Zong Baihua aesthetic walk after reading

After carefully reading a work, you must have a new sense and view of life, and it is time to be quiet and write a good after-reading. So do you really know how to write after reading? The following is my collection of Zong Baihua aesthetics walk after reading, just for reference, you take a look at it.

Aesthetics has traditionally given people a feeling of emptiness. Because aesthetics normally depends on the existence of history, literature, art and so on, and become the soul of history and literature. All along, aesthetes talk about aesthetics from history or literature and art to start.

For example, in The Course of Beauty, Mr. Li Zehou combed aesthetics according to the development of history. From ancient times to the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. One by one, seemingly unrelated minutiae are sifted out from history and strung together, forming a vein of aesthetics that stretches over thousands of years, if hidden. The ability to pinpoint and take the pulse of aesthetics in a thousand years of history undoubtedly has a very high demand for aesthetic acumen.

In fact, Zhu Guangqian, another great aesthetician, has also elaborated on aesthetics according to the meridian of history. In the history of Western aesthetics, we see, in fact, not only beauty, but also the combination of Western history and culture. It is the different understanding of beauty, different appreciation and thinking from the Athenian Academy to Kant, Hegel and Schopenhauer. The difference is that Zhu Guangqian treats human beings as a spectator, watching the development of beauty, its sublimation and change, and treats "me" as an out-of-the-way recorder, recording the aesthetic system of millions of words, which is solemn and grand. Li Zehou, on the other hand, held a negative attitude towards this attitude. He believes that beauty emerges with the emergence of man.

Man is the connoisseur of beauty, but also the creator. The feeling of beauty originates in human thinking, and thus if people do not exist, beauty does not exist. Can not say that the two masters who is right or wrong, can only say that this is the collision of materialist aesthetics and idealist aesthetics. But in my personal opinion, feel the dragon flying phoenix dance ancient totems, touch the rusty bronze, chanting Oh swallowed the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty poetry, appreciate the elegant and transcendent landscape paintings than a serious look at the heavy history, explore a philosophical treatise brought about by a sense of beauty more in-depth, and more can cause a common man from the heart of the **** song.

It would be good to look at Aesthetic Walks again. The same is a prestigious work of aesthetics, Mr. Zong Baihua did not like the first two in accordance with the development of Chinese and Western history to sort out the lineage of beauty. As the title says, this book is like a walk, an aimless walk. Wherever he goes, he picks up something and explains it. At first glance, it seems that this book is not systematic at all, but simply a collection of essays, landscapes, sketches, sculptures, calligraphy, philosophy and poetry. But in the midst of this chaos, Mr. Zong Baihua methodically takes us to explore the big questions of aesthetics: emptiness and reality, the Tao, white space, dance, and the meaning of life. In the collision and fusion of the opposites of emptiness and reality, yin and yang, fullness and blankness, supreme rationality and supreme life, etc., everything has reached the state of realization, and thus beauty is created. Comparing it with the materialist aesthetics of Zhu Guangqian and Cai Yi, we find that Zong Baihua and Li Zehou coincide with each other in this respect.

Materialistic aesthetics researchers are y involved in ontology, epistemology, and other studies, so the study of aesthetics becomes more and more difficult, and the system is huge and difficult to understand. Zong Baihua and Li Zehou chose another way, jumping out, no longer study the philosophical logic of beauty. They believed that instead of searching for the logic of beauty and the principle of beauty in the vast ocean of history and literature, it is better to explore your heart. Because the feeling of beauty originates from your heart. Rodin's sculpture, Tao Yuanming Xie Lingyun's landscape poetry, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is good, good where, it is because they integrate themselves and the object of beauty, through a form of art to express, outward discovery of nature, inward search of the self, so landscape and other external objects etherealized, also attached to the sentiment, the beauty of the natural also produced. This realm has a bit of the Taoist sense of the unity of heaven and man. Therefore, when you look at "Aesthetic Walk", "The Course of Beauty", it is easy to feel a return to simplicity, meditate on the religious realm of heaven and man.

Having said that about the materialism and materialism of aesthetics. On the other hand, it may be worthwhile to look at the basis of these aesthetic writings.

For example, A Walk in Aesthetics is mainly based on the concepts of yin and yang and reality, and on the aesthetic mind to expound beauty. As for the sketches, sculptures and so on, it also focuses on the artist's own realm of thought, rather than based on professional techniques. Therefore, it can be said that this is a book of the heart, his logic is the beginning of the West Mountain Banquet Travels in the "and all of the world's harmony" transcendent realm. To read this book, you can't use your brain, only your heart. The vast millions of words of the "history of western aesthetics" is rooted in western history, explore the history of aesthetics, each place of discussion focuses on the logic, strict analysis of the development of various aesthetic philosophical schools, inheritance. If the aesthetics of the walk is a random blooming valley orchid, the history of Western aesthetics is more like a deep-rooted, leafy oak tree.

Similar to A History of Western Aesthetics, The Course of Beauty also relies on history, only on the history of China. The study of beauty in this book is not as logical as the History of Western Aesthetics, and the source and direction of a branch, a leaf and a vein are clear. The course of beauty for the Chinese history of beauty, take a kind of bold take, feel the pulse point of the beauty of the millennium, dragon and phoenix totem, bronze taotie, Chu rhetoric and Tang poetry, Wei and Jin style and so on and so forth. He picks out one point of extreme beauty from the sea of history and connects it into a single line. If Zhu Guangqian is the Great Yu, who generally opened up the mountains and rivers of the nine states, each in its own way, then Li Zehou is the legendary master of dragon spotting, looking out of the corner of his eye to find out the mountains and rivers, a peak and a ridge, and pointing out the dragon vein of aesthetics.

As for Jiang Xun's Meditations on Beauty and Wang Guowei's Words on Earth, they are different from the previous books. Meditations on Beauty focuses on calligraphy, and Words on Earth focuses on poetry. It seems that one book is a treatise on calligraphy and the other is an appreciation of poetry. However, it always lets you feel the catharsis of beauty. Jiang Xun, like Wang Guowei, was once devoted to the study of Western aesthetics, Jiang Xun inherited from Tainer, Wang Guowei inherited from Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. And then, they were surprisingly consistent in feeling the beauty of the Chinese land, and put their eyes back to the land of China.

So these two books are based on two ancient Chinese art forms - calligraphy and poetry. It is easy to see that despite the shadow of Western beauty, the roots of these two books are still Chinese. Wang Guowei, for example, inherited the beauty of Chinese elegance and put forward the familiar realm theory on the basis of Yan Yu's and Wang Shizhen's theory of charm and interest. This is why the three realms of beauty are known to Chinese women and children.

In fact, no matter how you look at it, this book after book has its own characteristics, but also has a thousand links. Each aesthete has developed his own system, yet fails to show the totality of beauty. And when these writings are put together, it is easy to realize that this is in fact the beauty that we humans have come to know. The logical, the inner, the austere, the void.

And what is actually brought to us through Aesthetic Walks, The Journey of Beauty, is that more aspects of beauty are shown. As long as the history of mankind will continue, then mankind will continue to create more and more beauty. We may not be able to fully illuminate all the beauty that has existed from the beginning of time to the present. But at least, by reading book after book, we can get a little pulse of aesthetics. Thus, as the main character of aesthetics, the builder of beauty, to participate in the creation of this magnificent subtle and varied epic of aesthetics.
