清中期“广州十三行”下的广式钟设计研究

Research on the Design of Cantonese Clocks under the "Guangzhou Thirteen Lines" in the Mid Qing Dynasty

清中期,广州十三行成为以西洋钟表为代表的贸易往来聚集地,并带来了一系列的设计。文章探讨清中期(1723-1840)这一阶段,由经济交流所带来的设计融合现象。广州钟表设计以铜镀金的三段式层叠设计结构为主,采用带有吉祥寓意的动植物纹和人物纹饰题材。其中水法装置是广式钟进行活动表演的特色机械装置。深受西方影响的广式钟,这一时期作为主要的钟表贸易桥梁沟通了中西设计文化,同时社会结构变化引起需求度变化,影响对西方设计文化的接受度。

In the mid-Qing Dynasty, Guangzhou's Thirteenth House became a gathering place for trade, represented by Western clocks and watches, and brought a series of designs. This article explores the design integration phenomenon brought about by economic exchanges in the mid-Qing Dynasty(1723-1840). The design of Guangzhou clocks is mainly based on the three-stage laminated design structure of gold-plated copper, and the themes of animal, plant and human figures with auspicious meanings are used. Among them, the water method device is a characteristic mechanical device used by the Cantonese clock to perform activities. Cantonese-style clocks, which were deeply influenced by the West, served as a major bridge in the clock trade during this period, connecting Chinese and Western design cultures. At the same time, changes in socical structure caused changes in demand, which affected the acceptance of Western design culture.
