| 摘要: |
| 自然物品是人类物质生活资料之源,也是人类认识自然及其环境的介质。通过对其内蕴信息的研究,人类不仅理解了它们的演化、结构、成分与分布,增进了对其利用的广度与深度,也籍此理解了自己的生存环境及其在自然界的位置。正是自然物品的这种意义与价值引发了人类对其样本的系统收藏,并成为现代博物馆收藏的两大部类之一。虽然其间的信息并非人类使然,但其意义的生成与确认却与人类的认知活动息息相关。由于自然物品对人类认知的作用是以类的方式体现的,所以收藏物以标本的形式呈现。其中有生命的部分要经历去生命化的处理,使其在原真性方面呈现出与人工制品不同的特征。 |

| Abstract: |
| Natural objects are essential resources for human life and serve as a medium for people to learn about nature and its environment. By examining their inner properties, we have gained a better understanding of how these objects evolved, what they're made of, and where they're found. This knowledge has expanded the scope and depth of their utilization, while also helping us understand our own living environment in the natural world. This significance has driven the systematic collection of natural specimens, establishing them as one of the main categories of museum collections. Although the information in natural objects exists independently of human influence, our perception and interpretation shape their meaning. Since natural objects are understood by categorizing them, they are often displayed as specimens in collections. Living objects, in particular, undergo de-animation to retain an authenticity that distinguishes them from human-made artifacts. |
