西周玉器的审美特征

西周玉器造型上仍保留了原始玉雕的特色,呈现平面化的倾向,它们以线为主,且内敛规整,尤其表现在动物型写实玉器中,成组佩玉也开始出现;纹饰上继承商代仍以阴刻线为主,但线条较商流畅婉转,一面坡纹和双勾线纹开始运用成熟,借助流畅而多变的线条表现出它的形神统一,气韵生动;风格上由祭祀型向礼仪性转化,因物赋形,因形饰纹,纹饰和造型之间搭配和谐自然,整体呈现出"错彩镂金"和"自然可爱"两种不同风格。在发展历程中,其神秘狂热、勇猛尚武的宗教文化印记逐渐被温文尔雅、中和静穆的人间礼乐文化所取代,对后世产生了深远的影响。

The Aesthetic Character of Jadeware in the Western Zhou Dynasty

Jadeware in the Western zhou Dynasty remained the original jade sculpture's feature in shape.Being regular and intelligent but unassuming,they presented the plane trend and gave first place to lines,especially in the animal-realistical jades,and pairs of jade pendants began to appear.These jades inherited Shang's style and still relied mainly on negative lines,but the lines were smoother and milder.? Having the aid of the smooth and changeable lines,the spirit's vividness and unity between shape and spirit of the jades were demonstrated cleanly.Their styles changed from sacrifice to etiquette.The collocation between engraved pattern and shape was harmonious and natural.These jades presented two different styles of being colourfully and dazzlingly embellished and being natural and lovely.During the progress of its development,its mysterious,fanatic,military-spirited religious culture was replaced by the gentle and solemn culture of rites and music step by step.It influenced the later generations profoundly.
