A Research On The "Curl Pattern Stripe" In Chinese Ceramic Art

With a long history,China,as the most accomplished ancient country of ceramic art in the world,Chinese ceramic art reveals the wisdom of Chinese civilization from modeling to decoration.In the design of ceramics,there is a regular art form of bending and turning,which is a kind of curling track formed by free bending rotation of points from inside to outside.It is not a standard mathematical model such as a circle on account of free bending rotation.Therefore,it has been utilized in various fields such as swirl ornament of the original painted pottery,return pottery,curly shape of pottery,flower design of blue and white porcelain.These reveal the twisting of art of rotation.However,they are not only appeared in plane decorative space,but used in shaping the decency of three-dimensional space as well.We name this kind of artistic expression as an art symbol of "Curl Pattern Stripe",and the art expressed by this design idea is "Curl Pattern Stripe" ceramic art.The "Curl Pattern Stripe" is not only a design symbol,but also a design thought.In my opinion,the appearance of the art form of curl pattern stripe is caused by a natural process of humanization.With the application of development of human labor practice on the expression of art,pottery began to be applied to the decoration and modeling of ceramic art after its appearance.Ceramic making art has been continuously evolving with the improvement of productivity and ceramic production technology.From the view of semiotics,the "Curl Pattern Stripe" belongs to the artistic symbol.It often appears as an accompanying text in symbol text,because the main text of ancient ceramics presents as the form of function.Meanwhile,arts and crafts are the combination of these two symbol text.In the field of design,the symbol of "Curl Pattern Stripe" is also utilized Constitution principle in the form of point,line,surface and body.At the same time,due to the material and function of ceramic itself as well as the combination of psychological feeling and ceramic,"Curl Pattern Stripe" appears in ceramic art very popular.The design and development of "Curl Pattern Stripe" in the history of ancient Chinese ceramics has experienced thousands of years,from painted pottery in the Majiayao period to green and white pottery in the northern and southern dynasties,and from the celadon porcelain in Tang dynasty to the pottery of the Ming and Qing dynasties.These outstanding ceramic works not only express the variety of the artistic symbols of "Curl Pattern Stripe",but various techniques and rich expression as well.However,these changes are external,subject matter as well as style.The core of that is inseparable from the "Curl Pattern Stripe" utilized as the performance of the law of formal beauty.It can be seen that "Curl Pattern Stripe" is a law of objective and eternal beauty.Furthermore,the subject matter and style are only its coat.The external art style is changeable,but its essence of the beauty of "Curl Pattern Stripe" is unchanged.Since modern time,the diversity of art has reached an unprecedented level in history.Western scholars have named the time we get along with as post-modern time.Post-modernism has provided a vast space for the diversity of art.It also leads to chaos in the development of art.Since China entered the world market after the reform and opening up,the Chinese pottery art began to rise,but now Chinese ceramics,in the world market,is still in a disadvantageous position.The ways to excavate the symbolic art of Chinese traditional ceramic and modern art have become a urgent work.Therefore,the artistic symbol of "Curl Pattern Stripe",rooted in Chinese tradition,is a good reference in this field.It is believed that with the development of time,Chinese modern ceramic art will overcome the post-modern chaos and make big progress its own way.
