Jin And View Of Nature

The prevailing concept of nature in Wei and Jin Dynasties among the intellectual class deeply influences their patterns of behaviors, interests of life, ideals of personality and also their arts literary works. This dissertation focuses on this core concept of this period-nature, to find out the evolution process and contents of details of this conceptThe first chapter, Imitation of Nature:the concept of nature in Taoism, Legalism. Lao zi's concept of "the principle of DAO is the concept of nature", Dao itself as the beings of universal follows as circulation has nothing attached to all and therefore follows the nature. Nature is viewed as the most perfect situation of beings, thus cannot be interrupted and damaged, but to obey and to aid. The formula of this concept is used by Fa~'in the political area to give strong support to imperialism. This kind of concept is used by imperials to manage their people with FA,SHU,SHI. Under this imperialism, nature is regarded as the best pattern of political operation. Zhangzi developed this concept in life, he regards that the best comfortable life is doing none with a transcendent attitude and keep company with time flows.The prevail of nature concept. The concept of nature prevails in Wei and Jin rising from the end of east Han dynasty. Sometimes the intellectuals with ideal sentiment on morality strengthen imperialism and opposition toward earthly world in their self-consciousness, and involves into lifer plight. Under this situation, nature as something more dynamic, more independent rises from plights and pressures. Metaphysics somewhat concerns this concept and therefore finds its stand foot.The world is a natural operation. The existentialism of nature contains meanings in three levels. The first one is something acts according to a model regulated by its nature is called "nature". This is the basic meaning. The second one is self-satisfying. The realization of one's nature is the biggest contentment. GUOXIANG goes a step further to recognize self-satisfying as XIAOYAO. The last one is the truth. The truth comes out at the base of the full realization of nature, it is the truth on life.Nullity. The prevail of nature is associated with nullity WANGBI views nothing as everything, his logic poses that everything depends nothing to exists, and nothing functions as the fulfillment of everything. However, RUANJI experiences the nullity of life in his life flow, he holds nullity as freedom to transcend the earthly world but with the price of loss in value. With the guide of nullity, nature walks toward fantasy, challenges the principles of the society, and takes away man's fundamental position of living in this world. GUOXIANG tries hard to reconcile this paradox, with insist on the pretext of holding concept of nature to change the core of human's nature, to make compromise between the generally moral value and the transcendental verity, to units nothing with everything.The natural trend. Many issues of Metaphysics based on nature. In the political field, it demands a form of governances with nothing to do; in morality, it demands a natural moral sense; in emotion, it clarifies the freedom of sentiments, and never continues the exclusion and avoidance of emotional expression; in health, the view that not only conform to the natural longevity more importantly, the resulting feeling of tranquil self-contained confirmed human dignity, independence, is a real pleasure, in tone; the sound of that beautiful music has its own body, independent of human emotion. This is actually the natural taste of life reflected in art.In short, nature is a key point to understand Wei Jin culture. This is not only a subject in intellectual history, but also covers part of the history of art and literature. This study without doubt helps a lot in a deeper understanding of literary phenomenon in Wei Jin.
