  在G20杭州峰会新闻中心的展台上,有一组《美丽浙江》的明信片夺人眼球 ,被很多外国记者带走留作纪念。这组明信片由中共浙江省委宣传部推出,共8套,每套12张 ,其中包含了书法、国画等浙江传统文学艺术作品。先随小编欣赏一下吧~

  

  

  

  

  

  

  说起浙江的文化,远不止书法和绘画艺术。如果说,浙江文化在先秦以前还属于“考古文化”的话,那么,从西汉开始,到南北朝终了,这跨越了动荡的800多年,便是浙江文化异彩纷呈的开始。

  东汉时期,一位叫王充的上虞著名哲学家以一部《论衡》,对中国古代思想界产生了深刻的影响;魏晋南北朝时期,史籍盛极一时,浙江的一大批学者编纂了《晋书》和《后汉书》等一批正史,形成了“”、“”、“典录”、“”、“”和“”等形式的地方志。

  南朝的谢灵运,徜徉于山色湖光之间,擅以景入诗,开创了中国山水田园诗派的先河;武康人沈约创立的音韵四声,是“永明体”的代表诗人,也开创了中国格律诗的先声。

  自隋唐开始,地处吴越国的浙江,境内社会安定,经济发达,逐渐成为当时最繁华富庶的地区之一,文学艺术也呈现出勃勃生机。

  在繁盛的唐宋文学史上,有着浙江籍的文学家群星闪烁的局面。那些唐诗宋词的年代,“初唐四杰”之一的骆宾王,孟郊,“大历十才子”中的钱起,发起词体变革先河的张先,“北宋词家之冠”的周邦彦,南宋爱国诗人陆游等……明末“浙东学派”兴起,从王阳明的“心学”到龚自珍的“变法”,反映了浙江学者对“疗救”社会弊端的关心和探索。

  同样灿烂夺目的还有唐代的浙江绘画,孙位的《百逸图》与松竹画,影响了五代和两宋;南宋时期,临安建立画院,使浙江更成为了全国美术活动的中心;至元代,更是有出自黄公望笔下、被称为“中国十大传世名画”之一的《富春山居图》。

  与书画发展息息相关的,是篆刻艺术,最让浙江人引以为傲的当属至今还活跃在国际舞台上的——西泠印社。位于西湖边孤山南麓的西泠印社,创建于清光绪年间,以“保存金石,研究印学,兼及书画”为宗旨,已成为海内外研究金石篆刻历史的“金字招牌”。

  从整个人类的文明发展史可以看出:经济的稳定与发展,是文学和艺术发展的土壤与保障,而秀丽的风光和崇文的氛围,才是持续创新与灵感迸发的源泉。

  东晋时期,一位名叫王羲之的书法家定居在会稽山的东南面,他以“飘若浮云,矫若惊龙”的书法而被誉为“书圣”。《兰亭序》被誉为“天下第一行书”,既奠定了他在书法史上的地位,也让兰亭成为了历代文人雅士向往的地方。江南的三月,是多情的季节,于崇山峻岭之间,在茂林修竹中,有着清澈的溪水,围坐一起,行酒令、吟诗、谈天、看天高云淡……这便是兰亭流觞曲水的千种风情。

  千年之后,依然是这片土地,一户周姓的大家族有个后花园,唤作百草园,春去秋来,夏雨冬雪。在这个充满野趣的地方,走出去的一位少年,最终成为了中华民族的伟大人物。他在年轻的时候弃医从文,自此,一支笔成为了他对抗黑暗势力的最有力武器。无数人从他撕裂出的、透出曙光的文学天空中,找到了信仰与力量,瘦弱的他也成为了当之无愧的“民族魂”。鲁迅,是绍兴人心中不朽的骄傲,也是全体浙江人的、更是整个中华民族的气节与精神。

  

  再看短短三十载的现当代中国文学史,浙籍作家几乎占了“半壁江山”:茅盾、周作人、郁达夫、徐志摩、郑振铎、冯雪峰、夏衍、艾青、丰子恺、夏丏尊、梁实秋、戴望舒、施蛰存……他们在一个特定历史时刻的集体出演,营造了浙江的文学史,也是中国新文学史一时的汉唐气象。

