Zong Baihua(1897-1986) ,the prominent poet, philosopher and esthetician in mordern times, hashis characteristics in the feilds of esthetics researching. He takes the Chinese tradition worldview,philosophy view as the source, takes the exquisite art articles during more than 5,000 years inchina as the foundation and takes the western esthetics, philosophy, psychology researching as thereference. He had discovered the unique value of Chinese art spirit -manifested the Chinesetradition life consciousness and personalit by combining well-trained philosophy thoughts with theexperience of esthetic and promulgated the national characteristic of the Chinese esthetics researchand its important status.in the world esthetics researching.Zong Baihua begins his esthetics researching for the life. From this, in this article, we makeeffort to inquires the attention to the life value and the personality beauty by taking "esthetics forlife" as a clue. The esthetic ideal, in Zong Baihua's thoughts, is the ideal personality and estheticsfor life manner. Beutiful personality and the idealized personality, not only is ZongBaihua'sesthetic ideal, in other words, also is the artistic ideal and the life ideal. Thus, he proposed theartistic veiw of life by combining esthetic with the life, art, and philosophy. This kind of idealizedartistic life, is the JinRen's esthetic in the Chinese ancient times and Goethe's enterprising spirit inthe west.Art takes personality beuty as the attribute, the personality also takes worldview as a foundation.In other words, universe consciousness decides which kind of personality is the ideal personality,at the same time also decides any type art is the ideal art. Therefore, in Mr. Zong's vew, keydifference of esthetics between chinese art and western art, lies in the universe consciousness. It isChinese unique universe consciousness which decided Chinese's unique ideal of esthetic sense, toresult the characteristic Chinese tradition art.Then, how does the esthetic consciousness relate with the universe consciousness? In ZongBaihua's esthetics thoughts, it is music consciousness which having the rhythm feeling, exerciserelates esthetic consciousness and the universe consciousness . by itself Universe is the movement,having the rhythm and the harmonious order;Therefore, the beautiful life and art also should havethe rhythm and the harmonious order. Bersonality beuty and artistic beauty have all rhythm todisplayed this kind of harmony and the order.This kind universe consciousness with rhythm, caused the Chinese tradition art to form theunique artistic conception( that is in the main a meaning and poetic state). Mr. Zong's artisticartistic conception theory, refers to one kind of the different level relations which human contactwith the world. In the respect of essense of beauty, he exerts a strong and distinctive persuit for thevalue of life in which the subject and the object are unifued . he regards "beauty" as the unity of"natural creation" and "spiritual resource"and the unity of the objective trait and the subjectiveexperiance ,and put the unit in the inner activity of life .Because the artistic ideal is decided the universe consciousness, and universe consciousness andthe artistic ideal are interlinked in music rhythm, so Chinese tradition art each class is interlinkedin music and in "the dance". This kind of universe consciousness causes the Chinese art not toadopt the focal point perspective, but favors the astigmatism perspective, thus displays it therhythm and the melody which is interlinked with the universe. Also as a result of this reason, theblank which in the Chinese art utilizes, is not also no obstinate spatial, but is big is popular, createsthe myriad things life fountainhead. The blank utilization, causes the mind emotions to changeinto the rhythm, creates the life rhythm body with the universe to gather, causes the universerhythm, the energetic rhythm and the artistic rhythm ingenious fusion in the artistic form.It can be seen, Mr. Zong's artistic ideal theory, the universe consciousness, the life ideal and theartistic performance synthesis whose source has lain in the realistic life. Its goal still lay in thelife reality. Therefore, the life creation must like artistic, the life manner must like the appreciationart work the manner. In the artistic conception ,Zong Baihua has the similar view with ZhuGuangqian in the same time. Therefore, it is necessary to make comparison beteen two estheticsold people's viewpoint, may see the true esthetics is precisely "for the life" esthetics.Besides the introduction and the conclusion, this article divides into six parts.
