中国文字精神

文／尚柔／指导•胡天遥

中国的象形文字是华夏智慧的结晶 ，是东方文化艺术魁宝，是老祖先们从原始的描摹事物的记录方式的一种传承，也是最形象，演变至今保存最完好的一种文字。象形文字，又称表意文字，中国的甲骨文字，埃及的文字、苏美尔文字、古印度文字，它们都是独立地从原始社会中，用最简单的图形和花纹在生活中所产生出来的一种象形文字。

Chinese character spirit

Wen / Shang Rou / guidance • Hu TIANYAO

Chinese hieroglyphics are the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and the Kui treasure of Oriental culture and art. They are a kind of inheritance of the ancestors from the original way of recording things. They are also the most vivid and the best preserved text. Hieroglyphs, also known as ideographs, Chinese oracle bone characters, Egyptian characters, Sumerian characters and ancient Indian characters, all of which are a kind of hieroglyphs independently produced in life with the simplest graphics and patterns from the primitive society. 

苏美尔文字／楔形文字

人类从最早史前文明进化到可以用语言和文字交流文明，其中文字的形成起到非常重要的沟通交流作用，而世界上最古老的文字，则出现在距今5000-6000年前，就是苏美尔人的楔形文字。

Human beings have evolved from the earliest prehistoric civilization to a civilization that can be communicated with language and characters. The formation of characters plays a very important role in communication. The oldest characters in the world appeared 5000-6000 years ago, which is the wedge-shaped characters of Sumerians.

苏美尔文字／楔形文字



苏美尔文字与古埃及文字在表象上就有不同，虽然最古老的苏美尔文字与古埃及文字都是象形文字，但两者也存在着较大的差别。古埃及的象形文字是仔细刻画或精心绘制的图形，有时还上了好几种颜色，而古代苏美尔人的象形文字只是一些图示性的、线条式的图形，这些线条只是象征性地表现符号所代表的实物。造成古苏美尔和古埃及象形文字的这种差别的主要原因是书写材料和书写工具的不同。也正是苏美尔人独特的书写材料和书写工具，使苏美尔人象形文字的符号在逐渐简化的过程中，呈现出楔形，并最终完全失去其象形的特征。

Sumerian characters and ancient Egyptian characters are different in appearance. Although the oldest Sumerian characters and ancient Egyptian characters are pictographs, there are also great differences between them. Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs are carefully depicted or carefully drawn graphics, sometimes with several colors, while ancient Sumerian hieroglyphs are only some pictorial and linear graphics, which only symbolically represent the physical objects represented by symbols. The main reason for this difference between ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs is the difference of writing materials and writing tools. It is the Sumerian unique writing materials and writing tools that make the Sumerian hieroglyphic symbols present a wedge in the process of gradual simplification, and finally completely lose their pictographic characteristics.

古埃及／文字

在看埃及文字，文字图形大都是在埃及神庙和陵墓的墙壁及屋顶上，有大量壁画和浮雕作为装饰，现存的很多古埃及铭文就是用来填补和装饰这些壁画和浮雕的。因此，古埃及文字艺术的外观和功能都与宗教信仰及墓葬习俗紧密相连，而且埃及人坚信这些文字与形象具有真正的自然力量。的确，在许多刻写在墓室墙壁或墓葬器物上的文字中，古埃及人认为有必要去除象形文字的某一部分， 比如鸟类符号都被去掉了腿，目的是使那些可能伤害死者的力量失灵。这种认为文字和艺术形象具有魔力的认知也体现在一种叫做“开口”的葬仪中。埃及人相信，通过这种仪式，死者的木乃伊和雕像就会被注入新的生命——在托勒密时期的神庙中，每天早晨似乎都会举行类似的仪式，目的是让神庙墙上的文字与形象复活。

When looking at Egyptian characters, most of the characters and graphics are on the walls and roofs of Egyptian temples and tombs. There are a large number of murals and reliefs as decoration. Many existing ancient Egyptian inscriptions are used to fill and decorate these murals and reliefs. Therefore, the appearance and function of ancient Egyptian writing art are closely related to religious beliefs and burial customs, and Egyptians firmly believe that these words and images have real natural power. Indeed, in many texts inscribed on the walls of tombs or burial objects, the ancient Egyptians considered it necessary to remove some parts of the hieroglyphs, such as the legs of bird symbols, in order to disable the forces that might harm the dead. This recognition of the magic of words and artistic images is also reflected in a funeral called "opening". Egyptians believed that through this ritual, the mummies and statues of the dead would be injected with new life - in Ptolemaic temples, similar rituals seemed to be held every morning in order to revive the words and images on the temple walls.

