本文认为中国画的相对稳定的基因是:抽象的笔墨、意象的造型和诗化的意境。中国画的发展过程如同生物进化过程中基因会发生突变和重组一样,会出现如下四种结果:有利的(强化发展了中国画基因)载入中国画史,中性、有害的(保持减弱了中国画基因)无声无息,致死的(改变抛弃了中国画基因)逐出中国画坛。 This paper holds that the relatively stable genes in Chinese painting are: abstract brushwork, the modeling of images and the poetic artistic conception. The development process of Chinese painting is similar to the mutation and reorganization of genes in the course of biological evolution. There are four kinds of results as follows: Favorable (strengthening the development of Chinese painting genes) is included in the history of Chinese painting, neutral and harmful (keeping the Chinese painting gene diminished) Silent, lethal (change abandoned Chinese painting gene) expelled from the Chinese painting.
