2003年8月举办的第二届全国中国画展,是一次重要展览。从365件入选作品中,基本可以看到进入新世纪以后的中国画创作状态。经过数十年的努力,中国画走向现代的成绩无疑是可喜的。然而,在前行的道路上,它所存在的问题却也不能不引起中国画界有关人士的重视。第二届全国中国画展一些作品在题款中出现的毛病,就是一个应该得到重视的问题。题款是构成中国画强烈民族特色的因素之一,也是一幅中国画构图的有机成分之一。不管一幅中国画作品画得好或者不好,只要作品题了款,我们在评价它时,就不能将题款忽略不计,这应该是中国画界的常识。中国画题款大体涉及三方面问题:一、文句、文字是否通顺、正确;二、位置是否合理;三、书法是否合格。然而,由于一件作品题款的位置是否合理,书法是否合格的问题,探讨起来很可能各执己见,不大容易得出相同的结论,我们只好暂且搁置不议,而先来讨论题款文句、文字的问题。入选第二届全 The 2nd National Chinese Painting Exhibition held in August 2003 is an important exhibition.

Some problems that appeared in the inscriptions of some works of the 2nd National Exhibition of Chinese Painting are one that deserves our attention. The inscriptions constitute one of the factors that make up the strong ethnic characteristics of Chinese painting and are also one of the organic components of the composition of Chinese painting. No matter whether a piece of Chinese painting is well or not painted well, as long as the works have been inscribed, we can not neglect the inscription when evaluating it. This should be the common sense of Chinese painting circles. Chinese painting theme generally involves three issues: First, the text, the text is fluent, correct; Second, the location is reasonable; Third, calligraphy is qualified. However, since the position of a piece of work is reasonable and its calligraphy is qualified, it is probable that it will not be easy to come to the same conclusions when discussing it. Therefore, we have to put aside the discussion for the first time and discuss the inscription Text problems. Selected second full
