我们回顾历史的时候常有不自觉划分时代的做法,比如说初唐怎样、中唐怎样,上一代人怎样、下一代人怎样。对于当代篆刻,我们习惯于把齐白石、赵叔孺、易大厂作为一代,把沙孟海、方介堪、陈巨来作为一代,把韩天衡、林健、王镛作为一代。这种提纲挈领式的观察方法虽然容易揭示出不同时代间篆刻风气的变迁,但又往往使我们难以窥见群峰中的山峦。 When reviewing history, we often unconsciously divide the times, for example, what happened in the early Tang Dynasty, what happened in the Middle Tang Dynasty, what happened to the previous generation and what happened to the next generation. For the contemporary carving, we are accustomed to Qi Baishi, Zhao Shu, Yi Dachang as a generation, the Sha Menghai, Fang Jiekan, Chen Julai as a generation, the Han Tianheng, Lin Jian, Wang Wei as a generation. Although this synopsis 挈 collar observation method can easily reveal the changing customs of carving between different ages, it often makes it hard for us to get a glimpse of the mountains in the peaks.
