In which period did the breeze prevail in ancient times?

Light spirit prevailed in ancient Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Wei and Jin Dynasties (AD 220- AD 420) is an important cultural turning point in the history of China, and it is also an era with remarkable cultural diversity and ideological diversity. During this period, "breeze" became the aesthetic orientation pursued by most literati, which was embodied in literature, art and philosophy.

First, literature and art:

Literary style: The literature of Wei and Jin Dynasties is characterized by freshness and elegance. Representative writers, such as Ji Kang and Tao Yuanming, advocate fresh and indifferent writing style and emphasize the pursuit of the truth of nature and the authenticity of human nature.

Poetry creation: The poet's writing takes pastoral poems as the theme, showing his yearning for natural scenery and quiet life, and showing an indifferent and fresh attitude towards life.

Painting art: Wei and Jin landscape paintings pursue elegant and indifferent expression with ethereal artistic conception, emphasizing emotional expression and artistic conception creation.

Second, philosophy and thought:

Taoist thought: During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Taoist thought was valued, advocating seclusion, pursuing purity and inaction, and transcending the secular.

Influence of Buddhism: Buddhism began to be introduced into China during this period, and its influence on social atmosphere was to pursue inner peace and get rid of the prosperous secular world.

Three. Society and life:

Political turmoil: During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, social turmoil was frequent and wars continued. Many literati choose to live in seclusion in the mountains and rivers in order to avoid the disturbance of the world, and pursue inner peace and tranquility.

Confucian demeanor: Confucianism advocates a quiet atmosphere and takes the life concept of "pure and indifferent, not vulgar" as the code of conduct.

The "breeze" in Wei and Jin Dynasties is not only an aesthetic pursuit, but also an expression of mentality and attitude towards life. It shows the literati's boredom with secular troubles and their yearning for quiet nature.

In the turbulent social environment, the prevalence of breeze has become a cultural phenomenon, showing the unique humanistic spirit and aesthetic taste in ancient China culture. This emotion of pursuing nature and being far away from utility greatly influenced the later cultural tradition and had a far-reaching impact on the development of China's classical culture.