  

  在“文化走出去”的今天,浙江文化的对外输出力量也不容小觑:现任浙江省作协主席麦家,是首位被英国“企鹅经典文库”收录作品的中国当代作家,他的作品出现在马德里街头的18条公交车线路上,刮起一阵浓浓的“中国旋风”。

  对传统文化的继承与发扬,也不忘创新与改革,这就是当代浙江文化发展的主旋律,这也是今日浙江依然保持着强劲的发展势头的原因。

  Zhejiang: Land of Art and LiteratureIf the culture of Zhejiang in the pre-Qin centuries can only be seen in archaeological finds, the 800 plus years between the Western Han and the Southern and Northern Dynasties saw Zhejiang begin to thrive culturally.

  Philosopher Wang Chong wrote Critical Essays, which profoundly impacted the thinking of ancient China. He was a native of Shangyu in eastern Zhejiang. During the periods of the Wei Kingdom, the Jin Dynasty and Southern and Northern Dynasties (from 3rd to 6th centuries), official history got written and compiled on a large scale. A great number of scholars of Zhejiang took part in these undertakings. They were instrumental in writing History of the Jin Dynasty and History of the Later Han. A set of formalities for writing history emerged in the practice of writing regional histories.

  

  Xie Lingyun of the Southern Dynasty wrote landscape poems, pioneering the way to the rise of nature poetry; Shen Yue, a native of Wukang, created a system of tunes for written words, which paved the way for metrical verses in China.

  The centuries of the Sui and the Tang and the Wuyue Kingdom saw Zhejiang thrive and morph into one of the richest regions in the country. Peace prevailed, the society stabilized and economy thrived. Art and literature boomed.

  In the Tang and the Song dynasties when poetry evolved, flourished and blossomed, Zhejiang produced prominent poets such as Luo Binwang, Meng Jiao, Qian Qi, Zhou Bangyan, and Lu You. The East Zhejiang School came into being in the evening years of the Ming and promoted pragmatism in classic studies. Wang Yangming of the Ming developed the philosophy of the mind. Gong Zizhen of the Qing trumpeted reform. What these scholars did mirrored the concerns and thinking of scholars in Zhejiang who sought to cure the nation of its maladies and problems.

  

  Zhejiang also loomed large in the field of painting during the Tang. Sun Wei, an artist of Zhejiang, influenced the following Five Dynasties and the Song Dynasties with his unusual figure and landscape masterpieces. In the Southern Song, the present-day Hangzhou was the home to the royal house and home to the royal academy of painting. Zhejiang therefore acted as the national art center. Huang Gongwang, an artist of the Yuan, created Mountain Dwelling on Fuchun River, which is rated as one of the top ten best painting masterpieces of ancient China.

  The art of seal engraving is closely associated with calligraphy and painting. Xiling Society of Seal Arts, situated on the West Lake, was founded in 1904. It plays a pivotal role in the study of seal arts at home and abroad.

  

  The history of human civilization testifies that a stable and growing economy serves as a precondition for art and literature and that culture and natural beauty inspire innovation.

  Wang Xizhi, who settled down in Kuaiji (the present-day Shaoxing), was and is lauded as the Saint of Calligraphy. Lu Xun, a native of Shaoxing, was a huge presence in 20th-century China’s literature. When he passed away in 1936, he was considered the soul of the nation. He lives in the heart of his fellow people in Shaoxing. He is the pride of Zhejiang. In the history of modern Chinese literature before 1949, more than half of the great authors were Zhejiang natives. They contributed a great deal to the new literature that shaped the nation.

  

  Today, we are culturally going international. Zhejiang plays a significant role in this enterprise. Mai Jia, the incumbent chairperson of Zhejiang Writers’ Association, is the first contemporary Chinese writer whose novels are in the Penguin Classics. His novel was advertised on buses running 18 routes in Madrid when the Spanish translation was launched there.

  In cultural undertakings, Zhejiang gives equal priority to traditional culture and to innovation and reform. This is exactly why Zhejiang maintains a great momentum of development.
