论传统书法中象形性的自觉意义

摘要

Chinese character is the "yeast" of Chinese calligraphy. As a major way to construct Chinese character and the primary abstract of concrete substance movement, pictograph has some functions as indication, visualization and vocalization. Calligraphy is the highest expressive form of Chinese character. The pictographic and representational nature of Chinese character weakens with the development of Chinese character font. However, the expressive form of calligraphy still keeps the pictographic nature and its conscious significance will never fade.%汉字是中国书法的酵母。“象形”是中国汉字构造的一种主要方法，它作为具体事物运动的初级抽象，具有指事、形声、会意等基本功能。书法是汉字的最高表现形式，随着汉字字体的发展和演变，汉字的象形性与具象性亦随之淡化，但是万变不离其宗，书法的表现形式中依然保存着汉字象形性的一面，其自觉意义是永远不会消失的。
