Japanese: 古画品録 - こがひんろく
Catalog of ancient paintings

A treatise on painting written by Xie He of the Southern Qi Dynasty during the Northern and Southern Dynasties in China. It was compiled in the first half of the 6th century. It criticizes 27 famous painters from Cao Buxing of the Wu Dynasty to the end of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and in the preface he establishes six rules as standards for painting quality. These include "lively and vibrant," "solid drawing," "capturing the shape of things realistically," "coloring each individual thing," "thinking and coming up with creative compositions," and "copying ancient paintings as the secret to improvement." These came to be valued as the foundation of a painter's knowledge and theories of painting, and have made Xie He's name immortal.

中国、南北朝時代、南斉(なんせい)の謝赫(しゃかく)が著した画論書。6世紀前半に成立。呉の曹不興(そうふこう)から南斉末期までの名画家27人を批評したもので、自序に画品の規準としての六法を定めている。気韻生動(きいんせいどう)(画が生き生きとして生命感にあふれていること)、骨法用筆(こっぽうようひつ)(デッサンがしっかりしていること)、応物象形(おうぶつしょうけい)(ものの形をリアルにとらえること)、随類賦彩(ずいるいふさい)(ものそれぞれに着彩すること)、経営位置(けいえいいち)(構図を考えくふうを凝らすこと)、伝移模写(でんいもしゃ)(古画の模写をもって上達の秘訣(ひけつ)とすること)がそれで、これらは画人の心得として、また画論の根本として重んぜられることとなり、謝赫の名を不朽のものとした。
