写意与中国文化传统

Xieyi and Chinese Cultural Tradition

“写意”是中国古代艺术理论的重要范畴,其背后有着深刻的中国文化传统。在中国哲学中,“意、象、言”在哲学层面上的讨论是一大重点,对“意”的超越性认知与追求赋予了写意理论形而上的支撑。在中国文学中,诗歌、小说、散文与戏曲都有着悠久的写意传统。在中国美学中,写意性体现在对“神”的重视与推崇上,将一切审美对象理解为生命场域下的事物。中国书画的写意技法传统建立在写意精神之上,又反哺于写意精神。

“Xieyi”is an important category of Chinese ancient art theory,behind which is a profound Chinese cultural tradition.Major focus of Chinese philosophy is the discussion of“Yi、Xiang、Yan”on the philosophical level,and the transcendental cognition and pursuit of“Yi”endows theory with Xieyi metaphysical support.In Chinese literature,poetry,fiction,prose and Chinese traditional opera have a long tradition of Xieyi.In Chinese aesthetics,Xieyi is reflected in the emphasis and esteem of“God”,and all aesthetic objects are understood as things in the field of life.The traditional techniques of Xieyi in Chinese painting are based on the spirit of Xieyi,and feeds back on the Xieyi spirit.
