青铜器纹饰盛行于商周时期,其发展轨迹是商代为幻想动物纹,西周早期为写实动物纹,西周中晚期为几何纹。可见,西周中晚期青铜纹饰发生了较大转变,究其原因,应当受当时社会的礼制、文化等因素影响。而目前学界对于青铜纹饰与文化关系的研究尚浅,且对于纹饰发展演变的研究也相对薄弱。由此,从青铜纹饰研究着手,探讨西周礼制对青铜纹饰发展演变的影响。
Bronze ornamentation has a large change;its development track is fantasy animal patterns of Shang Dy-nasty, realistic animal patterns of the early Western Zhou Dynasty, geometric patterns of the late Western Zhou Dy-nasty. This shows that the bronze ornamentation in the late Western Zhou Dynasty has a relatively larger change;the reason is that it was affected by social etiquette, cultural and other factors at that time. Presently, the study on the relationship between bronze ornamentation and cultural relations is very simple, and the research on the evolu-tion of ornamentation is relatively weak. Therefore, this paper starts from the studies of the bronze ornamentation, and discusses the impacts of the ritual of the Western Zhou Dynasty on the bronze ornamentation.
