文人砚的实用价值和审美标准

Practical Value and Aesthetic Standard of Literati Inkslab

砚是中华文明的重要载体之一,是中国传统文化的结晶。砚刻与其他雕刻门类最大的不同是用途。砚是文房用品,是旧时书写者离不开的工具,砚又是基于实用而超越实用的艺术载体。由于审美很难量化,我们在评价砚刻的水准时,会说某某作品很“雅”,可“雅”是什么呢?还会常常提到“文气”二字。可“文气”又该如何呈现呢?

The biggest difference between inkslab carving and other types of carvinglies in the usage. As a type of stationery accessory, inkslab was indispensable for writers in the past. This art carrier is based on practical value and goes beyond the practical value.
