摘要

本文藉由對西洋藝術研究圖像學方法的學理，以及相關學者所提出之修正方案之背景基礎分析與回顧，提出現代西洋圖像學研究方法的可能改進方案為何。進一步由這樣的方案，與中國藝術史中的對於漢朝時代的研究學術成果、著作以及實際作品，進行比較。以闡述圖像學方法在中國藝術史研究中值得注意的差異所在，以提供後續研究時之參考。選擇以漢朝為例子的原因，不外乎是漢王朝乃中國歷史上國立強盛、土面積館廣闊、且時代悠久的統一王朝；且留下相當多的文化資產、藝術資材，成為後世藝術創作與文化傳承的淵源之一，其於中國藝術史中具有的文化融合、承先啟後的意義，相當關鍵。另一方面，也較能與圖像學的研究方法，取得相互比較之基礎之故。相信透過這樣的比較，除了能得出圖像學方法在中國藝術史研究中之運用，需要注意與修正的可能所在之外。也能目前對中國藝術史中傳統圖像詮釋的可能誤謬，提出新的復原策略與方案。而這樣的修正方案之提出，除了會對於重新認識中國藝術史，傳統圖像之意義的恢復與研究有所助益外，更希冀能在未來，透過此一模式之討論，能減低當前設計界、文創領域對傳統圖像的可能誤用；並且能對於傳統文化之傳承、教育與博物館的經營，能有經營面的全新貢獻。

Iconology is one of major methodologies of art history. It is also a very common approach in Chinese art history. Especially in Han-dynasty (BC 202-AD 220)3, the age that full with contextual and literal documents for preferences, also there are many works of art has revealed. This offers a great foundation for application of Iconology method.Some famous scholars with Chinese art history in Japan such as 信 立祥、曾布川 寬、土居 淑 子 in Japan, or Martin Powers, Wu Hung(巫鴻)in USA, published a lot of professional works last 30 years.However, there are some basic differences between the conventional of modern Iconology and Chinese art history, which could not be ignored. Such as the most historical documents examples of iconology is ”programme”. But in Chinese Art, as a matter of fact it's merely to say there has similar ”programme” in Chinese art history.Therefore, is it real undoubted that we could application the method of iconology directly without any adjustment? On the other hand, we need to figure out some solution for correcting those probable problems for utlize iconology into Chinese art-history.Further more, it is very common of modern designers in Taiwan, Hong-Kong or China, who likes to apply a lot of tradition icons from ancient china on present days. However, what if we ignore these probable problems of iconology in Chinese art-history, it might cause a lot mis-application of Creative Industry4. As well as for educating and culture passed down.According to above, the motivation of this issue has been emergence.
