書畫是我們老祖宗留下的文化遺產，一提到，無人不知無人不曉。哪怕是我們的鄰國日本，也是深受我們唐代字畫的影響的。一筆寫不出兩劃，字和畫自古就是一體。在元代的趙孟強調書畫同源，強調古意用筆。在元四家時，更是把書畫提升了一個境界，強調詩書畫印的文人畫。文人畫強調的就是文人的意趣和修養(yǎng)，對文人騷客的要求是比較的，要求他們的才情，學問，思想，情操等都要具備，要求人的發(fā)展。

　　Calligraphy and painting are cultural heritage left by our ancestors, and when it comes to China, everyone knows and understands it. Even our neighboring country Japan was deeply influenced by our Tang Dynasty calligraphy and painting. A single stroke cannot make two strokes, and words and paintings have been integrated since ancient times. In the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Meng emphasized the homology of calligraphy and painting, and emphasized the use of ancient brushwork. In the Yuan Dynasty, calligraphy and painting were elevated to a higher level, emphasizing literati painting with poetry, calligraphy, painting, and seals. The emphasis of literati painting is on the interests and cultivation of literati, and the requirements for literati and poets are relatively comprehensive, requiring them to possess talents, knowledge, thoughts, sentiments, and the comprehensive development of human beings.

　　這與我們現(xiàn)在對文人的要求有些不同的。現(xiàn)在的文人只有很少數還在注重的修養(yǎng)，還有一些人比較的追逐利益，破壞了文人的形象。

　　This is somewhat different from our current requirements for literati. Nowadays, only a small number of literati still focus on comprehensive cultivation, and some people pursue interests, which damages the image of literati.

　　收藏書畫時，一定要考察藝術家的修養(yǎng)。修養(yǎng)之于一個人就是綠葉之于根，他是一個藝術家不可分割的一部分。

　　When collecting calligraphy and painting, it is necessary to examine the artist's cultivation. Cultivation is to a person what a green leaf is to the root, and he is an inseparable part of an artist.

　　在古代強調的是才思學情等各方面的發(fā)展，現(xiàn)代對藝術家的修養(yǎng)提出了更高的要求。不僅強調才思學情，還強調藝術家要懂得一定的科學知識。當今的世界是科技高速發(fā)展的世界，從次工業(yè)革命開始，藝術家就開始了對工業(yè)革命的思考。身為這個時代的藝術家，更加應該注重這方面的修養(yǎng)。

　　In ancient times, emphasis was placed on the development of talents, thoughts, learning, emotions, and other aspects, while in modern times, higher requirements are placed on the cultivation of artists. Not only does it emphasize talent and learning, but it also emphasizes that artists need to have a certain level of scientific knowledge. The world today is a world of rapid technological development. Since the first industrial revolution, artists have been contemplating the industrial revolution. As artists of this era, we should pay more attention to this aspect of cultivation.

　　在古代關于人的修養(yǎng)是遵循了儒家孔子的思想，強調仁和禮，他的思想體現(xiàn)了人文主義的思想，這是人類一直在探索的話題，也是藝術家一直想弄明白的。

　　In ancient times, the cultivation of human beings followed the ideas of Confucianism and Confucius, emphasizing benevolence and propriety. His thoughts reflected the ideas of humanism, which has been a topic that humans have been exploring and that artists have always wanted to understand.

　　收藏書畫時，看藝術家是否是天賦的。興趣是一個藝術家開始創(chuàng)作的動力，而天賦是決定他能走多遠的重要因素。天賦又成為天分，他是一個藝術家組成的一個部分。在一個年輕的藝術家成長起來的時候，更加的需要具備這種成分。它是判定一個藝術家能有多大成就的基準，這種天生就具有的東西，能使藝術家的創(chuàng)作始終保有巨大的熱情。

　　When collecting calligraphy and painting, consider whether the artist has exceptional talent. Interest is the driving force for an artist to start creating, while talent is an important factor that determines how far he can go. Talent becomes talent again, he is a part of an artist's composition. When a young artist grows up, it is even more necessary to possess this element. It is the benchmark for determining how much an artist can achieve, and this innate thing can keep the artist's creativity passionate.

　　一些年輕的藝術家還處在缺乏經驗的時候，如果想收藏他們的字畫，一定要看這個人是否有天賦，具有天賦的人就具有很大的升值潛力。如果囊中羞澀，不妨買上一支潛力股試試。

　　Some young artists are still lacking experience. If you want to collect their calligraphy and paintings, you must see if the person has talent. People with talent have great potential for appreciation. If you are short of money, why not try buying a potential stock.

　　收藏書畫，還要看一看這個藝術家，是否有為了藝術奮不顧身的精神。遙想西方的藝術家梵高，他在身前所畫的內容并不被人接受，在他死后，他的畫開始引起人們的注意。這些畫一經出現(xiàn)就會引起轟動。為什么人們會那么推崇他？不僅因為他的畫具有歷史性意義，還在于梵高為了創(chuàng)作，哪怕生活的窮困潦倒也沒有放棄。他才37歲就走到了生命的終點，但是他為了畫畫，自己的牙齒都脫落了，他的精神也出了問題。從來沒有見過現(xiàn)在有些人能夠像他一樣拼命的畫。如果你有幸見到這樣一位畫家，千萬別猶豫，趕緊收藏他的作品。

　　Collecting calligraphy and painting also depends on whether the artist has the spirit of sacrificing themselves for art. Thinking back to the Western artist Van Gogh, the content he painted in front of him was not accepted by people. After his death, his paintings began to attract people's attention. These paintings will cause a sensation once they appear. Why do people admire him so much? Not only because his paintings have historical significance, but also because Van Gogh did not give up even in poverty and hardship in order to create. He reached the end of his life at the age of 37, but he lost his teeth and had mental problems in order to paint. I have never seen anyone who can paint as hard as he does now. If you are fortunate enough to meet such a painter, don't hesitate to collect his works as soon as possible.

