宗炳《画山水序》所蕴涵的审美精神

Aesthetic Spirit in Zong Bing's Introduction to Drawing Landscape

宗炳《画山水序》的审美精神是迷醉和玄思的完美融合。迷醉是指宗炳对山水之"形"和山水之"色"的快乐体验和深情眷恋,沉思是指宗炳对山水之"形"和山水之"色"的快乐体验和深情眷恋中绽放着哲学般的玄思。这种玄思中有沉醉,沉醉中有玄思的审美体验,不同于我们所说的狂喜或心醉神迷的巅峰审美体验,可以说是一种冷静的快乐。这是中国山水画所具有的独一无二的审美特色。冷静的快乐虽然缺乏热烈、销魂的短暂震撼,但是它却拥有一种深沉而丰满的情致之乐。

Aesthe tic Spirit in Zong Bing＇s Introduction to Drawing Landscape is the perfect combination of enchantment and meditation. Enchantment means Zong Bing＇s happy experience and deep attachment to the ＂shape＂ and ＂color＂ of landscape; meditation is Zong Bing＇s philosophical thought aroused by the enjoyment and thought when facing the ＂shape＂ and ＂color＂ of landscapes. This aesthetic experience featuring enchantment interwoven with meditation is different from what we call the bliss or ecstasy, the supreme aesthetic experience, or it can be said to be a sober joy. This is the unique aesthetic characteristics embodied by Chinese landscape paintings. The sober joy, though short on fervency and short shock of ecstasy, possesses a deep and full enjoyment.
