"Spatialization of Time":Spatial Metaphor in Natural Time,Social Time and Mental Time
"Spatialization of time"is a kind of metaphor,which uses the way of"spatialization"to realize the under-standing and interpretation of time.There are three kinds of"spatialization of time"metaphor:spatializa-tion of orientation metaphor,spatialization of structure metaphor and spatialization of ontology metaphor.The orientation metaphor works on natural time.It realizes the experience of time by using the quadrilater-al image and realizes the spatialization of time.Structural metaphor acts on social time.It grafts the basic structure of materialization theory onto social time and forms the spatialization of social time.Ontological metaphor acts on mental time.It uses the method of ontological projection to explain the continuous time with spatial juxtaposition,and projects the subject cognition with the core image to realize the spatializa-tion of mental time.The different"spatialization of time"is the different presentation of different stages of natural time,social time and spiritual time.The interpretation of it will help us to reflect on the theory of aesthetic art and promote the progress of the theory of"Sinicization".
