中国文艺理论出现在魏晋时期,关于写意的论述也是从魏晋时期才开始逐渐的出现在文艺理论中,但是在此之前,写意的思维已经蕴含在早期的许多艺术形式中,它的产生和发展都与中国的哲学思想密切相连。本文以历史发展为脉络,结合当时的社会历史文化背景,通过对写意思维产生的渊源以及内涵做简要分析阐述。写意是中国艺术精神中最具有代表性的特点。通过对写意的研究,可以更深入的了解该艺术理论体系,弘扬本民族的传统文化,特别是对今后的艺术创作和文化交流具有指导作用。 Chinese literary theory appeared in the Wei and Jin dynasties. The discourse on freehand writing began to gradually appear in literary and art theories from the Wei and Jin dynasties. However, prior to this, the freehand thinking was already contained in many early forms of art. Development is closely linked with China’s philosophical thinking. Based on the context of historical development and combined with the social historical and cultural background of the time, this essay briefly analyzes and explains the origins and connotation of freehand thinking. Freehand brushwork is the most representative feature of the Chinese artistic spirit. Through the study of freehand brushwork, we can get a deeper understanding of the theoretical system of the art and carry forward the traditional culture of our nation, especially for future artistic creation and cultural exchange.