古埃及／文字



中华民族是一个很伟大的民族，中华文明也是最独特的文明。世界上所有的国家里，只有我们中国的文化是始终没有间断过的传承下来，也只有我们的汉字是世界上唯一的古代一直演变过来没有间断过的文字形式。从大约是在公元前14世纪，殷商后期的“甲骨文”被认为是“汉字”的第一种形式，直到今天，各种字体纷纷诞生，综艺体、整块体、浮云体、变体等等，这都标志着东方文明，华夏文化精神的具体表现。

画论中就有“书画同源”一说，这是因为最早的文字来源就是图画，是象形的，书与画同时发力，同根生，有很多内在的联系。汉字的起源就是原始的图画，原始人在生活中用来表达自己的“图画”形式。慢慢的从原始图画变成了一种“表意符号”。象形文字因此互相传播，最后达到完美的固态式样。

The Chinese nation is a great nation, and the Chinese civilization is also the most unique civilization. In all countries in the world, only our Chinese culture has been continuously inherited, and only our Chinese characters are the only uninterrupted text form that has evolved in ancient times in the world. From about the 14th century BC, the "oracle bone inscriptions" in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties were regarded as the first form of "Chinese characters". Until today, various fonts have been born, including variety style, whole block style, floating cloud style, variants and so on, which all mark the specific expression of Oriental civilization and Chinese cultural spirit.

There is a saying that "calligraphy and painting are of the same origin" in painting theory, which is because the earliest source of characters is pictures, which are pictographic. Books and paintings work together at the same time, have the same root, and have many internal connections. The origin of Chinese characters is the original picture, the "picture" form used by primitive people to express themselves in life. Slowly from the original picture into a "ideographic symbol". The hieroglyphs thus spread to each other, eventually reaching a perfect solid-state pattern.

中国文字不仅是只是实际应用，作为在文学艺术的精神领域上都是有着非常重要意义，一个民族的强大首先是文化自信和强大，文字根脉研究与发扬光大，更多的是文化的传承。

中国象形文字包含着中国人的伟大智慧，文字出自心象。“心象”就是人类自我心灵在高维度空间向三维度、二维度空间所有相的投影源。心象是什么意思，什么又是心象，简单从几点陈述人类生命体的心象。当对象不在面前时，我们的头脑中浮现出的形象称为知觉形象或者组织样式称为心象。心象的种类有多样化，可以从不同角度对他进行分类，首先根据感觉通道也就是视觉心象，在大脑中出现的具有视觉特征的形象。然后在听觉心象大脑中浮现出的具有听觉特征的形象。相继有运动心象，也就是与动作系统相关联的形象，比如运动、游泳、各种活动等等。和在心的投影源所想象的包括自己凭空捏造的形象等等，这几点所呈现的形象也正是人类生命本心的投影所呈现的相。根据理论进一步证实心象就是在高维度空间的第四维度上的投影源，所有其他的显相都是三维度或二维的空间里…。

Chinese characters are not only practical applications, but also of great significance in the spiritual field of literature and art. The strength of a nation is first of all cultural self-confidence and strength. The research and development of the root of characters is more the inheritance of culture.

Chinese hieroglyphs contain the great wisdom of the Chinese people, and the characters come from the mind image. "Mental image" is the projection of human self mind in high-dimensional space to all phases of three-dimensional and two-dimensional space. What is the meaning of mental image and what is it? Simply state the mental image of human life from several points. When the object is not in front of us, the image that emerges in our mind is called perceptual image or organizational style is called mental image. There are various types of mental images, which can be classified from different angles. First, according to the sensory channel, that is, the visual mental image, the image with visual characteristics in the brain. Then the image with auditory characteristics emerges in the auditory heart image brain. There have been sports mental images, that is, the images associated with the action system, such as sports, swimming, various activities and so on. And the original imagination of the projection in the heart, including the image fabricated out of thin air, and so on. The image presented by these points is also the image presented by the projection of the original heart of human life. According to the theory, it is further confirmed that the mental image is the projection original on the fourth dimension of high-dimensional space, and all other manifestations are in three-dimensional or two-dimensional space.

