常任侠民俗艺术研究述略

摘要

常任侠的《民俗艺术考古论集》是我国民俗艺术研究的开山之作。他在民俗艺术研究方面的贡献主要在于将社会学观点和艺术人类学方法应用于艺术和艺术史研究。同时他对上古艺术的研究极大地丰富了史学家对史料的认识，丰富了上古艺术史研究的资料库。其不足在于，研究大多集中于民俗艺术文物的调查、实证与研究方面，而较少涉及民俗艺术的基本理论问题，但不能因此而忽视他从社会学和考古学角度研究民俗艺术的意义和价值。%Chang Renxia＇s work ＂MinSu YiShu KaoGu LunJi＂ is the first collection about Chinese folklore art science research. His contribution in the field of folklore art study mainly lies in that he uses the sociological viewpoints and artistic anthropological methods to research art and art history. Meanwhile his research has enormously enriched the cognition of the antiquity data, and the data bank of antiquity art history research is also enriched. The shortage of his research is that these studies mostly concentrate on the investigation, real diagnosis and research, while little involves the elementary art theory, however, we cannot neglect the meanings and values of his research from the angle of sociological and archaeology .
