作品賞析 Artwork Appreciation
尼采曾隱喻蜘蛛，描繪理性系統之下，所有事物均被收納其下、各有其屬。
蜘蛛在中國民間是一吉祥的象徵；民間俗稱蜘蛛為「喜蛛」；唐朝「壁錢」是在牆上畫一蜘蛛從網上垂吊而下圖案，寓意「喜從天降」。八足也是其特徵，以蜘蛛為茶壺象徵滿足長樂，喜從天降，八方雲集。蜘蛛壺底部安裝磁鐵，藉由磁力吸附於蛛網上。
Nietzsche uses the metaphor of the spider to suggest that everything forms part of a rational system.
The spider is an auspicious symbol in Chinese folk culture. In the Tang Dynasty, the “wall spider” is a picture on the wall where a spider is hung from a cobweb, symbolizing “happiness from the heavens.” With its eight legs, the spider as the tea pot symbolizes contentment, lasting joy, and happiness from heaven. The spider pot features a magnet on the bottom so that it can be attached to the cobweb.
