“绝地天通”与作为政治媒介的陶器:“政治—传统—主体”的维度

"Jue Di Tian Tong"and Pottery as a Political Medium:Dimension of"Politics-Tradition-Subject"

本文以政治媒介为研究视角,在“绝地天通”的传统中探寻陶器媒介的诞生及其功能展演,把握华夏媒介的文化深层脉络。在古人的早期政治媒介实践中,天命和血统的传统观念为政治合法性提供了一条以宗教为媒的进路,进而塑造了礼器的媒介形态和信息传递方式。宗教和礼器所生产的政治规范“王权神授”和“藏礼于器”又成为政治生活中的新传统,从而深刻影响着中国人的媒介态度和政治观念。以“政治—传统—主体”作为维度,能够更好地理解传统媒介的政治偏向和社会文化属性。

This paper explores the birth of the pottery medium and its functional evolution in the"Jue Di Tian Tong"through the perspective of political media,and grasps the cultural depths of Chinese media.In the early political media practice of the ancients,the traditional concept of Mandate of Heaven and lineage provided a path to political legitimacy by using religion as a medium,which in turn shaped the media form of ritual vessels and the way messages were transmitted.The political norms produced by religion and instruments of Li,"Divine Kingship"and"hiding rituals in instruments,"became new tradition in political life,thus profoundly influencing Chinese media attitudes and political concepts.Taking"politics-tradition-subject"as a dimension,we can better understand the political bias and socio-cultural attributes of traditional media.
