触觉美及美感的辩证——论书法艺术的触觉美感其三

Touch as an Early and Natural Way in Conveying Aesthetic Feelings

触觉先于视听嗅味四官,是人类最先成长的感觉。触觉被淹没于"四官"之后,并非就真正的"七窍生、浑沌死"了,它源源不断地为"四官"提供着信息与经验,并与四官一道感受着世界,共同创造美妙。触觉作为"心官"的感受器是最真实最本然的,所以中国强调身体的维度,其美学具有"亲体性"。敏锐的触觉被延伸到文化艺术的工具——毛笔之上。

Touch sense is developed earlier than the other four senses in human being＇s biological development. Even after it is emerged into the other ＂four senses,＂ it does not dissolve, but provide direct phenomenological experiences for the other four senses. Touch sense is the most fundamental and natural sense, this is why Chinese aesthetics emphasizes on bodily experience. This embodied experience is extended to the brush in calligraphic practice.
