Aesthetic Attitude As A Life Style

Most of the researches have done on Wangwei are stressing on either his live experience, or the art of his works and the resources of his mind. This thesis tries to break through the traditional mode and studies from Wangwei's poetry texts rather than his life ,on aesthetics rather than literary, using the ancient Greek philosophy Scotis's theory "as a way of life", associating with the maladies of modern society, discussing the aesthetic value of Wang Wei's Poetry and its enlightenment to us today.Wangwei's Poetry's authentic telling that primarily reflected in the main aesthetic body which has surpassed the utilitarian and achieved true freedom; the attitude to nature is from the perspective of "nature to nature" and in the state of without being. During the whole aesthetic activity, the subject and the object forget each other, human is in harmony with the heaven and achieve aesthetic pleasure. Wangwei practices this aesthetic attitude in his daily life, such as being obedient to the nature, living a simple life, holding the surpassing view on death, etc. The enlightenment that Wangwei's poems bring to us is his life Philosophy which values present, the aesthetic attitude on daily life, and something like the harmony between human and nature or protecting the ecological environment that should be advocated in the postindustrial timesWangwei's poems can make us calm, in the natural and beautiful world which Wangwei brought us in his landscape poems, human is in harmony with the heaven. We will put aside the noisy outside world, and really free in our soul and spirit. As the Scotists regard the Philosophy as a living style, Wangwei practices his natural aesthetic activity in his daily life, living naturally, simply, and surpassing life and death. The ancient Western philosophy and the simple philosophy of Taoism and Buddhism, along with the natural poems of Golden Tang Dynasty, are living through thousands of years, lightening the thought of modern people, bringing calm and cool to the wilderness of modern civilization.
