| Summary: | 博士 === 國立臺南藝術大學 === 藝術創作理論研究所博士班 === 98 === The purpose of this dissertation is to study the significance about crafts and body techniques about Chinese gold artifacts in pre-Han and Han Dynasty, trying to find other possibility to understand the material context in early Chinese period by material culture and body theories.
The chapters of this study will be divided into five sections: “review of research and methods,” “knowledge and crafts about gold,” “genealogy of crafts and icons, and cultural exchange,” “ genealogy of body techniques,” and “identification and attitude toward the body.” First of all, I will render in first and second chapter the gold literature, related research and methods, recognition of gold in ancient period and the manufacture of gold artifacts. Next, I’ll point out in the third chapter the genealogy of crafts and form of gold products before Han Dynasty, describing its’ distribution of time and space, and clarifying the phenomenon of cultural exchange. Furthermore, I’ll excavate in the fourth chapter the “body idiom” of gold artifacts reflected from burial context, to clarify the development and influence of body technique of gold in pre-Han and Han Dynasties. And I will excavate the interaction of the body techniques, which revealing multi-phenomenon, among different areas.
Finally, I will also analyze in the fifth chapter the identification of social rank and ideas of body reflected by those tombs with gold artifact. By analyzing burial rank from their scale and contents, we could find that status represented in gold were not normalized in comparing with the official bronze and jades, revealing another secular self-identicication of ancient Chinese aristocracy. And in the part of ideas about body, I will discuss the changing meaning of body technique of gold in Han Dynasty, from the concepts of Confucianism’s ritual body, of Taoism’s Qi 氣body, of Yin Yangjia’s opinion about unity between supernature and human being, and of the self-conservation thoughts arising in Han period.
