论《养生主》思想对绘画艺术的启示

On the Enlightenment of the Thought of"Regimen Essential"to Painting Art

庄子经典名篇《养生主》认为,人们应当养护好自己的生之主——精神,并指出养神最好的办法莫过于秉承事物的中虚之道而顺其自然。《养生主》的思想对于当前的绘画艺术仍然有着重要的指导意义。首先,“缘督以为经”的思想启示绘画艺术应当顺其自然之道以为常法。其次,“庖丁解牛”的寓言故事表明技术对于绘画艺术而言只是较低层面的东西,而“道”才是其最终的归宿。最后,“泽雉”等寓言故事启示绘画艺术的精神内涵与人为的形式设计之间并不存在必然的联系。

Zhuangzi's classic famous"regimen essential"tells people to maintain their own life master-the spirit,and think that the best way to refresh is to uphold the way of things and let nature go.The rich thought of"regimen essential"has important enlightenment to the current painting art.First of all,the thought of"pursuing a middle course as one's principle"reveals that the art of painting should be the common way of natural thought.Secondly,the fable of"The Skillful Butcher Dismembers an Ox"shows that technology is only a lower level for the art of painting,and"Tao"is its ultimate meaning.Finally,the fable story of"the pheasant in the water grass"reveals that there is no inevitable connection between the spiritual connotation of painting art and man-made form design.
