安阳修定寺历史遗迹中的装饰结

安阳清凉山东南麓的修定寺唐塔,塔身布满装饰结砖雕,四周雕有24串组合结饰。塔基残雕砖中,发现北魏末或者北齐的砖雕上雕有多种组合装饰结,以图像学的方法进行分析,证明"中国结艺发展的第一个高峰"在唐代之前就已经到来,台湾学者陈夏生所认为的唐代出现的十字结、双联结、二耳酢浆草结在北魏或者北齐时期就已经出现。而且当时结艺已经是独立的装饰物,并有多样复杂的组合装饰形式,该发现对绳结历史的研究有所推进。

Knot Decorations in Historical Site of Xiuding Temple in Anyang

Located in the southeast foot of Qingliang Mountain in Anyang, Tang Dynasty tower of Xiuding Temple was covered with decorative knot-pattern brick carvings and surrounded with 24 combined knot decorations. Varies kinds of knot decoration patterns were discovered in the tower base ruin bricks which dated back to late Northern Wei Dynasty or Northern Qi Dynasty. Through analysis to these decoration patterns with iconographic method, the text proved that ＂The first tide of Chinese knot development＂ had already come before Tang Dynasty. Cross knot, double connection knot and two-ear oxalis knot that once thought to be appeared in Tang Dynasty by Taiwan scholar Chen Xia-sheng appeared in Northern Wei Dynasty or Northern Qi Dynasty in fact. Moreover, at that time, the knot had already become independent decorations, with complex combined decorative forms. This discovery made advancement to the research of the knot history.
