摘要
图像和文本是中国早期知识观念赖以保存的重要方式,二者缘何而生?其性质又发生了哪些演变?归纳来看,早期图像与文字在创作之初是人神沟通的“神圣记录”。文字产生之前,图像是记录信息、沟通人神、凝聚族群的一个主要渠道。文字产生之后,图像的“俗”性上升“,神”性则主要用文字来展现。春秋战国直至汉代,因天子失官、私学教育的开展和挟书律的废除,图像与文本的神圣性逐渐衰退,公众因此得以有机会学习并传播知识。这种从“神圣”到“世俗”的性质演变,是诸子兴起的一个原因,在一定程度上也推动了中国早期经典的生成。
Images and texts are important ways to preserve early Chinese knowledge.Why did they come into being?What evolution has taken place?To sum up,early images and words were originally"sacred records"of people's communication with gods.Before writing came into being,images were a major channel for recording information,communicating with man and god,and uniting ethmic groups.After the creation of characters,images highlight the secularity,while the sacredness is mainly displayed by words.From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Han Dynasty,as the emperor lost his officials,private education and the abolition of the law of banding books,the sacredness of images and texts gradually declined,and the public had the opportunity to learn and spread knowledge.This change from"sacred"to"secular"is one of the reasons for the rise of Zhuzi,and to some extent also promoted the formation of early Chinese classics.
