中国文人人格的文化特质与山水画艺术

The Cultural Characteristic of Chinese Ancient Scholar's Personality and Chinese Landscape Painting

作为创造与传承民族文化的主要力量,中国古代文人最引人注目的文化活动就是对“仕途”的执著和对艺术、尤其是山水画艺术的痴迷。与其对仕途的执著相对应,中国古代文人对山水画创作的迷恋也远远超过了通常意义上所理解的审美范畴。其间一定有更深层的文化与社会心理的原因。探究这些深层原因,不仅可以了解中国传统文化的人格特征、把握中国古代文人以及山水画家人格的深层机制,而且有助于我们从更深层次上理解中国艺术创作的本质和中国人的艺术精神,汲取当代艺术创造的文化动力。

As the mainstream to create and hand down the national culture, the Chinese ancient scholars have their most temarkable cultural activity that is, the perseverance for the official career and the infatuation for art, especially for Chinese landscape painting. Compared to their perseverance for the official career, the Chinese ancient scholars＇ infatuation for the creation of Chinese landscape painting is far beyond the aesthetic judgement category in the traditional sense. There must be more profound cultural and social psychological reasons. To explore those profound reasons can not only help to understand the personality characteristic of Chinese traditional culture and grasp the deep mechanism of Chinese ancient scholars and landscape painters＇ personality, but also enable us to understand more deeply the essence of Chinese art creation and Chinese art spirit, and draw on the cultural power of modem art creation.