　　收藏書畫，要看藝術家的繪畫是否具有鮮明的個性。這里的個性不單是指他的作品，還有他的人格。要的考察他的生活環(huán)境，已經他所受到的教育，是否能夠支持他創(chuàng)作出具有個性又營養(yǎng)的作品。個性并不是弄一些嘩眾取寵的東西，他應該有理論和道德的依據。

　　Collecting calligraphy and painting depends on whether the artist's paintings have a distinct personality. The personality here refers not only to his works, but also to his personality. We need to comprehensively examine his living environment, the education he has received, and whether it can support him to create works with personality and nutrition. Personality is not about making some sensational things, it should have theoretical and moral basis.

　　就像經濟基礎和上層建筑，沒有基礎和文化營養(yǎng)的創(chuàng)作，是虛的，是經不起人民群眾的考驗的。藝術家的個性是比較鮮明的，這個鮮明的個性也會影響藝術家的一生。

　　Just like the economic foundation and superstructure, creativity without foundation and cultural nourishment is illusory and cannot withstand the test of the people. The personality of an artist is quite distinct, and this distinct personality can also affect the artist's life.

　　關于書畫收藏的五點建議

　　Five suggestions for collecting calligraphy and painting

　　當代名家書法字畫收藏要把藝術價值放到位

　　Contemporary calligraphy and painting collections should prioritize artistic value

　　藝術價值是任何一幅當代名家書法書畫收藏價值的根本，決定著其未來能否保值增值。但如果一幅當代名家書法書畫本身的藝術價值不高，收藏時若只看中的是藝術家當時的名氣，很容易在若干年后，隨著該人名氣的消散而使藏品大幅貶值。

　　The artistic value is the fundamental basis for the collection value of any contemporary calligraphy, painting or calligraphy by a renowned artist, determining whether it can maintain and increase its value in the future. But if the artistic value of a contemporary famous calligrapher or painter is not high, and only the artist's fame is valued when collecting, it is easy for the collection to depreciate significantly after several years as the artist's fame dissipates.

　　收藏名望高的當代藝術家作品升值潛力大

　　Collecting works of renowned contemporary artists with great potential for appreciation

　　如果說藝術價值是一幅當代名家書法字畫收藏價值的核心，那么當代藝術家的名望會讓其作品錦上添花，收藏價值會翻幾番甚更多。在某種程度上來說，名家與非名家，是衡量藝術價值和收藏價值的重要界限。當代書法收藏就是收藏當代名家書法。

　　If artistic value is the core of the collection value of contemporary famous calligraphers and paintings, then the reputation of contemporary artists will add icing on the cake to their works, and their collection value will increase several times or even more. To some extent, the distinction between famous and non famous artists is an important boundary for measuring artistic value and collectible value. Contemporary calligraphy collection refers to the collection of calligraphy by contemporary masters.

　　要關注當代名家書法字畫的內容和題材

　　Pay attention to the content and themes of contemporary famous calligraphers' calligraphy and paintings

　　當代名家書法書畫的內容和題材是影響其收藏價值的重要因素。藏家一般對美好、高雅、經典、稀有的內容和題材會有極大的興趣。好的題材可以彰顯主人高雅的藝術文化氣息。一幅內容積極、寓意美好的書法作品于家中，總能讓人感覺到書香滿溢。

　　The content and themes of contemporary famous calligraphers and painters are important factors that affect their collection value. Collectors generally have a great interest in beautiful, elegant, classic, and rare content and themes. Good themes can showcase the owner's elegant artistic and cultural atmosphere. A calligraphy work with positive content and beautiful implication can always make people feel full of calligraphy at home.

　　要關注所選擇的當代藝術家的年齡結構

　　Pay attention to the age structure of the selected contemporary artists

　　一般而言，書畫家隨著人生閱歷的增加，對書畫的理解，對筆墨精神的把握會更獨到。所以，收藏當代名家書法書畫時，宜選擇一些升值潛力較大的中青年藝術家的作品。

　　Generally speaking, as calligraphers and painters gain more life experience, their understanding of calligraphy and painting, as well as their grasp of the spirit of brushwork, will become more unique. Therefore, when collecting calligraphy and painting works from contemporary masters, it is advisable to choose works from young and middle-aged artists with great potential for appreciation.

　　從年齡規(guī)律看：上一批成功藝術家的年齡段是50后和60后，下一批將要成功的藝術家的年齡段就不可能再是50后和60后了，可能是70后和80后。

　　From an age perspective, the previous group of successful artists were born in the 50s and 60s, while the next group of artists who are going to succeed cannot be born in the 50s and 60s anymore. The most likely age group is born in the 70s and 80s.
