“书如其人”的再认识

Once Mere Understanding on the "Handwriting Mirros the Calligrapher

“书如其人”是中国书法美术史上一个由来已久的命题,曾一度成为书法史上主流的批评模式。但是,随着书法美学思想研究的进一步深入,对它的置疑接踵而至。此后,持论者往往对其持非否定、即肯定的态度,在对这一命题的认识上始终不能有共通之处。因此,寻其源流,回顾历史,深入思考,找到一个新的视点对这一美学命题进行全面的再认识是十分必要的。

In Chinese calligraphy esthetics, ' the Handwriting Mirrors the Calligrapher' is a long-standing proposition, which once was the main critique mode in the calligraphic history. However, as deepening the researches of the calligraphy aesthetics, people's doubt about itcomes forth. The commenters' attitudes are either negative or positive and they never have a common cognition of this proposition. Therefore, it is necessary for us to have more knowledge about the esthetic proposition through a new angle of view by seeking its source, recalling its history and thinking about it deeply.
