《周易》与中国画的审美境界

On the Zhouyi and the Aesthetic Realm Conceived in the Traditional Chinese Painting

天人合一,天文之美与人文之美的同构,一直以来被中国画坛视为创造绘画美的不二准则,是历代画家的最高审美追求。基于这种观念上的绘画既不是摹仿客观外在的自然现象,也不是表达主体内在的情绪意念,而是在更高层次与"一气运化"的契合照应。所以,真正意义上的中国绘画,绝非一般意义的技艺,而是与天地间四时同运、阴阳和合的"真道"。这种独具特色的绘画观和美学观,深刻反映了《周易》"天人合一"的哲学思想对中国绘画艺术的重大影响。

The unity of heaven and human which manifested in the aesthetic theory with the integration of beauty of heaven and earth and human society,always is regarded as the key criterion in the painting creation in China and is the highest aesthetic pursuit of painters of past dynasties.Based on this idea,Chinese painting is neither the imitation of outside natural phenomenon nor the expression of subject inside idea,but is human response to the ceaseless motion of Qi in his mind.So Chinese painting,in its true sense,is not a show of skill,but a blending with the four seasons changing and Yin-yang interaction.This distinctive idea of painting and aesthetics reflects the significant impact of the unity of heaven and human in the Zhouyi on Chinese art of painting.
