中国古代农耕图像研究的理念与方法

The Academic Idea and Method of Ancient Chinese Agricultural Image Research

传统中国以农为本,在长期历史发展过程中产生了大量与农事活动相关的农耕图像。目前有关中国古代农耕图像的研究,存在多方面的误区与不足,如主要将农耕图像视为一种可补充或弥补文字资料之不足的“史料”来看待、结合历史“语境”的深入讨论不多、在研究的重视度与广度上还远远不够等。要深入开展中国古代农耕图像研究,必须要加强历史学、图像学、艺术学、农史学等多学科的合作,在广泛图像搜集与整理的基础上,对图像的起源发展、艺术风格、创作与传播“语境”、背后内涵与价值等做深入探讨与分析,而其最终旨归则在于加深对传统中华文明的理解与认知。

Traditional China put agriculture first,and a large number of agricultural images have been produced,related to agricultural activities in the long-term historical.Currently,research on ancient Chinese agricultural images has various misconceptions and shortcomings,such as primarily viewing agricultural images as"historical materials"that can supplement or compensate for the lack of textual information,a lack of in-depth discussions combining historical"context,"and insufficient attention and breadth of research.To conduct in-depth research on ancient Chinese agricultural images,it is necessary to strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation between history,iconology,art,agricultural history,and other fields.Based on the extensive collection and organization of images,it is important to conduct an in-depth exploration and analysis of the origin and development of images,artistic styles,the"context"of creation and dissemination,underlying connotations,and value.The ultimate goal is to deepen the understanding and awareness of traditional Chinese civilization.
