唐代尚法书风的形成及其意义

Formation and Significance of Admiration of Tang Calligraphic

唐“法”是一种特指,它是唐代人追求和树立书法艺术法度,并通过法度反映书法艺术规律,形成书法艺术学习与创作的规范,寻求文化传播等规则的过程与结果。并且随着发展,逐渐成为后人的一种普遍认同。南北书风的合流促使了唐法的确立,初唐、盛唐与晚唐书法在表现上各有不同,这一过程中,唐代的政治、文化、宗教以及社会生活诸方面因素为书法的尚法提供了条件。楷书和草书体现着唐代的书法规则,也是唐代书法的最高成就。唐代尚法书风的形成更是直接受到同时代书法理论的滋养与促进。唐人尚法书风的形成,不仅提高了书法的社会地位,而且使书法成为传统文化的标志,成为一种文化的认识方式而作用于其它艺术,还为后人提供了长久学习、遵循与仿效的范本。现代中国书坛仍然需要唐人崇尚书法的精神。
