指作品的气势与骨力。多形容文学艺术作品所呈现出的刚健劲拔的精神气度和力度美。“气骨”这一术语出现于南朝，与当时的人物品评风气相呼应，用来形容诗文、书法、绘画等文学艺术作品中劲健的精神气度和内在骨力，与“风骨”含义接近，而与“风姿”（作品外在的风貌姿态）相对。

This term refers to the emotional strength and the vitality of a literary work. It was first used during the Southern Dynasties, resonating with the social practice of making comment on people. The term was used to describe the emotional vigor and forcefulness of artistic works such as poetry, essays, calligraphy, and paintings. It is similar in meaning to fenggu (风骨), but contrary to fengzi (风姿), a term meaning external elegance of an artistic work.
