花鳥畫是中國畫傳統畫科之一，以花、鳥、蟲等植物和動物為描繪對象，在中國繪畫史上有著悠久的歷史和深遠的社會影響?；B畫最早可以追溯到遠古石器時代，中國先民們在巖壁、陶器上記錄下他們對于自然萬物的觀察和理解。經過長期發展，到了唐代，花鳥畫業已獨立成科，臻于成熟，與人物畫、山水畫共同構成了中國傳統繪學體系。工筆花鳥畫精巧細致，追求寫實；寫意花鳥畫粗放瀟灑，注重神韻，雖然技法不同，但都體現了畫家對大自然的熱愛之情，無論藝術表現還是創作意境都深受人們的喜愛。

本期“看中國”選登南開大學藝術與美學研究院副教授陳志峰花鳥畫作品以饗讀者。陳志峰長期探索花鳥畫創作，廣收博取，融眾法于一體，尤其在荷塘、鵝類的田園題材上別具一格、富有趣味。他的花鳥畫創作看似傳統，卻處處盡顯對現代人生存困境的關懷，試圖創造出一個雅致悠然、透徹澄明的藝術世界，為現代人建構一個清明的精神家園。
