What is the status quo of contemporary Chinese calligraphy and painting literature? How to further promote the study of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature? The reporter interviewed experts and scholars in the field around the above issues.

Based on the study of calligraphy and painting literature

The Chinese calligraphy and painting documents in history are rich and diverse. They include both text and books, as well as visual images, including literature classics related to calligraphy, painters, calligraphy and painting works, calligraphy and painting activities. Wang Yiwei, a professor at the School of Humanities of Tongji University, said that Chinese calligraphy and painting literature mainly involves praise, quality, evaluation, disconnection, theory, narrative, book, history, history, recording, spectrum, spectrum, posts, etc. The concepts of techniques and aesthetics show their traditional writing model, academic attitude, and research methods, and reflect the historical and cultural background, world style, social life, etc. at that time. Organizing and studying Chinese calligraphy and painting literature not only involves basic work such as compilation, collation, collation, and content of content, and the annotations of the original meaning of ancient books. , Social atmosphere.

Literature is the basis for the research of Chinese art history. Traditional Chinese painting literature is very developed, providing rich materials for painting history, history, and cultural history research; traditional calligraphy and painting theoretical documents also contain rich aesthetic ideas, including the general views and general views and aesthetics of ancient Chinese people and aesthetics. Concept. Fan Minghua, a professor at the School of Philosophy of Wuhan University, said that in the early history of painting, the research of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting literature had a decisive impact on the research of Chinese art history. imagination. In the history of late painting, without the support of relevant literature, we can neither understand the ins and outs of the evolution of calligraphy and painting, nor can we understand the changes in the conceptual changes behind the phenomenon of calligraphy and painting. If there are no documents such as "The Quotations of Bitter Gourd Monk" and "Dajizi Painting Poems", we will not be able to understand the philosophy and aesthetics of Shi Tao painting. "In fact, from the perspective of the study of modern Chinese art history, the advancement of some literature research can even change our understanding of art history, such as Ruan Yan's" Su Shi's "Cost of the Cultural Painting Outlook", through the test of Su Shi's literature on the literature of Su Shi. The identification has corrected our understanding of the development of literati paintings in the Northern Song Dynasty. "Fan Minghua said.

Research system that forms a combination of historical theory

In the first half of the 20th century, with the modern transformation of the Chinese academic and cultural system and the rise of the history of art history, the art historians represented by Zheng Wuchang, Fu Baoshi, and Yu Shaoyong gradually opened up the study of the development history of ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting. Fashion. By the second half of the 20th century, many basic calligraphy and painting literature compilations have emerged. On the whole, the academic circles are based on the collation and examination of calligraphy and painting literature itself, as well as comprehensive collation in history, art, and sociology, and the research results are relatively rich.

"It can be said that Chinese calligraphy and painting documents are increasingly formed a research model of historical theory, and it has been improved to form a painting theoretical system in the context of Chinese cultural. The work is not complete, the scope of research is relatively narrow, and the lack of standardized and systematic academic systems. The research system is not complete and the academic research has insufficient power. The depth, breadth, and literature and philosophy of literature and history are still different. Further development and research. "Wang Yiwei said.

From the perspective of ordering and annotations of traditional Chinese literature, the field of calligraphy and painting is even greater. Fan Minghua believes that in the field of literature and history, a large number of authoritative, commonly adopted, universal adopted school books, comments, and even formation of professional literature or historical materials research branches corresponding to their respective disciplines have formed Subject. In the field of calligraphy and painting, some of the core classic documents have not yet been high -quality collation, schools, and notes, let alone literature.

"In modern times, the most widely circulated documents such as" Art Series "and" Chinese Painting and Calligraphy Books ", or directly photocopy ancient books, or choose books, and there are no schools and comments. It is not good enough to restrict the development of calligraphy and painting research, and at the same time, it has also led to the decline of traditional and practical tradition as a literary examination for the core method of traditional calligraphy and painting research. "Fan Minghua said.

Xu Xiwen, a professor at the School of Art of Southeast University, introduced that at present, the sorting of calligraphy and painting literature in my country is mainly concentrated in the ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting literature with the origin of calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and painting activities, the works of the works, biography, and the evolution of calligraphy and painting genres, and the compilation of basic reference books, but have not yet formed a system of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature.

Interpretation of the history of painting and calligraphy

Calligraphy and painting literature includes the literature of what is painting, the literature related to painting products, and the literature of the historical facts of painting. The research of art history is not a history of literature, nor is it simply the study of historical matters. The value of the study of calligraphy and painting literature is reflected in the research on the problems of calligraphy and painting and many factors such as the influence or influence of other works.

"Researchers should start from the time and historical structure of the time formed by the literature, and interpret the history of the history of painting and calligraphy. This is the path of research needed by art history." Xu Xiwen said , To clarify the academic thoughts and historical systems of Chinese art history, place calligraphy and painting literature in the space and time of specific history, thereby constructing the research methods and discourse systems of art history with Chinese characteristics, from ancient literature to painting and painting works. To confirm, students in art colleges can truly understand and grasp the nature and significance of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting through the study of Chinese art history. At present, while expanding our field of art history, while expanding our field of art, there are also problems such as inconsistency, strict argument, and excessive interpretation of the examination. Fan Minghua believes that further promoting the research and research of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature, on the one hand, we must adhere to the traditional literature examination in traditional painting research and effectively promote the improvement of the research level of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature; Cooperation of literature and literature. Classical literature and literature disciplines have profound traditional accumulation of primary schools. Many concepts and allusions involved in calligraphy and painting literature are connected with literature. In cooperation with them, it can effectively improve the level and efficiency of calligraphy and painting literature.

The consolidation and research of calligraphy and painting literature is a multi -oriented and comprehensive discipline activity, involving the basic category, conceptual definition, value and influence of calligraphy and painting literature. Talking about how to promote the collation and research of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature, Wang Yanwei said that the collection and research of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature must not only collect, examine, compile, comment And on the basis of fully tapping new materials, return and focus on the historical development of Chinese art history and theoretical methods. She suggested that on the basis of the overall inspection of Chinese calligraphy and painting literature, gradually conducting case research, systematically examined the history of Chinese art history in a special historical period, revealed the diversified interaction relationship between art and society, integrated the perspective of multidisciplinary research, and constructed a collection of "knowledge history history. , Understand history, theory of history, and use history ", the combination of history theory and academic research characteristics of ancient and modern, thereby further promoting the discipline construction of painting and calligraphy literature research.
