting and other visual art works, and maximize the use of narrative visual elements to reflect the connotation and value of works.
