Zongbaihua is one of the founders of Chinese modern aesthetics, literature studiesand the study of art. In the mid-1980s of 20th century the study of Zongbaihua'sthought has gradually become a hot of academic research, many academic researcherswere attracted, but the fields of academic research pay more attention to his aesthetics,a masterpiece of a comprehensive study to the study of art has not have been produced.In the guidance of materialist dialectics, the article has a comprehensive specificinterpretation of Zongbaihua's thought of the study of art with historical methods andways of theory with practical to help us understand the creatives and inspiration ofZongbaihua's the study of art , but more importantly, we can have this opportunity toreflect on the journey of development of art, overcome our own shortcomings ofresearch and build the study of art of 21st century in China.First of all, formation and development of Zongbaihua's thought of the study of art areexplained. Different characteristics of Zongbaihua's thought of the study of art atdifferent times are highlighted. New quality of his thought of the study of art isemphasized after he accepted Marxism.Second, "metaphysical" principles of Zongbaihua's thought of the study of art areexplained from the theoretical source , philosophical basis and methodology.Zongbaihua established own system of life philosophy with a national characteristics.The base of life philosophy is made up of four operational structure of "Tao, Qi,image,kind" and sense of space-time. "Tao" is the first point of his life philosophy;"Qi" is the body of his life philosophy;"image" is the pattern of his life philosophy;"kind"is the state of his life philosophy, which is described as the unique explain ofZongbaihua's life philosophy. The space-time awareness is an important part of worldview. Zongbaihua's space-time awareness is the integration of the space-time conceptof "Book of Change" and Einstein's concept of "four-dimension space". Einsteincreated the theory of relativity, criticized Western traditional "static space" thatseparates time and space and fragments material and space and explained his "four-dimension space" theory. Einstein repeatedly explained that the space and thetime are the carrier of material and field, space-time integration forming the world withstructure of the thinking. Einstein's "four-dimension space" is space-time uniform,greatly expanding the space of people's thinking, which enable us to observe objectfrom static space to dynamic space with important value. Zongbaihua draw lessonsfrom Einstein's concept of "four-dimension space" and the space-time concept of"Book of Change" and develop his own unique space-time awareness.Third, the system Zongbaihua's thought of the study of art is interpreted.Including the research object and research methods of the study of art, the theory of artcreation, the theory of art appreciation, the theory of art form and the theory of artvalue. Zongbaihua's theory of artistic genius is analyzed, drawing lessons from thetheory of Kant, Schopenhauer but going beyond them. Kant considered genius havethe ability of imagine which is a natural endowment. Creative is the first character ofgenius. Zongbaihua thinks art genius have original imagination that artist suddenlyopened through accumulating over a long period without inherent talent, genius needloyal work. Zongbaihua does not completely copy Kant's view but learn from it andbeyond it. Schopenhauer think t genius escape from will, grasp the concept and have apure awareness without desire which genius is different from ordinary people. Genius'wisdom is more than his will. Zongbaihua also thinks genius have the quietly watchedstate with outstanding wisdom. Because genius can clearly see the world withoutstanding wisdom. Schopenhauer think that the world is suffering and bored, butgenius gifted can clearly see the suffering full of sorrow in the world with the quietlywatched eyes. Zongbaihua believed that there is a genius that not only see the worldclearly and see the world thoroughly. Such gifted works makes people painful whilebeyond sufferings, which requires extremely smart, understands the world clearly andhave sympathy with the generous forgiveness, So this is the "tears of laughter"-humour.Fourth, Zongbaihua's study of the typical arts is explained, including the theory ofPoem, the theory of Painting, the theory of Calligraphy, the theory of music, the theoryof Construction and the theory of drama. In the interpretation of Zongbaihua's theoryof painting, we analyzed his theoretical of Portrait, and this is unique scenery inZongbaihua's theory of painting.The Chinese scholars are concerned about thetheoretical summary of aesthetic characteristics of china painting and insufficientlyanalyze about theory of Portrait. The article have analysis from the aspect of spiritincluding the performance of inner spirit and the whole spirit. Zongbaihua grasped themain features of Portrait, have unique and meticulous theoretical analysis throughZongbaihua's explaining that inner spirit and eyes is the best performance of Portraitand performance of character and life posture are performed through clothing wrinklein Chinese Portrait.,Which is a important significance of contemporary Portrait. In theinterpretation of Zongbaihua's theory of music, to better understand difference oftheory of music between Confucius and Chuang Tzu, we make a form to compare thedifference from the name of music, type of music, characteristics of music, spirit ofphilosophy and cultural meaning. Confucius and Chuang Tzu appreciate differentmusic because of the spirit differences of philosophy and culture. Confucius payattention to shao music, because the spirit of the music integrate with the spirit of themoral;Chuang Tzu's pay attention to xianchi music which makes human fear, danger,doubt, ignorance, but the music can reach "Road" he said.Finally, the formation of the study of art, development of the study of art in china,Zongbaihua's outstanding contribution to the building of the study of art in China andthe important value of his thought of the study of art.