人类心灵智慧的体现是来自最高维度的投影源，也就是我们每个人的心，也就是心象或者说是本心。为提高人类心灵能量，推动自我成长，达到相由心生、境随心转、格物致知、知行合一为主要目的，为人类真正获得内心的精神幸福、高维认知、充盈着人类高维度的人文意义。它将是提高心质、开阔心胸、明心见性、提升境界，加强中华民族的原创精神，用新艺术能量唤醒我们心质，让艺术成为这个新时代人文关怀心象导师的终极精典。

The embodiment of human spiritual wisdom comes from the projection of the highest dimension, that is, the heart of each of us, that is, the mental image or the original heart. In order to improve human spiritual energy, promote self-growth, achieve the main purpose of growing from the heart, changing the environment, learning from things and integrating knowledge and practice, and truly obtain inner spiritual happiness, high-dimensional cognition and high-dimensional humanistic significance for mankind. It will improve the quality of mind, broaden the mind, be insightful, enhance the realm, strengthen the original spirit of the Chinese nation, awaken our quality of mind with the energy of new art, and make art the ultimate classic of the mentor of humanistic care in this new era.

李刚（一禅）作品／黄河之水天上来





从艺术家到哲学家，从艺术家成为哲学家，在思考后的艺术作品的哲学呈现。艺术家与哲学家具有同一性，他们的哲学思考是"我"的思考，而不是"他"的哲学思想的复述，艺术家与哲学家的界限更多的是人为的，其本质是一个现代性问题，其后果是艺术家丧失了哲学思考的习惯和能力，阻断了成为哲学家的可能。为此，艺术家应具有哲学的自觉，对艺术创作实践生活充满激情，对他人的思考具有宽容的心态，形成自己独特的哲学智慧，从而使自己通向哲学家成为可能。

抽象艺术作品最有表现力量的是艺术作品的纯粹性，其实艺术最有生命力的地方，当然体现在作品本体的内涵境界上。无论任何艺术作品，都是有着强大的文化支撑点，都是由表及里，由一般的事物表面进入内心世界。所表现的不仅仅是一张画的简单视觉意思，细细品味有几个层面的意识。他的文化影响力和艺术感染力会延迟很长时间，每次品味，又有了和从前不一样的意识境界，这也就是艺术作品的能量所在。

From artist to philosopher, from artist to philosopher, the philosophical presentation of artistic works after thinking. Artists and philosophers have identity. Their philosophical thinking is the thinking of "I", not the repetition of "he". The boundary between artists and philosophers is more artificial. Its essence is a problem of modernity. The consequence is that artists lose the habit and ability of philosophical thinking and block the possibility of becoming philosophers. Therefore, artists should have philosophical consciousness, be full of passion for artistic creation and practical life, be tolerant of the thinking of others, and form their own unique philosophical wisdom, so as to make it possible for them to lead to philosophers.

The most expressive force of abstract works of art is the purity of works of art. In fact, the most vitality of art is naturally reflected in the connotation realm of the work itself. No matter what works of art are, they have a strong cultural support, from the outside to the inside, from the surface of ordinary things to the inner world. It shows not only the simple visual meaning of a painting, but also several levels of consciousness. His cultural influence and artistic appeal will be delayed for a long time. Each time he tastes, he has a different realm of consciousness than before, which is where the energy of artistic works lies.

