曾国藩书法理想、理论及书法实践研究——以《曾国藩家书》中的阐述为参照

On ZENG Guofan's Calligraphy Ideal,Theory and Practice:Taking the Interpretation in ZENG Guofan's Family Letter as a Reference

《曾国藩家书》集时政评议、军政筹划、鉴人用人、文艺评述、教育子弟等内容于一体。记载翔实,议论精当,被后人所珍视。其中关于书法类论述近百则,体现了曾国藩的书法审美观及其书法理想,对曾国藩书法实践探索具有一定的指导意义。通过梳理《曾国藩家书》中的文献材料,提取其书法理想要点,结合书法作品揭示曾国藩的书法探索,考查其书法实践特点。曾国藩在书法理想上陈义较高,如欲融合柳公权、赵孟頫之长,达刚健婀娜并济之效,追求字体风格貌异神异等,但考查其书法作品,实践水平实未能达其理想之境地。
