| Abstract: |
| The interdisciplinary research dynamics of semiotics makes it necessary for the
original research on the “form-meaning” of architectural symbols to start from the “cosmic
generation model and the concept of time and space” established by early humans and based on
primitive mythological thinking, and to find a holistic explanation rooted in the “form-meaning”
isomorphism of human cultural symbol system. Among all the original ideas, the universe
generation model and the concept of time and space belong to the foundation and core of human
intellectual construction. By comparing the myths of various places, it is found that the cosmic
space configuration with chaos as the starting point, the “axis of the world connecting the three
realms” as the core, and the circular time consciousness with life “death resurrection” as the
main body have a universal influence on the construction of the cosmic space-time model by the
primitive people. They rely on the “creation origin” motif myth and the “heaven worship God
communication” ritual, which have been solidified and inherited from generation to generation,
and gradually precipitate into a collective unconsciousness. This article starts from combing
the theoretical paradigm of architectural symbol prototype research, takes the architectural
characters “house, empty, room, ying, column, altar, platform” and other hieroglyphs that
appear in oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions as the research object, and interprets
the characteristics of the hieroglyphic characters, and examines the process of inheritance and
realization of architectural types, form development and architectural symbols symbolizing
ideographic functions in the pre-Qin period. It seems that the rules of early architecture are also
related to and confirmed by human assumptions about the rules of the universe. Maybe they
are all subject to the primitive people’s design of “an original structure” of time and space, and
many forms created by human beings are only “different variations of a box of basic themes”.
From the perspective of mythology, ancient Chinese characters and architecture noumenon,
this paper attempts to provide a systematic and holistic research idea for explaining the formal
prototype and symbolic meaning of ancient Chinese architectural symbols. Under the condition
that the remains of early buildings are very scarce, this article demonstrates a restricted view
of the “signifier and signified” of architecture as the conceptual symbol of “worship and
communication of the gods” in ancient China, and explores the cultural metaphors and symbolsin the development of early architectural types and forms in our country. |
