拟物立象

　　通过捕捉自然界和社会生活中具体事物的感性形象，加以模拟与提炼概括，创造出艺术家心目中独有的艺术形象。这一创作理念来源于《周易》。《周易》用设立卦象象征天下的万事万物及其变化规律，启发文学艺术通过具体的艺术形象来认识与表达自然界与人类自身。这种思维方式对中国古代文学、艺术理论产生了深远影响，孕育了意象理论。

　　Create Images Through Object Imitation

　　This refers to the process in which an artist creates his unique artistic representations of concrete objects, found in the natural world and social life, by mimicking, refining, and synthesizing their perceptual images. This concept for artistic creation comes from The Book of Changes, which uses images of hexagrams to symbolize all things in nature and their rules of change. The Book of Changes has inspired literature and art to make use of concrete artistic images to interpret and describe nature and human beings themselves. This mode of thinking has exerted a far-reaching influence on literary and artistic theories in ancient China, nurturing the birth of the theory of imagery.

　　引例

　　圣人有以见天下之赜，而拟诸其形容，象其物宜，是故谓之象。（《周易·系辞上》）（圣人用《周易》卦爻来察见天下万物的奥妙，从而模拟万物的形态，选择适宜的象征物来表达，这样的表达方式称为“象”。）

　　Sages use the hexagrams and trigrams described in The Book of Changes to observe the subtleties of all things under heaven and determine what is fitting through the simulation of shapes in different things. Therefore it is called xiang. (The Book of Changes)
