| The brick relief is under the specific historical condition product in China ancient times in the art history, it was occupying the small space which could not be neglected, had the important artistic value and the research significance. The brick relief surface is printed with the graph, mainly uses in constructing and the tomb chamber decoration, including hollow brick and solid brick two kinds. China's brick appears at first in the Warring States later period, the volume is huge, the interior is void, therefore calls the hollow brick, makes using of the construction tomb chamber. When to pre-qin, the brick relief further can develop, but quantity are extremely few, the modelling is simple and artless. When to Western Han Dynasty, the hollow brick can be in vogue, still used in building the grave, in which part is printed with the image. When to Eastern Han Dynasty, the hollow brick reduces suddenly, results in vanishes. The Western Han Dynasty earlier period also appeared one kind of small square shape solid brick, also uses in building the grave, it is in vogue continuously to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and achieves prosperously. The Three Kingdoms,two jin's,Southern and Northern Dynasties time, the brick relief continuation is popular.The material object excavates which from the extant each place looked that, the brick relief distribution, spreads each place nearly, but its main distribution area mainly in Shan xi,Henan,Sichuan three provinces. The brick relief theme is diverse, the content is rich, the modelling is unique, the expression means are different, but existed not one exception actually had reflected comprehensively three province brick relief artistic achievement, has left behind the precious wealth for posterity's research. Any cultural relic all has it to have the process which, the development evolves, the brick relief is not exceptional, it has certain historicity and the regional characteristic in the time and the space, the different time, the different local brick relief both has the relation and to have the difference, thus each local unearthed brick relief has certain commeasurability, only then through compares us to be able to grasp the brick relief systematically, comprehensively the development successional variation process, then understood our country clearly ancient times the social people's living condition.This article through to Shanxi,Henan,Sichuan three province brick relief manufacture method, shape,the distribution scope,the use,the portrait theme content,the artistic style,by stages and the relation and so on does compares the research systematically, after carries on the detailed analysis to discover: The Western Han Dynasty time brick relief, is in Qin generation of foundation the further development, said broadly, has experienced the inheritance, the development and the innovation process approximately. And take inherits Qin's generation of tradition as the foundation, in aspects and so on artistic modelling and manufacture technique all has the enhancement, the portrait theme day by day is also widespread, but still by large-scale hollow brick primarily, also divides the entire brick die India and the small stamp combination presses down firmly the India two kinds continuously. To the Eastern Han Dynasty time, the brick relief uses the carving technique to start the diversification, the theme is more widespread, fine its manufacture, rich content, uniqueness modelling, the being possible be called folk art style model, becomes the Han Dynasty most representative art type, also is the Han Dynasty art spirit important model.In brief, Shanxi, Henan, the Sichuan three province brick relief development from becomes a sequence, between them both has certain relation, like in the time successively inherits relational, the theme similarity, the content overlappingly and so on, and has certain difference, like manufacture method not homogeneity, modelling distinctive quality as well as performance content contemporaneity and so on, but existed not one exception actually has comprehensively reflected three province brick relief time characteristic. Just like art history scholar Mr. Gu Sen summarizes such:"Shanxi Province is our country brick relief source; In the brick relief art development important transition, manifests in Henan's brick relief; But epitomizing manifests on the Sichuan brick relief。"①... |
