从六国文字的笔法继承看楷书萌芽问题

Views on the Sprout of Regular Script Inherited from the Writing Method of Six States

学界大都都认为楷书萌芽于汉末,并继承了六国文字笔法。笔法的传承理应具有时间上的连续性,既然楷书笔法与六国古文笔法一脉相承,楷书萌芽应当在六国文字被消灭不久后的西汉出现,这与众多学者的楷书萌芽"汉末说"矛盾。文字学界历来轻视笔法研究,对楷书问题的研究明显不足。从笔法研究的视角切入,汇总学界对于楷书的判断标准,结合近年新出土的简帛资料,可得出楷书萌芽最晚在西汉中期已经出现的结论。

Most scholars think that regular script has sprouted in the end of Han Dynasty and inherited the writingmethod of six states. The problem is that the inheritance of brushwork should have continuity in time. Since the regular script is in line with the ancient Chinese calligraphy of six states, the sprout of regular script should appear in theWestern Han Dynasty after the sixstate script was eliminated. This is contradictory with the sprout of regular script inthe end of Han Dynasty which is supported by many scholars. There has always been neglect of the study of brushwork in the calligraphy field. Therefore, the study of regular script is obviously insufficient. In the visual of brushwork research, this paper summarizes the judgment standards for regular script in the calligraphy field. In light of thenewly unearthed materials in recent years, the author concludes that the sprout of the script have emerged in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty at the latest.
