术语“八格”的详细信息

英译术语:

eight essentials of landscape painting

汉语语境:

韩拙在《论用笔墨格法气韵之病》的结尾总结道：“凡画有八格：石老而润，水净而明，山要崔嵬，泉宜洒落，云烟出没，野径迂回，松偃龙蛇，竹藏风雨也。”此处的“格”应理解为格式、标准，而不是风格。首先，韩拙将“格”这一概念放于论笔墨之病的结尾处，指的就是绘画中格式对笔墨的限定和约束；其次，这“八格”的内容并不是笼统地讲绘画风格，而是分 别讲石、水、山、泉、云、径、松、竹的用笔。此“八格”是韩拙绘画理论的重要观点，从笔墨、气韵方面来对山水绘画的景致创作提出要求，属于技法上的规范，但是基本技法的表现直接影响气韵的表达。

英语语境:

At the end of the article “On the essential and spiritual defects of brushwork”, Han Zhuo concluded that there are eight essentials of landscape painting: rocks should be painted as aged but smooth, water be clean and clear, mountains be high and steep, spring splash, cloud and smoke float, pine trees shelter dragons and snakes, bamboos hide wind and rain. The term “essential” in this sentence should be regarded as rule or standard, not a general style. Firstly, Han Zhuo puts forward this concept at the end of his article, aiming at defining and constraining brushwork in landscape painting. Secondly, Han Zhuo has not generally talked about the style of painting, but discussed the brushwork of rocks, water, mountains, spring, cloud, path, pine trees, as well as bamboos respectively. The “eight essentials” are the key word in his painting theory. It is a technical regulation that demands quality of scenery in landscape painting in terms of its brushwork and spirit. And these essentials would influence the expression of a painting's spirit.
