What is the core of the perceptual and intuitive aesthetic thinking mode of China traditional art?

1. How to understand the traditional artistic spirit of China?

A: China traditional art is deeply rooted in the rich soil of China traditional culture, which reflects the cultural psychology and aesthetic consciousness of the Chinese nation. China's traditional artistic spirit is very rich, which can be roughly summarized into six aspects: Tao, Qi, Mind, Dance, Enlightenment and Harmony.

(1) Tao-the Spirituality of China Traditional Art

"The Unity of Heaven and Man" determines that the basic spirit of China's ancient philosophy is to pursue the harmony and unity between man and man and between man and nature. "Unity of Heaven and Man" is the core category of China traditional culture. It is not only a theory about the relationship between man and nature, but also a theory about the ideal and value of life. "Harmony between man and nature" emphasizes that human nature is heaven, moral principles are consistent with the laws of nature, and the highest ideal of life should be harmony between man and nature, including harmony between man and everything, as well as harmony between people. One of the most fundamental differences between China culture and western culture is that the former emphasizes "the unity of man and nature" while the latter emphasizes "the dichotomy of subject and object". "Tao" embodies the unity of man and nature, that is, "the unity of man and nature"

(2) Qi-the vitality of China traditional art.

The spiritualization and animation of material qi can be said to be the essential feature of China's "Qi Theory". "Qi" occupies a very important position in the traditional culture of China. Not only Chinese medicine, qigong, opera performance, painting and calligraphy all talk about "qi" first. China's traditional aesthetics uses "Qi" to explain the origin of beauty, and advocates artistic description and expression of the rhythm and harmony of endless life and vitality of all things in the universe. China's aesthetics attaches great importance to nourishing qi and advocates that artists should constantly improve their moral cultivation and knowledge level. "Qi" is a summary of the artist's physiological and psychological factors and creative ability; It is also required to combine the artist's subjective "qi" with the objective "qi" of the universe, so that "qi" becomes a symbol of the inner spirit and artistic life of artistic works. "Vivid charm" has become the general principle of Chinese painting creation, which profoundly reflects the basic characteristics of China's classical aesthetics.

(3) Heart-the aesthetics of China's traditional art.

China's traditional aesthetics and China's traditional art attached great importance to people's subjectivity from the very beginning, holding that art is the surface of the soul, and the soul is the king of all things, and advocating the monism of heart and music, heart and matter. Therefore, China's classical aesthetics and China's traditional art have always emphasized the integration of aesthetic subject and object, believing that the beauty of literature and art lies in the integration of emotion and scenery, mind and things, and man and nature.

(4) Dance-the musical wisdom of China's traditional art.

In the ancient land of China, primitive totem songs and dances and fanatical witchcraft ceremonies once formed a spectacular scene of dragon and phoenix dances. In the ancient art of China, poetry, music and dance were trinity at first, but only later did they gradually divide and form different artistic categories with their own characteristics. The spirit of "Music and Dance" with strong vitality has not disappeared, but gradually infiltrated into various art categories in China, reflecting the vivid form and style of dance.

(5) Enlightenment-the intuitive thinking of China's traditional art.

Attaching importance to intuition is one of the important features of China's traditional way of thinking. This traditional way of thinking has also had a great influence on China's traditional artistic thinking and aesthetic thinking, especially the perceptual and intuitive aesthetic thinking with "enlightenment" as the core. As one of the important categories of China's aesthetics and art, "Wu" occupies a very important position in the creation and appreciation of China's traditional art, and a series of related categories such as "epiphany" and "wonderful enlightenment" are derived. A real artist must have "understanding". The biggest difference between artists and artists is that the former controls skills with Tao, while the latter has skills without Tao.

(6) Harmony-the dialectical thinking of China's traditional art.

"Harmony" refers to the diversity and unity of opposites of things, and it is the realization of the unity of all parties to the contradiction. The thought of unity of opposites has become a distinctive simple dialectical thinking view in China's ancient philosophy, and has had a great influence on China's traditional aesthetics and art. Many classic words in China's traditional aesthetics and art are in the form of unity of opposites, such as rigidity, softness, reality, movement, form and spirit, quality, feeling, scenery, image and artistic conception. Among them, the spiritual aspect is more dominant in the unity of contradictions. It is this dialectical thinking, which shines with the rational wisdom of the Chinese nation, that has had a great influence on China's traditional art and aesthetic thought, and formed a dialectical view of harmony with national characteristics-the "harmony" in China's traditional art and aesthetic thought.

2. What is artistic significance?

A: Artistic implication refers to the inner meaning or meaning deeply hidden in works of art, which is often ambiguous, vague and hazy, and is embodied as a kind of philosophy, poetry or charm. Often it can only be understood, but it can't be expressed. It needs the appreciator to understand it repeatedly, carefully understand it and explore it wholeheartedly. It is also the fundamental reason why literary works are not worthy of artistic charm.

First, in a sense, artistic meaning is the cultural meaning and humanistic spirit contained in works of art.

Second, artistic implication means that works of art should embody infinity in finiteness, inevitability in contingency and universality in individuals. Excellent works of art always convey profound philosophy of life or ideological connotation through vivid and touching artistic images.

Thirdly, this deep meaning in works of art is sometimes vague and ambiguous, which not only causes different opinions of the appreciator, but also makes the artist himself incomprehensible.

Fourthly, this implication in artistic works is not entirely the theme reflected by artistic images. Compared with the theme of works of art, artistic implication is a more metaphysical thing. It is a kind of philosophy or poetry, which can only be understood, but not expressed. Only by understanding and appreciating the whole work can we grasp the inner meaning.

Fifth, as the third level of artistic implication, there is no
