摘要:

“一战”赴欧华工在做工之余,曾制作了相当数量的战壕艺术品(Trench Art),因其特有的东方风格而受到欧洲人的喜爱,它们以馈赠礼品或艺术商品方式流入欧洲家庭和当地社会。区别于欧洲战壕艺术多为纪念战争标志性事件而制作的特点,华工战壕艺术作品更多采用中国古典符号和民间元素,如吉祥纹、古诗词、神话传说中的人物形象以及龙图腾等,在跨文化语境中,体现了东方文明对战争之物独特的雕刻与重塑,凝结了和合、贵生的中国传统文化意蕴。

In a cross-cultural context, it reflects the unique carving and reshaping of war objects by Chinese civilization, condensing its traditional cultural spirit of harmony and auspiciousness.
