【目的】研究树木髓心构造及其在美学方面的应用,为树木髓心美学价值探索和开发提供参考。【方法】采用木材解剖技术,分析树木髓心的宏观与微观构造,并对树木髓心进行美学分析和图案创作。【结果】树木髓心横切面大多为圆形,偶有椭圆形、三角形、四棱形、五角星形和花瓣形;树木髓心的纵剖面呈柱状,有空心、实心和分隔3种;树木髓心的微观构造比较简单,都是由初生薄壁细胞构成,细胞形状为大小不等的多边形或椭圆形。【结论】树木髓心组织构造中含有丰富的美学元素,由此可以构建树木髓心美学图案。
[Objective]Tree pith structure and its application in aesthetics were studied in order to provide references for exploring and developing the esthetic value of tree pith.[Method]Using wood anatomy technology,micro and macro structure of tree pith were assayed;then the esthetic analysis and pattern creation were conducted.[Result]The results showed that the transverse sections of piths in most trees were round;occasionally,other shapes,such as oval,triangular,four-prism,pentagon,and flower pedaled shapes appeared.Longitudinal sections of tree piths were shaped as a pole with hollow,solid,or separated core.Simple micro structures of tree piths were composed of primary parenchymatous cells with polygonal or oval shapes of different sizes.There were abundant esthetic elements in the structure of tree pith,which could be used to recreate many kinds of esthetic patterns.[Conclusion]Designing esthetic patterns of tree piths and analyzing the esthetic value of tree piths are of great significance to the development and application of traditional esthetics and wood science.
