The Philosophical Background of Chinese Art
中國藝術(shù)的哲學背景
The ideal of Chinese art is not without its philosophical background.?
中國藝術(shù)的這種風格是有其哲學背景的轿曙。
In the twenty-sixth chapter of the Chuang-tzu it is said: "A basket-trap is for catching fish, but when one has got the fish, one need think no more about the basket. A foot-trap is for catching hares; but when one has got the hare, one need think no more about the trap. Words are for holding ideas, but when one has got the idea, one need no longer think about the words. If only I could find someone who had stopped thinking about words and could have him with me to talk to!"?
《莊子》第二十六章《外物》篇最后說：“荃者所以在魚，得魚而忘荃僻孝；蹄者所以在兔导帝，得兔而忘蹄；言者所以在意皮璧，得意而忘言舟扎。吾安得夫忘言之人而與之言哉！”?
To talk with someone who has stopped thinking about words is not to talk with words.?
得忘言之人而與之言悴务，這時兩人不是用語言來交談睹限，
In the Chuang-tzu the statement is made that two sages met without speaking a single word, because "when their eyes met, the Tao was there."?
《莊子》書中說到的兩位圣人譬猫，相遇而不言，因為“目擊而道存矣”（《莊子·田子方》）羡疗。
According to Taoism, the Tao (the Way) cannot be told, but only suggested.?
按照道家的思想染服，道不可道，只能暗示叨恨。
So when words are used, it is the suggestiveness of the words, and not their fixed denotations or connotations, that reveals the Tao.?
語言的作用不在于它的固定含義柳刮，而在于它的暗示，引發(fā)人去領(lǐng)悟道痒钝。
denotation秉颗，外延
connotation，內(nèi)涵
Words are something that should be forgotten when they have achieved their purpose.?
一旦語言已經(jīng)完成它的暗示的作用送矩，就應把它忘掉蚕甥，
Why should we trouble ourselves with them any more than is necessary??
為什么還要讓自己被并非必要的語言所拖累呢？
This is true of the words and rhymes in poetry, and the lines and colors in painting.
詩的文字和音韻是如此栋荸，繪畫的線條和顏色也是如此菇怀。
