论禅宗美学与中国书法的内在理路之融通

On Intrinsic Logic of Dhyana Esthetics and Chinese Calligraphy

关于禅宗和书法关系的研究,一般从禅宗和书法的相互影响去切入。本文尝试从另外一种角度,即禅宗美学的特质和中国书法艺术的内在理路的相通之处去研究。禅宗美学主要有四个特质:自由之美、空寂之美、圆融之美和顿悟之美,而这些在书法(无论是创作还是理论)的理路中都能找到。

Generally speaking, the research on the relationship between the Dhyana and the calligraphy is started with the interaction between the Dhyana and the calligraphy. This article attempts to understand it from another angle, namely from the intrinsic logic of the special characteristic of the Dhyana esthetics and the Chinese calligraphy art. The Dhyana esthetics mainly has four special characteristics including beauty of freedom, beauty of ＂silence＂, beauty of ＂balance and harmony＂, and beauty of satori, and all of these in the intrinsic logic of calligraphy （either creation or theory）, can be found.
