论中国岩画的取象规则

取象是岩画制象的首要步骤。中国岩画在取象中显示出了几大原则。第一是简化原则。它包括投影轮廓技法、局部代整体技法和抽象化技法。第二是最大轮廓化原则，指最大面积地截取轮廓。这在早期艺术中时常出现。第三是局部凸现原则。它在中国岩画中表现为形体的凸现与位置的凸现两种形式。第四是多点平视原则。它表现了岩画缺乏背景衬托，属于触觉绘画的特征。这些原则的综合运用代表着原始岩画的取象特征，显示了原始先民的取象思维。

On the Principles of Extracting Image in Chinese Rock Art

Extracting image is the first step in forming rock art. There are several principles in Chinese rock art in this respect. The first is simplicity principle which includes the projection profile technique, the part for whole technique and the abstraction technique. The second is maximizing profile principle which is often presented in original art. The third is partial highlighting principle that emerges as shape or location highlighting. The fourth is divergent perspective principle which shows the lack of background and belongs to the characteristics of touch art. Comprehensive application of these principles represent the characteristic of rock art's extracting images, exhibiting primitive inhabitants' thought of extracting images.
