「身體」視域：漢字氣韻生動的身形體式

A ''Bodily'' Perspective: The Bodily Form of Chinese Characters and Their Vividness from Rhythm and Spirit

漢字形具備為「身體」結構，具有形象思維特性，承古文字的發展而仍繼續使用。本文以陳黎〈戰爭交響曲〉為導引，這首詩善用漢字形象思維特性，鋪展出戰爭的豐富意象。以這首詩為切入，就漢字結構「身形」特性，作延伸的探討：1、溯源自造字之初，探發漢字的構形特性；2、就書法教學，揣摩字體形姿，引向大自然的觀察，以模構漢字身形的精氣神；3、書法名作賞析，就行書與草書的藝術性，字形衝破規矩而得其奔放，由此探析發揮漢字本色的優先序列，首重傳神的氣韻生動，而不是符號線條的標記性。漢字展開「身體」空間學，「形」對應的是形象思維的身形觀，身形即有生命形式，漢字所構成的每一筆劃，不只是符號標記，而是具有氣象規模的身形體式。

An ancient form of writing that has remained in use today, Chinese characters contain ''body-like'' shapes and embody the idea of ''form imitation.'' In this study, this characteristic of Chinese characters was elucidated using Chen Li's poem ''A War Symphony'' as an example. The poem makes a good use of the ''features'' of Chinese characters to illustrate the profoundness of war scenes. This study investigated the body-like structures of Chinese characters by examining the following aspects: origin of Chinese character creation, teaching of calligraphy, appreciation of calligraphy masterpieces, and interpretation of the essence of Chinese calligraphy by using modern dances. These aspects were utilized to facilitate an in-depth explanation of the characteristics of Chinese characters. Exploring the origin of Chinese character creation enabled examining how the form imitation of characters was developed. Discussing the teaching of calligraphy facilitates carefully analyzing how the shapes of Chinese characters in calligraphy were inspired by observations of stationary and moving objects in nature, based on which the essence, energy, and spirt of Chinese characters were formed. Through appreciating calligraphy masterpieces, the artistic qualities of cursive and semi-cursive scripts were examined, how character fonts deviated from traditions and became unrestrained were explored, and the ''priority'' of font attributes was analyzed. For example, the vividness from rhythm and spirit of Chinese characters, rather than their actual shapes and symbols, was considered the most important.
