从字面上来看,“形式感”与“形质”没有多少差别,但在实际内涵上,二者却有着迥然不同的具体所指。“形质”与“神采”相对而存在,通指书法作品可见之形象,在书法审美中,它重要性远远不及“神采”。然“形式感”强调的却是书法作品外观形象(甚至包括作品载体,如装裱、尺幅、纸色等)的独立性与首位性,形式的本 Literally, there is not much difference between “form sense” and “form quality”, but in terms of actual connotation, both have very different specific references. “Conformity” exists in contrast to “excitement” and refers to the image that can be seen in calligraphy works. In the aesthetic of calligraphy, it is far less important than “shining.” However, the “formal sensibility” emphasizes the independence and the primacy of the external appearance of the calligraphy works (even the works, such as the mounting, size, and paper colors).
