“势”是书法艺术中一个重要的概念,但历代的书法理论家们都没有给其下一个准确的定义,许多学者包括一些著名学者都对此进行过研究,也曾试图给其定义,尽管各有所见,但终不能尺、如人意。经过搜集历代书法家对“势”描述的总结和归纳,得出书法中的“势”是书法家在创作过程中,以自己的修养及以对书法艺术的领悟,借助于线条笔画的力度、抑扬、顿挫、牵扯、欹正所表现出来的书法艺术的动感、节奏和韵律,给人提供丰富想象和联想的依据,就是书法中的“势”。 “Potential ” is an important concept in the art of calligraphy, but the ancient calligraphy theorists have not given its next accurate definition, many scholars, including some famous scholars have studied it, also tried to give it a definition Although we all see each other, we can not always agree with one another. After collecting the description of “potential ” by ancient calligraphers, we conclude that “potential ” in the calligraphy is the calligrapher in the creative process, with their own self-cultivation and understanding of the art of calligraphy, with the help of lines The dynamics, rhythm, and rhythm of the calligraphic art displayed by the strokes, discouragement, frustration, and implication provide the basis for rich imagination and association, which is the “potential” in calligraphy.
