On The Wang Guowei's Artistic View Of Tragedy

Wang Guowei was deeply infiltrated by Chinese classical theories and inspired by Western theories.Therefore,in his artistic view of tragedy,he could not only see Confucian "benevolence" thoughts,Taoist "materialization" and "object observation" ideas,but also could see the "genius view","beauty in form",and "aesthetic" from Kant.The ideology of pessimism,which is based on the idea of "utilitarianism",the theory of Schopenhauer,liberation,and "tragedy is the highest peak of literature and art".From the tragedy art creation,the tragedy artistic aesthetics to the tragedy artistic value theory,Wang Guowei's artistic view of tragedy forms a clear context and framework.In tragic artistic creation,he believed that the height of tragic art is closely related to the talent of “genius” and that tragedy art is a product of genius alone.The more genius,the more tragic art works will be created;Talent,influenced by the simple empiricism of Confucianism,Wang Guowei also paid attention to the cultivation of acquired talents and the accumulation of experience.Therefore,he believed that the “cultivating energy” acquired has an important value for the creation of tragic art.The concept of "realm" is an important concept in Wang Guowei's aesthetic system.He believed that "realm" expresses a subject-object relationship between the artist and the objective world.Tragedy art is produced by this subject and object.Wang Guowei praised the "childlike character".He took Li Xi as an example,and he believed that maintaining the "childlike character" is of great significance to the creation of tragedy art.Wang Guowei paid special attention to the aesthetic qualities of tragic art.Wang Guowei emphasized "the third tragedy" in his article "A Dream of Red Mansions." He believed that this kind of tragedy can open the curtain of Maya life and has a stunning beauty of tragic art.As an literary style,“Quaintness” can be found through Wang Guowei's interpretation of “Quaint”,and it can be found that the tragedy art with this style has a unique detachment beauty.Wang Guoweiappreciated the Yuan Zaju,because Yuan Zaju has a “tragedy” and reflects a natural beauty.Wang Guowei believed that "adownright tragedy" has the value of anti-feudalism and subversion of traditional art concepts.In the art of tragedy one can see the pain of life,so appreciation of artistic tragedy can enable people to get rid of art aesthetics.According to Aristotle's "purification theory," Wang Guowei also believed that the art of tragedy also has a role in purifying and sublimating people's hearts.