李刚（一禅）作品／开悟



李刚绘画作品在某种意义上在传达一种新的绘画形式以及能量的向着多维度纵深启示的视觉感。在《一画开天》、《文字•中华門》、《天人合一》、《境由心生》、《光的方向》、《文字1号中国人》等系列作品中，仿佛传达一种神秘的宗教仪式感和有着极强的立体建筑空间感，仿佛有西班牙，安东尼·高迪设计的圣家大教堂的雄伟，庄严，敬畏之感。同时又有东方佛堂建筑的肃穆及神秘宇宙感，在视觉艺术精神上让你向往，让你心灵感受宇宙之大，我们人类如此脆弱又渺小。

In a sense, Li Gang's paintings convey a new form of painting and the visual sense of multi-dimensional and in-depth enlightenment of energy. In a series of works such as "one painting opens the sky", "character · Zhonghua Gate", "unity of heaven and man", "the environment is born from the heart", "the direction of light" and "character No. 1 Chinese", it seems to convey a mysterious sense of religious ceremony and a strong sense of three-dimensional architectural space, as if it has the sense of majesty, solemnity and awe of the saint's Cathedral designed by Anthony Gaudi in Spain. At the same time, it also has the solemn and mysterious sense of the universe of Oriental Buddhist hall buildings, which makes you yearn for the spirit of visual art and make your heart feel the size of the universe. We humans are so fragile and small.

李刚（一禅）作品／日月同辉





李刚通过将汉字符号“人”的放大与夸张，使“人”矗立在天地之中，这种与天地齐肩，与日月同辉的境界，突显了人格的伟岸和灵魂的不朽，形成了东西方文化交融后的当代意识。

后当代的信息复杂性，使艺术的文化性具有综合跨界性。艺术的问题也随即演变成哲学和社会学等人文学科的综合问题。因而，但凡优秀的艺术家，也必定是具备跨界能力的复合性文化学者。

By magnifying and exaggerating the Chinese character symbol "man", Li Gang made "man" stand in heaven and earth. This state of shoulder to shoulder with heaven and earth and shining with the sun and moon highlights the greatness of personality and the immortality of soul, forming a contemporary consciousness after the integration of eastern and Western cultures.

The complexity of post contemporary information makes the cultural nature of art comprehensive and cross-border. The problem of art then evolved into a comprehensive problem of humanities such as philosophy and sociology. Therefore, any excellent artist must be a compound cultural scholar with cross-border ability.

李刚在雕塑、书法、绘画上的跳跃式自由切换，正是得益于这些综合能力的长期历练，更是得益于中国文化神性思维的滋养。

作为人类灵魂唤醒与引领的话语方式，艺术本身即是手段又是目的。正如康德在论述“道德”时所强调的，道德本身即为手段又为目的。“艺术”与“道德”在某种意义上有着相同的属性，都是在试图启发并引领着人类灵魂走向“善”与“崇高”。只不过，艺术更接近于与神共话，彰显着人类神性的精神内核。

Li Gang's Leaping free switching in sculpture, calligraphy and painting benefits not only from the long-term experience of these comprehensive abilities, but also from the nourishment of the divine thinking of Chinese culture.

As the discourse way of awakening and leading the human soul, art itself is both a means and an end. As Kant emphasized when discussing "morality", morality itself is both a means and an end. "Art" and "morality" have the same attributes in a sense. They are trying to inspire and lead the human soul to "goodness" and "Sublimity". However, art is closer to talking with God and shows the spiritual core of human divinity.

李刚（一禅）作品／天人合一



李刚所具有的核艺术特质，正是基于这种宇宙观所形成的人类“意志审美”的新尝试。它不再局限于某种流派，某种主义。而是以神性的思维，俯瞰整个宇宙中所有生命与灵魂的生长轨迹，唤醒与引领人类无限接近“神性”的思维突破。

艺术家的良知与使命感，使李刚在这一思维方式中，回归中华文化根系，并透过物质现象“还原”本源。在兼收中否定既有的艺术规则，以惊世骇俗的全新视角，重新定义当下。

从当下重新出发，为艺术的自由，人性的释放，插上了神性的翅膀。

李刚（一禅）作品／格物致知

The nuclear art characteristic of Li Gang is a new attempt of human "will aesthetics" based on this cosmology. It is no longer limited to a certain genre, a certain doctrine. But with divine thinking, overlooking the growth path of all life and soul in the whole universe, awakening and leading mankind to infinitely approach the "divine" thinking breakthrough.

The artist's conscience and sense of mission make Li Gang return to the root of Chinese culture in this way of thinking and "restore" the origin through material phenomena. It negates the existing artistic rules and redefines the present from a shocking new perspective.

Starting from the present, we have inserted Divine Wings for the freedom of art and the release of human nature.
