摘要

鸟虫书是春秋中后期和战国早期出现的书写在青铜器和冥器上的装饰性文字.以往的研究侧重于文字的装饰性研究,对鸟虫崇拜鲜有涉及.在现有研究基础上,从社会学、民族学及图形学角度出发,着重探讨越国鸟虫书装饰性之外的鸟虫崇拜;论述在鸟虫书构形之中体现的越人鸟崇拜、蛇崇拜意识,并解读这些意识如何体现在鸟虫书之中.%Bird-and-insect script is the decorative script emerging from the mid-late stage of the Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period, inscribed in the bronze wares and the funerary objects.Previous literature focused on the decorative studies of scripts, with bird-and-insect worship rarely touched.Based on the existing research, the article elaborates on the bird-and-insect worship in the State of Yue from perspectives of sociology, ethnology and graphics.It discusses the conceptions of bird worship and snake worship reflected in configuration of the bird-and-insect script, and explains how the conceptions are reflected in the bird-and-insect script.
