传统惠安石雕体现了中国传统文化价值,也应该融入现代文化。但融入现代文化的方式不是西化,而是精英化。中国的精英文化是写意,所以,惠安传统石雕艺术的现代化出路是转向写意。历史上,民俗石雕文化、宗教石雕文化、审美石雕文化都对社会文化生活起过重要作用。今天,保护传统石雕艺术最好的方式还是要让它在现代社会文化生活中起作用。 Traditional Huian stone carving embodies the value of traditional Chinese culture, but also should be integrated into modern culture. However, the way to integrate into modern culture is not westernization, but elitism. China’s elite culture is freehand, therefore, Huian traditional stone art is a modern way to freehand brushwork. Historically, folk stone culture, religious stone culture, aesthetic stone culture have played an important role in social and cultural life. Today, the best way to protect traditional stone carving is to make it work in the cultural life of modern society.
