《出师颂》的时代和价值

The Date and Value of Chu Shi Song

《出师颂》作为无款作品,不存在真伪之辨,主要是定时代、判定前人诸说之是与非的问题。依据后纸米友仁题跋,本幅唐、宋诸鉴藏印和书法的时代风格,将《出师颂》定为隋人书是可信的。其艺术价值,从前人推测为西晋索靖书,或南朝梁萧子云写,或称“隋贤书”,以及历代著录的赞语评价,可证必出自名家之手。作为流传千余年的隋代名家墨迹,两度出入皇宫的内府遗物,故宫博物院有责任将其征购返宫。

Chu Shi Song is a work lacking a seal but there can be no doubts regarding its authenticity; the main questions hinge on its dating and evaluating the veracity of the arguments of earlier scholars. From the later inscription and colophon of Mi Youren and from the dating styles adopted from Song dynasty authenticating collectors, it would seem that Chu Shi Song is a Sui dynasty work. Evaluating the comments by earlier scholars that it is variously the calligraphy of the Western Jin calligrapher Suo Jing, the writing of the Southern Liang scholar 'Xiao' or the work of a 'Sui Master', we know that it must be the work of a renowned calligrapher. In light of the fact that it is a work by a renowned Sui dynasty calligrapher that has survived for more than a millennium and that it has been held in the palace collection on two occasions, it was the responsibility of the Palace Museum to purchase the work and restore it to its original home.
