西夏文献中,无论写本还是刻本,佛教经卷还是世俗的文籍,在页眉、页脚和行文空白处,都出现了大量生动活泼的小装饰,如塔幢、花瓶、水波纹、小沙弥、大雁、莲花以及众多不知名的花草,菱形、三角形、圆圈形和箭头组合的其他几何图案等。探源这些小装饰的来源、意图和功用,无疑是对中国传统书籍设计以及西夏文献刻写和装饰艺术的有益补充。
In the Xixia literature, no matter the woodcut or the script, the Buddhist scriptures are secular ones. A large number of small and exquisite decoration such as tower blocks, vases, water ripples and small sand mound appear in the header, footer and writing space. Geese, lotus and many other unknown flowers, rhombus, triangle, circle and arrow combination of other geometric patterns. The origins, intentions and functions of these small decorations are undoubtedly a useful supplement to the traditional Chinese book design and the art of Xixia literature writing and decoration.
