　　不似之似

　　艺术作品不刻意追求外形与描写对象的酷似，而是在传神达意上达到更高程度的相似。也说“不似而似”。“不似”是指笔情恣意，脱离陈旧套路，不过于追求外形的真实；“似”是指以生活真实为基础，而臻于传神写意的真实。不似之似是指在艺术真实与生活真实中达到巧妙的平衡。

　　Dissimilar in Form but Similar in Spirit

　　This happens when artists do not aim deliberately for virtual replica in form between works of art and the objects depicted but make every effort to achieve a resemblance in spirit. This is also known as "dissimilar in form but similar in spirit". "Dissimilar" means that an artist should paint with free will, discarding outdated practices, and not excessively pursuing resemblance in form. "Similar" means that painting should be based on true life and artists should strive for similarity in spirit. This principle of allowing for dissimilar form in quest of similar spirit strikes an ingenious balance between artistic reality and the reality of daily life.

　　引例

　　天地浑溶一气，再分风雨四时。明暗高低远近，不似之似似之。（石涛《大涤子题画诗跋》卷一）（天地浑然融合一体，再分为风雨四季。有明有暗，有高有低，有远有近，只有不过于追求外形的真实，才能达到真正的神似。）

　　Sky and earth blend into a harmonious whole, distinguished only by the cycle of the four seasons. Artists should use brighter and darker colors to make objects look appropriately high or low, far or near. Genuine similarity is similarity in substance despite dissimilarity in form. (Shi Tao: Dadizi's Comments on His Own Poems Inscribed on Paintings)
