元代是題跋的興盛期。到了元代,倪瓚那一批畫家就徹底不顧忌“簽名"。他們的文人畫,講究"詩書入畫”,有詩有序,作品才算完整,于是題跋成了書畫的重要組成部分。題跋中除了簽名,一般還要交代創(chuàng)作的時間、地點、人物,或者寫首詩配合畫面,生怕后人感受不到畫家的情緒。這樣一來,對畫家的要求就高了,不僅要會寫詩,還要書法好,最重要的是會搭配,整體美觀。畫畫的人變了,畫作自然也就不同了,就好比文藝青年喜歡往各種“無聊”的地方增加難度,并且樂此不疲。
謙虛并非故意自貶身價,做客套應酬,像虛偽者所常表現(xiàn)的假面孔;它是起于自知之明,知道自己所已知的比起世間所可知的非常渺小,未知世界隨著已知世界擴大,愈前走發(fā)現(xiàn)天邊愈遠。他發(fā)現(xiàn)宇宙的無邊無底,對之不能不起崇高雄偉之感,反觀自己渺小,就不能不起謙虛之感。謙虛必起于自我渺小的意識,謙虛者的心目中必有一種為自己所不知不能的高不可攀的東西,老是要抬著頭去望它。這東西可以是全體宇宙,可以是圣賢豪杰,也可以是一個崇高的理想。一個人必須見地高遠,知道天高地厚才能真正地謙虛,不知道天高地厚的人就老是覺得自己偉大,海若未曾望洋,就以為“天下之美盡在己”。謙虛有它消極方面,就是自我渺小的意識;也有它積極方面,就是高遠的瞻矚與恢闊的胸襟。

桃花峪是黃河中下游分界線,把橋建在這里自有講究。我個人的選擇原因,就實用層面來講,自是離老家更近,卻也有非實用層面:是它的外形更時尚更壯觀,名字我也格外鐘愛:桃花峪——黃河——大橋,既明艷又鏗鏘,既堅固又綿長,不是么?
