山西太原晋祠圣母殿介绍
晋祠是后人为纪念晋国开国君主、西周武王次子姬虞而建的祠堂，始建于北魏，后经历朝历代重建扩建形成今日规模。在晋祠中轴线末端，是宏伟壮丽的圣母殿。
　　圣母殿背靠悬瓮山，前临鱼沼，晋水的其他二泉——“难老”和“善利”分列左右。此殿创建于北宋天圣年间（公元1023——1032年），崇宁元年（公元1102年）重修，是现在晋祠内最为古老的建筑。殿高约十九米，重檐歇山顶，面宽七间，进深六间，平面布置几乎成方形。殿身四周围廊，前廊进深两间，廊下宽敞。在我国古代建筑中，殿周围廊，此为现存最早的一个实例。殿周柱子略向内倾，四根角柱显著升高，使殿前檐曲线弧度很大。下翘的殿角与飞梁下折的两翼相互映衬，一起一伏，一张一弛，更显示出飞梁的巧妙和大殿的开阔。殿、桥、泉亭和鱼沼，相互陪村，浑然一体。圣母殿采用“减柱法”营造，殿内外共减十六根柱子，以廊柱和檐柱承托殿顶屋架，因此，殿前廊和殿内十分的宽敞。“减柱法”的熟练使用。说明宋代在建筑上已进一步掌握了力学原理；斗拱和柱高的比例适当，避免了隋唐建筑中用料的浪费，在建筑式样上也更富于艺术性。我国的木结构建筑，经历了一个由隋唐的雄壮坚实到明清的华丽轻巧的发展地程，而宋代建筑正是这个过程中的重要环节。圣母殿是宋代建筑的代表作，对于研究我国宋代建筑和我国建筑发展史都很有价值。殿内无柱，不但增加了高大神龛中圣母的威严，而且为设置塑像提供了很好的条件。殿内共四十三尊泥塑彩绘人像，除龛内二小像系后补外，其余多北宋代原塑。主像圣母，即唐叔虞和周成王的母亲，周武王的妻子，姜子牙的女儿——邑姜，其塑像设在大殿正中的神龛内。真如很多宗教雕塑一样，由于仪轨、身份的限制，做得比较拘谨、刻板，精彩之作全在于这群侍女之中。严格说来，42尊像中有宦官5尊，着男服的女官像4尊，总的尺寸都和真人大小差不多。这些侍从都是各有专职，身份、性格也是无一雷同。举手投足，顾盼生姿，世态人情，纤毫毕现，几乎可以给她们每人立个小传。
    左庑东侧第五人就刻划了一个机智灵便，善解人意，见貌辨色，伶俐尖巧的姑娘，是有了相当经验的丫环。可能有人会认为我这个分析有点勉强，因为她们不会说话，又怎么能知道她“善解人意”呢？那么，我们来仔细考察一下，请看她的整个身姿微向前倾，似在较快地迈步，和周围几个人相比，她行进速度要快得多，所以我说她是很“灵便”的，也就是说她是很灵活利索的。她脸的朝向和行进方向不同，似乎有人打招呼，她会立即回头应对，有点“蓦然回首”的意味，所以我说她是机敏的、反应迅速的。她眉飞色舞的样子。所以我说她是个尖巧而会讨好的姑娘。正因如此，也似乎颇为得意，所以我说她“善待人意”。这些看法，我以为并不是我的独特想象，而是这件艺术作品的客观效果。左庑东侧，最后一名侍女则完全和她相反，活现了一个天真妖憨，好像初来乍到，还有点不知所措的少女。圆圆的脸，充满了稚气，很漂亮但似乎毫不知觉，动作姿态十分纯朴。而右庑的第一个雕像却可能是个“领班”。一副庄重矜持、不苟言笑的腔调，显示了她已深得信任，也深感自己职在“捧印”的重要。因此她全神贯注于所拿的“印玺”，一手捧托，一手护持。尤其这护持的手，把怕碰、怕磕的心态表现得十分贴切。
她的年龄也显然大于一般丫头们，稳重而老练，眼神极为锋利，但却含威不露，嘴角有力，显得是个很有判断力，办事果敢的妇女。我们要特别注意，左庑北墙一行最中间的一位。她身材纤弱而风姿绰约，可是双手捧心，神情落寞，好像有着满腹心事，幽恨怨怅，一肚子不合时宜，一看而知，她是位自尊心极强，不肯随和，不会讨好，连人家的同情都会拒绝的姑娘。这种种的心态是通过正侧两面都呈微微的“S”状的大线体现的。而总的造型极为内敛。自上而下都为直线衣纹，与大动态线相一致，也强调了优美柔和中的倔强之气。她的眼神和其他各像不一样，完全是在内省，对周围的一切都不予理睬。更显出心高气傲、孤芳自赏的韵味。这是一件精到的杰作，说明了作者对社会的认识之深，而造型水平已达到了艺术高峰。我还想再举一个杰出的例子。是右庑第二位的一个头顶高冠的中年侍女。显然她已年老色衰，不受重视，她似乎没有了和别人争强斗胜的条件。
    但她却在这一大家里历尽沧桑，她已经看透了人情冷暖和世态炎凉。她的眼睛里已没有了希望和失望，有的只是冰冷的寒意和犀利的洞察。她微微下撇的嘴角说明了她的不满和蔑视。这些表情是十分明确的，是不容误解的。
   我们可以肯定，这些表情身姿所传达的思想内涵决不会是建筑主人的意图，而恰恰是雕塑艺人们的深刻构思。我们看到的其实已经和宗教无关，并且和纪念“邑姜”这位“圣母”也没有多大干系，这些创作纯属雕刻家有感于衷的“借题发挥”。当然，我们也没有必要为这些宋代的匠师们加上什么阶级立场的帽子，但我们不得不承认这组雕塑是现实主义艺术的伟大成就。从中，我们看到了北宋社会的有血有肉、有喜怒衰乐的真实人物，体会到这些人之间的社会关系和由此产生的复杂心态和深刻个性，不管作者是有意或无意。我们同时也不能不表示叹赏雕塑家们的高超技艺，这种深入的个性刻划，这种微妙的造型能力在北宋以前是远未达到的。即使我们放眼世界，如果仅从深刻揭示了人物的个性，提示一定社会关系中的具体个性这个角度来看，那么，欧洲的文艺复兴时代并未达到这种水平。我并不想以此来贬低文艺复兴的艺术价值，他们是以高超的艺术技巧，表达了人类在那时产生的崇敬理想，是高度概括性的，是象征性的，因而也是类型化的刻划。作为社会的、具体个性的描绘，作为“典型环境中的典型性格”的出现，则几乎到17世纪上半叶了。当然作为个性的肖像也早已在罗马出现，但到底只限于王公贵族的肖像，还并不是丰富多样社会关系所形成不同心态的提示。其实，就以现在还见到的宋代人物绘画来说，也并没见到如此深刻的描绘，就是描写社会人情的文学著作中，如宋代“话本”，也并未出现如此入木三分的刻划。我作为一个中国的雕刻家不禁为晋祠的这些雕刻杰作而充满自豪。
