如果我要試圖爲傳統的中國繪畫的特質下個界說,我想我會把對自然、即被描畫的對象的熟悉,和對材料,即繪畫用的工具的同樣的熟悉,稱爲它的兩個基本要素。一個中國畫家决不想畫他所不熱悉的對象划嫛话愕摹豢脴浠蛞浑b鳥,而祇是畫他所詳細知道的。他也不用隨便的一支舊筆或隨便的一張紙,而祇是用那性質爲他所熟知的筆和紙,並且,總是祇用他親自調和的顏色。 If I try to define the world as a trait of traditional Chinese painting, I think I will refer to both familiarity with nature, the object being pictured, and the same familiarity with the material, the tools of painting, as its two A basic element. A Chinese painter never wants to draw upon any object to which he is not acquainted, but to draw the words of a bird, but to paint what he knows in detail. Nor does he have to use an old pen or a piece of paper casually, but only pen and paper of the nature known to him, and always use only the color he himself reconciles.
