摘要: 中国艺术具有趋向于音乐化、因而趋向于时间化的传统,书法是取代音乐成为典型地表现中国人时间感的艺术,因此书法最典型地塑造了中国艺术的时间感,这种塑造就体现在“势”这个时间性概念所包含的内容中。书法中的“势”首先也意味着身体意义上的“势”,书法的时间性是通过身体显现的。《说文解字》和《周易》从造字方式的角度奠定了关于汉字之“势”的起源的话语,因而,汉字的造字方式对书法之“势”的内涵具有决定性的意义,并对书法理论产生了深远的影响。“势”因此是理解书法这门艺术的一个核心范畴:通过一种新的阐释,我们可以将书法理解为一门“姿势的艺术”。

Abstract: The tradition of Chinese art has a tendency toward musicalization and hence toward time. Chinese calligraphy is the most typical art form that replaces music to shape our sense of time, as embodied by "shi", a concept of temporality in calligraphy. In Chinese calligraphy, "shi" is presented through the body, and thus temporality is embodied. The origin of the discourse of "shi" about Chinese characters can be traced back to Shuo Wen Jie Zi and Zhouyi in their discussions of creating Chinese characters, which have produced a great influence on the theory of calligraphy. As "shi" is a key concept to a deeper understanding of calligraphy, we can view Chinese calligraphy as an "art of gestures".

Key words: calligraphy, shi, time, body, creation myth of Chinese characters
