唐朝以来绘画多以统治者政治教化的工具而存在,绘画创作的题材以及客体的“形”、“神”乃是画师刻画的重心,强调“画品”。继中晚唐,两宋以来理学思想的不断形成,仕人热衷于修身、心性等内在品德的涵养,绘画逐渐成为表达性情的工具,“人品”日益成为绘画强调的重点。 Most of the paintings in the Tang Dynasty existed as tools for the political education of the rulers. The subject of painting and the “” and “god ” of the objects were the centers of gravity of the painters and the “paintings”. Following the continuous formation of Neo-Confucianism in the middle and late Tang and Song Dynasties, Shi people are keen on cultivating inner qualities such as self-cultivation and heart-nature. Painting has gradually become a tool to express temperament. “Character ” has increasingly become the emphasis of painting.
