What viewpoints did Wang Guowei put forward by absorbing western theories and combining with China tradition?

Wang Guowei absorbed western literary theory and combined it with China's traditional literary theory, and put forward the theory of genius, elegance, realm and uselessness.

The theory of "quaint" has a unique position in Wang Guowei's aesthetic theory. Compared with Wang Guowei's theory of "realm", "uselessness" and "genius", "quaint" embodies different theoretical tendencies, but its spiritual core is the same, and "quaint" emphasizes a pure pleasure without interest. As an expression of "good feelings", it has independent significance.

As a kind of artistic beauty, it also embodies the tendency of popularization, which can make people feel the profound traditional culture in the appreciation of quaint art, thus improving their personality cultivation. Mr. Wang Guowei's thinking about "quaint" provides us with useful enlightenment to explore the aesthetic significance of traditional culture.

Literary aspect

Wang Guowei is most famous for his literary creation and literary theory, which are mutually confirmed. The achievement of his ci lies in the development of the realm, and the realm is exactly what the thorn in the world emphasizes.

From the analysis of specific works, most of Wang Guowei's ci works get rid of the cliche of expressing feelings of parting and humiliation, and focus on expressing the tragic fate of individuals in the vast universe, which is a torture of life and soul.

He often reveals the artistic conception of "the length of the universe, the wandering life, the unfounded emotions, that is, the inevitable tragedy" (Zhou Cezong's On Wang Guowei's Ci), so his poems often reveal a sad atmosphere.

For example, "Picking Mulberry Seeds" said: "Life is like the wind, with sporadic joys and sorrows, all connected with rivers." It is found that human suffering is the opposite of a routine and contented life, and it is the awakening of human beings. In this way, "realm" has been given a new connotation, and his words express a philosophical realm, which transcends ethics.
