传统动物雕塑的隐喻特征

在我国传统的动物雕塑中，大部分是以象征的意义出现，意义的重要性大于艺术的审美性，动物雕塑总是附带着它所代表的涵义与寓意一同存在于人们的思维意识中，成为了一种符号。人们见到某种动物形象，便在意识中直接将其与隐喻意义等同起来，它就如同一个符号存在于思维中。动物除了象征一定的社会地位之外，同时也饱含着吉祥如意的寓意，因此而使得动物造型在中国各地都广泛的存在。

In traditional animal sculptures in China, most of them appear in symbolic meanings, meaning is more important than artistic aesthetics. Animal images always exist in people's thinking consciousness with their meanings and meanings, and become a symbol. When people see an animal image, they directly equate it with metaphorical meaning in their consciousness, which is just like a symbol in their thinking. In addition to symbolizing certain social status, animals are also full of auspicious meaning, which makes animal modeling widely exist in all parts of China.

1、隐喻生成与传承的社会性和集体性：社会性和集体性还体现在动物造型的传承上。一种动物造型的雕塑样式是一种集体审美观念的实现，它是由劳动人民集体创作的，或者说是由个人创作经济体的响应丰富而发展起来的。只有社会集体的传承才使得一种造型样式、一个艺术门类能长久不衰的流传和发展。就如每年不同的生肖，人们总是会随身携带一件当年的生肖，这种习俗千百年来一直都存在，寄托着人们祈福纳祥的美好愿望。

1. Sociality and collectivity of metaphor generation and inheritance: Sociality and collectivity are also reflected in the inheritance of animal modeling. An animal-shaped sculpture style is the realization of a collective aesthetic concept, which is created by the working people collectively, or developed by the rich response of individual creative economy. Only the inheritance of social collective can make a modeling style and an art category spread and develop for a long time. Just like different Zodiac every year, people always carry a Zodiac of that year with them. This custom has existed for thousands of years, and people's good wishes of praying for happiness are entrusted.

2、隐输意义的象征性和符号性：象征是艺术表达方式中基本形式之一，同时，它也是隐喻的核心。创作者借助某一种具体事物来表达自己的思想，或是某种特殊意义。象征，是用一种符号的方式表现某种看不见的事物，或含蓄的用一件与所要表达的事件相关的物体来进行所指。艺术的目的并不是为了正确的描绘现实的社会，也不是对自然和社会的复制，人们艺术来表达情感，实则是将人的情感符号化，“艺术实际上就是人的情感的符号化投射物。”

2. Symbolism and symbolism of implicit meaning: Symbolism is one of the basic forms of artistic expression, and it is also the core of metaphor. Creators express their thoughts with the help of a specific thing, or a special meaning. Symbol is to express something invisible in a symbolic way, or to imply an object related to the event to be expressed. The purpose of art is not to describe the real society correctly, nor to copy nature and society. People express their emotions by art, but in fact they symbolize people's emotions. "Art is actually a symbolic projection of people's emotions."

每个动物雕塑都有它自己的意义。就如母子像雕塑，它代表着母子情深。古时有句名言，“母爱无所报，人生更何求!”它充分表达了母亲母爱的伟大，现时也体现了儿女孝敬父母的决心。还有一种解释，因为像本身还有一种意思为“平安”，把它送人的话，也就是把平安送人，即平安是福。又如，一些门前的铜狮子，狮子是兽中之王，它在，也就意味着平平安安。此外，它也是权力与尊严的象征。

Every animal sculpture has its own meaning. Just like the sculpture of mother and son, it represents the deep affection between mother and son. There is a famous saying in ancient times, "Motherly love is not reported, and life is more demanding!" It fully expresses the greatness of mother's maternal love, and now it also reflects the determination of children to honor their parents. There is another explanation, because the image itself also means "peace". To give it away means to give peace away, that is, peace is a blessing. For example, some bronze lions in front of the door, the lion is the king of beasts, and its presence means peace. In addition, it is also a symbol of power and dignity.
