唐代诗歌书法共同繁荣原因探微

An Investigative View of the Reasons for Joint Flourishing of Poetry and Calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty

唐代诗歌书法艺术都达到了其发展的艺术高峰,二者之间又能融会合流,共同繁荣,其原因主要在于唐代国力的空前强盛,思想领域内的大力开放,科举制度的以诗、书取士政策,历代皇帝对诗、书的大力提倡,其他姊妹艺术同时繁荣的影响,以及创作主体所表现出的共同艺术精神。唐代不同时期诗歌书法的发展,都贯穿了这种基本的艺术精神。

In the Tang Dynasty, the art of poetry and that of calligraphy both reached the pinnacles of their development. The reasons that the two forms of art were able to gain a joint prosperity by incorporating and joining resources lay in the unprecedented growth of the national strength of the Tang Dynasty as a world power and the open policy to the world of thinking. Because of the imperial examination system which selected officials by poetry and calligraphy, generations of emperors attached special importance to these two forms of art. This encouraged prosperity of other relative forms of art accordingly and stimilated a common artistic spirit of the subject of creation, which dominated the development of poetry and calligraphy in different phases in the Tang Dynasty.
