提 要：在以圆或圆周为艺术设计或审美观照“单元格”的器物造型中，“右旋律”或“顺时针律”广泛地存在，使用频率大大地高于左旋。中国史前仰韶、龙山等文化谱系中的彩陶器，多于瓶、罐、壶、盘、钵的沿口、底部、腹肩部施绘，其右旋的倾向尤为明显。这意味着中国艺术在起源阶段就开始积淀右旋的规则或模态。这种倾向在秦汉以后的造型艺术乃至璇玑图回文诗中得到更充分的发展。本文对这一现象的表征、构成要素及特点做初步描述与分析。

Abstract:The “right-hand turn law” (or “clockwise law”) widely exists on the artifacts which applied circles or circumferences as “units” of art design or aesthetic sight, and the law was used much more than the “left”. As for the faience from Chinese prehistoric cultural heritage such as Yangshao, Longshan cultural lineage, they were mostly painted on the mouth, the bottom, the shoulder and the belly of the bottles, vessels, pots, plates and bowls. The “right-hand turn law” was clearly shown. This is to say, the “right-hand turn law” was rooted as a “rule” or “model” since the very beginning of Chinese art. It got matured in plastic arts after the Qin and Han dynasties. In this study, the representation, constituent elements and characteristics of this phenomenon will be depicted and analyzed in brief.
