关于“书画同源”之“源”的思考

On the Origin of "the Same Origin of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting"

"书画同源"思想涉及到中国文字与绘画在起源上是否相通的问题,唐代张彦远率先阐述了文字与绘画同源的观点。对张彦远观点进行详尽的分析,以此为依据,对汉字的来源——"图画"进行研究,通过对"图画"进行范畴的界定,明确阐释了"图画"与"绘画"的异同,反驳了文字起源于绘画的学说。对八卦的系统说明,证明了八卦与绘画、文字不属于同一系统,也就驳斥了文字与绘画起源于八卦的说法,最终得出文字与绘画同源于"图画"的结论。

The theory that presupposes ＂the Same Origin of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting＂is concerned with the problem of whether the Chinese Paintings and characters have the same origin. Zhang Yanyuan of the Tang Dynasty took the lead in explaining the view. By illustrating the differences and similarities between Chinese Painting and Calligraphy, the paper attempts to explore the ideogram-source of Chinese characters and the definition of the scope of ＂painting＂. Finally, it draws the conclusion that the Drawings and Paintings of China and Chinese characters are from the same origin-＂picture＂.
