论书法的抒情功能

A Study of the Emotional Function of Calligraphy

书法作品是书法家的精神产物。本质上是精神的映照,书法作品凝聚着作者的功力、心血,同时也是其学识、修养、性情、气质的体现。具有抒情的功能,但无论作者在创作之时有没有注入自身的即时情感,在欣赏过程中人们都无法通过其艺术语言直接获得喜怒哀乐等具体的人类情感,人们所产生的情感体验也只是自己组织唤起的抽象审美情感,而且与作者创作时的情感状态并非一一对应。长期以来,人们在书论和实践中把书法创作的抒情功能误解为书法欣赏时对作者具体情感的还原,这种错误的认识只会降低书法作品的艺术价值。

Calligraphy is the intellectual products of calligraphists,which,as a kind of art,reflects the spirit,skills,knowledge and culture,and temperament of the creator.Just like music,literature,and any other artistic forms,calligraphy can also express emotions.But the readers cannot get concrete human emotions like pleasure,anger,sorrow,joy and so on directly through the artistic language of calligraphy in the reading no matter if emotion has been embedded into it or not in the creation.What readers do get is their abstract and aesthetic emotional experience evoked by the abstract aesthetic emotions,rather than those of the creator＇s.People have for a long time mistaken in the studies and practice of calligraphy the emotional function as the emotion obtained through a reviving process of the creator＇s emotions by the readers,and this false notion will surely degrade the artistic value of the calligraphic works.
