Tang Dynasty Aesthetic Paradigm

According to Tang (唐) essay corpora, the doctor' s degree thesis exploringly studies aesthetics paradigm of Tang (唐) dynasty. The essential clue of this thesis restes with liquidating the thoughts history of Tang (唐) dynasty. The intention consists in discussing the especial essence of Tang (唐) dynasty aesthetics paradigm.The main view is Tang (唐) dynasty aesthetics paradigm can be macroscopicaly hold by the collectivity modality, thoughts fountainhead and thinking character. The collectivity modality of Tang (唐) dynasty aesthetics paradigm chiefly makes up of the poetic being aesthetics paradigm, as well as the intellectual and ethical aesthetics paradigm. Its thoughts fountainhead consists in the composing process of the thoughts of Tang(唐) dynasty among Confucian(儒) Taoism (道) and Buddhism(释) . Its thinking character is the existing of the momentary being. In my opinion, Tang (唐) dynasty aesthetics paradigm can be analysed by ontological paradigm, subjectivity paradigm, creating paradigm, experiencing paradigm and character paradigm.Firstly, the aesthetic ontological paradigm mainly includes "Yuan"(元) and "Tao" (道) . As the root paradigm, "Yuan" (元) has not creating interpret about the origin and reality of the world, but protruding the aesthetic meaning in art. The advocation of humanism is surely great at that time even there is no more advance of "Tao" (道) ' s study in doctrinal aspect, which at least designates inner-way outlet. The two paradigms basically belong to parallel relation. There are not logic relation between each other. It is difficult to find the essence of Tang(唐) dynasty aesthetics paradigm in the aesthetic ontological paradigm. Secondly, the aesthetic subjectivity paradigm mainly includes"Xin" (心) "Xing" (性) "Qing" (情) "RenYi" (仁义) "Sheng" (圣) and "Ling" (灵) . As the aesthetic subjectivity, "Xin" (心) is the momentary being subjectivity which encounter the momentary world. The regress of real life ascribing to "Xing" (性) is the ultimate aim of Xing-resumption theory which enlighten the transcendence of being for real life. It was thought that "Qing" (情) is the negation ofXing-resumption theory or nature longing for people as whole life, but the existence of "Qing" () is very hard to be guaranteed because of limited choice space. "RenYi" () unfurls life based on ethical foundation. In Confucian, personality is the transcendence of being. When"Sheng" () behaves this, "Sheng" () becomes the apotheosis of personality. As a sort of turning point for spirit communication,"Ling" () showes obviously the transcendence of being and embodies fully in Tang () art theory. All of these paradigms surround human nature that indicates the subjectivity had basically gone to inner-life. The aesthetic subjectivity paradigm is basically the explicit form of the poetic being aesthetics paradigm. It bases on the transcendence of being and evolves adequately the especial essence of Tang () dynasty aesthetics paradigm.Thirdly, the aesthetics creating paradigm mainly includes "FengGu"() "MeiCi" () "FaDu" () and "FuMi" () . "FengGu"() manifests deeply the essential of life spirit through warrant. "MeiCi" () has steadied as the result of speculative coruse. "FaDu" () ultimately transcends itself and creates the whole standards for art action, it is not only a kind of form, but also makes The aesthetics subjectivity experiencing intuitionally the reality. "FuMi" () predicates the dense form aesthetics which running through Tang () dynasty aesthetics all the while. There are relax structural relationship among these categories. There are the ethical life aesthetics paradigm and the form aesthetics paradigm in the aesthetic creating paradigm, meanwhile there are the poetic being aesthetics paradigm connoted in the form aesthetics paradigm. The aesthetics creating paradigm embodies the essence of Tang () dynasty aesthetic paradigm to some extent.Fourthly, the aesthetic experiencing paradigm mainly includes"Kong" () and "Wu" () . The essentiality of "Kong" () is experi...
