今日中国画坛，无病呻吟，徒恃笔墨炫世取宠者夥，以真笔墨写真性情，以妙思寓哲理者罕矣。鹏城王君宪荣于公务之余，澄怀味象，挥毫泼墨，写人间百态，绘天地万物，所写所绘均有所托所寄。父子亲情、天伦之乐、自然生态、梦里家山等美好情景之歌颂，高高在上、脱离群众、盲目自大、道德缺失等丑恶现象之鞭笞，均注于笔端，跃然纸上。观王宪荣之画作，可谓真画矣!寄哲理于笔墨之中，意远神清，韵高气静，谐趣横生，咸足昭典坟① ，澄志滤，正人伦，敦风俗，远绍神明之德，近承江山之助，意与笔会，情因墨宣。若缘缘堂主 ② 在世，亦当幸后继有人也。

　　① 典坟：即三坟五典，是指中国最古老的书籍。东汉郑玄说，“三坟五典”就是“三皇五帝之书”。西晋杜预有注：“皆古书名。”因此，三坟即三皇之书，五典谓五帝之书。三坟五典一词最早见于《左传.昭公十二年》,楚灵王称赞左史倚相：“是良史也，子善视之，是能读《三坟》、《五典》、《八索》、《九丘》。”《尚书序》称：伏羲、神农、黄帝之书谓之《三坟》，言大道也。少昊、颛顼(zhuanxu)、高辛(喾ku)、唐(尧)、虞(舜)之书谓之《五典》，言常道也。而八卦之说谓之《八索》，求其义也。九州之志谓之《九丘》。言九州所有，土地所生，风气所宜，皆聚此书也。

　　Carrying on Philosophy in Painting

　　— Comment on Mr. Xianrong Wang ’s Works

　　Yi Li

　　Today’s art circle is filled with sentimental poses and boastful exaggeration. It’s rare to have an artist painting true disposition and writing philosophical thoughts. Mr. Xianrong Wang from Shenzhen, enjoys spiritual fulfillment, writes mundane world and paints vast universe in his spare time, and seals his dream and hope in his words and sketches. He eulogizes family kinship and happiness, natural beauty and longing homeland. He criticizes seclusion, arrogance and decadence. Mr. Wang’s paintings are embodiment of reality. He dedicates philosophy in painting, spiritually elevating, serenely poised and delightfully humorous. By inheriting gods’ virtues and carrying nature’s beauty, he rehabilitates Dianfen①, clarifies ambitions, uplifts human relations, and purifies customs. Idea merges with pen and affection is manifested by ink. If Yuanyuan Tangzhu②alive, he would be content with such a successor like Xianrong Wang.

　　① Dianfen: i.e. the classical books of San Fen Wu Dian, referring to the most ancient classical books of China. Zheng Xuan in the East Han Dynasty commented that the San Fen Wu Dian where the books of preaching of the “Three Emperors and Five Rulers”, prominent in history. Notes given by Du Yu in the West Jin Dynasty state that these are “all titles of ancient books”. Therefore, the San Fen are the books of the three emperors, and the Wu Dian are the books of five rulers. San Fen Wu Dian were first referred in the Zuozhuan • the 12th Year of Zhao Gong, where the King Ling of Chu praised the Yixiang of Zuoshi (Historical account) that “it is a sound account of history that one can well read into, as one can see the San Fen, Wu Dian, Ba Suo and Jiu Qiu classics in it.” Shangshuxu states that the books of Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi (early emperors of China) are called the San Fen, which depict the ways of the great. Shaohao, Zhuanxu, Gaoxin (Ku), Tang (Yao), Yu (Shun) classics are titled the Wu Dian, which teach the ways of real life. While on the other hand, the Bagua theories are in the book Ba Suo, in search of the meanings of the classics. The Jiu Qiu refers to the chronicle of the nine states. Therefore it is said that all that’s encompassed in the nine states of the nation, all that are nurtured in this soil and all that grows in this atmosphere and climate are collected in these books.
