关于画品“六法”的出处问题,谢赫已明确陈说。其《古画品录序》有曰:“虽画有六法,罕能尽该,而自古及今,各善一节。……故此所述,不广其源,但传出自神仙,莫之闻见也。”看来,“六法”于谢赫之前已有流传,而谢赫冠诸“神仙”之名,不再广其源流,固有其意旨。首先,此与当时社会神仙道教极为隆盛有一定的关系。“神仙”一词,在《太平经》、《抱朴子》、《神仙传》等道教经典中,已论谈很清,并分有等级,谢赫时代尤指道教,与其它宗教没有什么关联,更不是外来文化。因道教信仰自标是幻想成为神仙,长生不老,故亦称“神仙道教”。谢赫生活于南朝齐、梁之间,其间国人笃信道教。梁武帝萧衍著有大量解易专论,并极为器重方士,对茅山道士陶弘景冠盖相望,书问不绝,常赐药物、黄金支持道仙修炼,“山中宰相”显赫 时。自刘宋以后,尊信道教的帝王很多,上层士大夫争先拥进道教,民间求仙学道更是风起云涌。全国上下掀起信道高潮,道学研究与经书造作也随之极度兴盛。“六法”即于此世风中推出,谢赫假托“神仙”之名乃采用汉魏以来社会所流行的谶纬之术,以适合时宜,追随潮流,求得重视。其次,此意 As for the origin of the “Six Laws” of the painting, Sheikh clearly stated. The “ancient paintings cataloging” has said: “Although there are six paintings, rarely able to do, but since ancient times and today, all good .. ... Therefore, not widely source, but came from the gods, Mo It seems that the ”Six Laws“ have been circulated before the Sheikh, and Sheikh crown the name of ”immortals“, no longer its origin, its inherent purpose. First of all, this has a certain relationship with the very immortal Taoism in society at that time. The term ”fairy“ has been talked about clearly and categorically in Taoist scriptures such as Taiping Scriptures, Baopuzi, and Shenxianzhuan, especially in the Sheikh era, especially in Taoism, and other religions Associated, but not foreign culture. Taoism because of faith is a fantasy to become immortal, immortal, it is also known as ”immortal Taoism.“ Sheikh living in the Southern Qi, Liang, during which people believe in Taoism. Xiao Wu Xiao Yan Xu Yi has a large number of monographs, and great emphasis on alchemist, Maoshan Taoist Tao Hong King crown across the street, often ask for medicine, often give medicine, gold support Daoxian practice, ”mountain prime minister“ prominent. Since the Liu Song, a lot of respect for the Taoist priests, the first scholar-sergeant who first came to Taoism, folk scholarship is even more surging. The climax of the country has been set off across the country. As a result, Taoist studies and scriptures have also become extremely prosperous. The ”Six Laws“ are launched in this worldly climate. Sheikh Hue assumed the name of ”immortals" as the technique adopted by the society since the Han and Wei Dynasties to adapt to the current situation and follow the trend of the times. Second, this meaning
