中国古代熨斗起源与变迁研究

Study on the Origin and Change of Ancient Chinese Irons

中式熨斗历史悠久极具观赏研究价值,通过对熨斗起源、形制演变内核及背后所蕴含的性别信息进行研究,为传统熨斗研究证史、补史,同时也为服饰研究、古代造物思想等提供新的研究路径。首先通过文献研究掌握了传统熨斗方面最新的学术成果并理清疑问,为进一步研究指明方向。其次,将实地调研与考古研究相结合,从实践角度完成对熨斗起源、刑制及性别关系等相关疑问的实物印证,最后结合哲学相关知识,对熨斗起源的目的及其形制演变的本质进行分析,由此完成对中式熨斗相关疑问的“二重验证”,得出较有说服力的答案。研究认为:熨斗并非起源于商纣时期的炮格之刑而是由更早期的一系列人类活动演变而来;传统熨斗形制以圆底盆型为主,形制变化不大;炭火加热是传统熨斗的主要供热形式;熨斗作为服饰整洁的一环是服务于古代服饰礼仪的重要工具。

Chinese irons have a long history of great ornamental research value,by studying the origin of the iron,the evolution of its form and the gender information behind it,we will add to the study of traditional irons and provide a new research path for the study of costumes and ancient ideas of material creation.Firstly,we grasp the latest academic achievements and clarify the doubts about traditional ironing through literature research,so as to point out the direction for further research.Secondly,we combine field research with archaeological research to complete the physical verification of the questions related to the origin of the iron,the penal system and gender relations from a practical point of view,and finally,we analyze the purpose of the origin of the iron and the essence of the evolution of its form by combining philosophical knowledge.The result is convincing.The study concludes that the iron was not originated from the gun-grid torture in the King Zhou of Shang Dynasty but evolved from a series of earlier human activities;the traditional iron form was mainly round-bottom basintype with little variation in shape;charcoal heating was the main form of heat supply for the traditional iron;the iron was an important tool to serve the ancient dress etiquette as a part of dress tidiness.
