In the field of art, China's ancient theory still has a wonderful guiding role beyond time, space, region, country, nation, class and all levels. Pay attention to Chinese painting? Both form and spirit? China pays attention to poetry? Scenes blend? China pays attention to music? Emotion moves in the middle, so it is shaped by sound? China pays attention to his calligraphy works? Is there an expression in the book? . What is the way of thinking of China people in the field of art? Thinking in images? In fact, in the field of art, within the scope of artistic creation and artistic appreciation, people's way of thinking includes both visual thinking and logical thinking.
Will anyone disturb you? Overlap, interweave and penetrate each other more than twice? ,? Repeatedly overlapping? Think so? Beyond three-dimensional space, multi-dimensional and multi-level thinking form? , is it? Guaxiang thinking? . "I thought China people's way of thinking in the field of art is called? Thinking in images? More accurate. Because in the field of art, there is no meaningless image, and there is no intention not to borrow images. In the process of creating Chinese characters, in the whole process of germination, growth and maturity of calligraphy art, in the development history of calligraphy art and in the multi-level field of calligraphy works research, images always play a subtle role as soul, commander-in-chief and master. This is also the starting point for us to discuss the topic of images in calligraphy works. There are two ways to create our Chinese characters: one is to describe the image; The second is symbolic abstraction. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xu Shen summarized and put forward six methods of constructing and creating Chinese characters: referring to things, pictographs, pictophonetic characters, knowing, transferring notes and borrowing words, which he called? Six books? . Among them, pictograph and signifier are only two aspects: drawing and symbol. " Zhouyi? Copula? Next, "said:? There is a knot in ancient times, and the post-saints use books easily. ? A contract is to carve symbols on wood with a knife. In idioms? Perseverance, stone can be carved? , from carved symbols. "Zhouyi? Copula? Next: Say it again:? In ancient times, the king of Xi family was the king of the world. When he looked up, he looked at the sky. When he bowed his head, he looked at the law and the land. He looked at the culture of birds and beasts and the suitability of the land, taking everything near and far, so he started gossip to communicate the virtue of the gods and the feelings of all things. ? This passage reveals that the whole process of Chinese character creation lies in the meaning of Chinese characters themselves. The creative process is: looking up and down (the suitability of heaven, earth, body, things, literature and earth), "creating gossip (symbols and characters)," realizing morality and feeling (becoming the materialized form of feelings and thinking information that can be understood and understood between people).
Are there any pottery unearthed from Yangshao cultural site in Dawenkou, Shandong Province? The sun is shining, and the mountain fire starts a prairie fire? Tang Lan, an ancient philologist, interpreted the image of "Wen" as? Is it hot? . According to Yu, an archaeologist, there are exactly two kinds of symbols carved on Neolithic pottery unearthed in banpo village, An: pictures and characters, namely arrows; , that is,; That is, the sign of the sky hanging down; Jed. Abstract symbol:, that is, five; , which is seven; , namely ten; That's twenty. In these two kinds of symbols, the symbol itself is created by summarizing and abstracting a kind of things and a collection of various things. It is not like anything concrete, but it exists in everything. It's not like an image. Pictures and words are not specific descriptions of the objective image of things, but only capture some of their most distinctive features and briefly outline them.
Putting aside details to generalize, abstract and exaggerate, this thinking process is image thinking, that is, thinking in images of calligraphy works with essence instead of the end and essence instead of subtlety. As far as the words widely used in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jin's works are concerned, words with strong image meaning are the materialized form of image thinking.
