What is meant by the aesthetic tradition of the Japanese nation?

The Japanese ancestors not only tried to learn from the material civilization of the mainland, but also desperately studied and accepted the advanced ideological concepts of the mainland, such as Confucianism and Buddhism. The traditional Chinese cultural idea of "the way of the middle ground" was transferred to Japan and became "the way of harmony", which emphasized impartiality, modesty and elegance, and later became the aesthetic tradition of the Japanese nation. The formation of this aesthetic tradition is related to the gentle character of the primitive Japanese ancestors who have been living in a cozy natural environment, and this national character is more likely to accept the philosophical ideas of the "Way of the Mediocre" of Mainland China.
