The traditional Chinese painting mainly combines calligraphy and poetry, which is what we call “书诗画- calligraphy, poetry and painting”. Calligraphy fuses with poetry and resonates with painting. Therefore, calligraphy, poetry, and painting are spiritually integrated with three elements in one body, that means the Chinese traditional painting is a trinity art, so that Chinese painting can reach the highest artistic state. For example, the painting “ Two Loyal Horses (两匹忠诚的马)” by artist, Law Yuen, combined with Chinese calligraphy and poem “馬萧萧, 蹄噠噠, 忠耿耿- In the artist’s poem, the first sentence describes the sound of a horses, the second sentence describes the sound of horses’ shoes, and the third sentence praises the loyalty of horses”. Here we can imagine that the fusion of calligraphy and poetry resonates with Chinese painting that we seems to hear the horses’ calling sounds and running noise searching their masters, and amazed their loyalty. In other words, the combination of the three elements: Chinese calligraphy, poem, and painting, in one body, means the Chinese painting is a trinity art, making Chinese painting reach the highest state of art realm.
中国画是三位一体的艺术
传统国画主要结合书法和诗，也就是我们所说的“书诗画”。书法与诗融为一体，和画产生共鸣。因此，书法、诗、画在精神上三者合而为一，也就说国画是三位一体的艺术，使国画达到最高的艺术境界。例如画家罗源的画作《两匹忠诚的马》，结合中国书法和诗作“马萧萧，骏哒哒，忠诚耿”- 在画家的诗中，首句描述了马声音，第二句描写马蹄声，第三句歌颂马的忠诚”。在这里我们可以想象，书法与诗的融合和国画产生共鸣 — 使我们似乎听到马匹的叫声和寻找主人的奔跑声, 且感叹它们的忠诚。也就是说，书法、诗、画三者合而为一，使国画成为三位一体的艺术，从而使国画达到艺术的最高境界!
