艺品在线2020精品推荐第5期：十二生肖花口八卦铜镜

铜镜是我国古代青铜器中一种非常重要的日常生活用品，也常作为墓葬中的随葬品。它本是古代照面的用具，但从唐初王度的《古镜记》中描写古镜法力无边，能镇百邪来看，镜子又是道教中的重要法器。由于铜镜的形制、纹饰、铭文等具有较明显的时代特征，因此，考古学上一直将铜镜作为重要的断代器物。

Bronze mirror is one of the most important daily necessities in ancient Chinese bronzes, and is often used as burial objects in tombs. It was originally used as an instrument to face each other in ancient times. However, according to Wang Du's ancient mirror in the beginning of Tang Dynasty, it is an important tool in Taoism. As the shape, decoration and inscription of bronze mirror have obvious characteristics of the times, the bronze mirror has always been regarded as an important dating tool in archaeology.

迄今为止，我国最早的铜镜出土于四千多年前的青海齐家文化遗址。之后，铜镜历经西周、春秋、战国、秦、汉、三国魏晋南北朝，至隋唐时达到鼎盛，宋元以后日趋衰退，直至清代中晚期时为玻璃所替代。

Up to now, the earliest bronze mirror in China was unearthed at the Qijia cultural site in Qinghai more than 4000 years ago. After that, bronze mirrors went through the Western Zhou, spring and autumn, Warring States, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, and reached its peak in Sui and Tang Dynasties, declined gradually after song and Yuan Dynasties, and was replaced by glass in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

铜镜背面的纹饰是铜镜的主要组成部分，也是判断铜镜年代的重要依据之一。同时，纹饰的题材图案和铭文从不同的角度反映出了各时代的一些思想情趣和社会意识等文化面貌。

The ornamentation on the back of bronze mirror is the main component of bronze mirror, and also one of the important basis to judge the age of bronze mirror. At the same time, the themes, patterns and inscriptions reflect the cultural features of different times, such as ideological interest and social consciousness.

"八卦"，亦称经卦，乃《周易》中的八种基本图形。每卦由三个爻组成。以"-"表示阳，以"--"表示阴。名称是：乾、坤、震、巽、坎、离、艮、兑。八卦图形象征龟卜之兆，《易传》作者以八卦代表天、地、雷、风、水、火、山、泽八种自然现象。唐宋时铜镜中常饰八卦纹，清早期亦有仿制，器形有圆形、方形和葵花形三种。

The names are: Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and DUI. The Eight Diagrams symbolize the omen of tortoise divination. The author of Yi Zhuan uses the eight trigrams to represent eight natural phenomena: Heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and water. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, bronze mirrors were often decorated with eight trigrams. In the early Qing Dynasty, they were also imitated. The shapes of the wares were round, square and sunflower.
