摘要
绿松石器和玉器有着相近的物理和社会属性,且都作为中国传统文化代表性元素。本文认为中国古代绿松石器的发展,经历了串饰、礼器、粗装饰、精装饰等四个不同的发展阶段,其早期发展趋向礼仪化,较晚则趋向宝石化。除了二里头的绿松石龙、牌饰作为礼器之外,类似兽面构图的礼器一直延续到中商时期。绿松石的装饰性,不仅在早期国家阶段的礼器,在其他类别的绿松石器,也一直表现出礼仪性。
Turquoise objects and jade share similar physical properties and social meanings,and both serve as representative elements of traditional Chinese culture.The present paper argues that the development of turquoise objects in ancient China underwent four stages of development,which were characterized by the use of a string of beaded objects,ritual objects,roughly decorated objects,and finely decorated objects,respectively.The early development strongly emphasized the ritual significance of turquoise objects while the later development paid more attention to the gem nature of turquoise.The turquoise dragon and plaque ornaments unearthed at the site of Erlitou were used as ritual objects,and so were the objects with animal face motifs,a practice that continued into the middle Shang period.The decorative nature of turquoise is noticed on ritual objects of the early states and in the meanwhile,the ritual significance is also noticed in turquoise objects serving other purposes.
