The Emergence Of Zen Aesthetic Life Thoughts In Song Dynasty Poetry,Painting And Music

Art and Zen can be described as mutually photographic and communion in terms of internal psychological mechanisms.During the Two Song Dynasties,with the flourishing of the Zen style,the literati who were fond of zen were all about zen with art,and there was no shortage of well-educated people in the Zen forest who used the charm of art and the people in the red dust to secretly understand the song,and the life idea of Zen was embedded in poetry,painting,music and other art forms.The interaction and communion between Zen philosophy and the art world is fundamentally the mutual photography of the "art realm" and the "Zen realm" in the path of expressing life,celebrating life,and exploring the "source of life".As a result,the symbiosis and harmony of art and Zen inspired and gave rise to entirely new art forms: Zen poetry,Zen painting and Zen music.These three artistic "new stars" became the spokesmen for Zen life ideas and artistic realms during the Two Song Dynasties,when "Admiring Literati and suppressed martial arts",that is,literature and art were highly developed.The three major art forms of "poetry","painting" and "music" have an eulogistic relationship of "isomorphic synaesthesia" in the aesthetic dimension of art.The establishment of this communion relationship not only depends on the artistic characteristics and aesthetic characteristics that exist together between the three,but also in the long evolution of ancient Chinese traditional culture,the literati and doctors have also taken their unique spiritual world of advocating the "hidden" style as a bridge connecting the three aesthetic evidences of "poetry","painting" and "music".If "poetry" is regarded as the "imagery flow" of the aesthetic subject in one dimension,then "painting" is the "multi-dimensional" embodiment of this onedimensional art form from line to surface,and the literati landscape paintings that swept the literati and doctor groups in the two Song Dynasties gradually turned to the communion and integration of "poetry and painting uniformity" under the advocacy of Su Shi and others.Under the guidance of the high degree of ideological selfconsciousness of the two Song dynasty scholars,the "music",which is more abstract than "poetry" and "painting",has gradually departed from the Confucian aesthetic constraint that the musical form and its content performance need to be "stopped by etiquette",making music the third largest medium that can show the spiritual realm of the two Song scholars after "poetry" and "painting".In fact,these three freehand "witnessing realms" are not only the Group of Song Dynasty literati and doctors with artistic self-consciousness,but also the many Zen disciples and great masters who can walk freely between the earthly world and the Zen forest.Most of them have penetrated the three disciplines,are good at analyzing the Buddhist Zen method through Confucian teachings in concise and concise texts,and can keenly integrate the boring and mysterious Zen sutras with various artistic disciplines in a way that is popular with literati and doctors,among which naturally the three dominant arts of the Song Dynasty of"poetry","painting"and"music"are the primary way to"enter"the spiritual world of scholars.The group of Zen monks and scholars became increasingly frequent in the two Song Dynasties,and the gradual connection between Zen thought and the realm of art also made the margin between Zen and art inseparable from each other.In this way,Zen thought has become a"manifestation"that has swept the song and song dynasties and has no difference in scenery through the power of art.And because the"Zen Realm"and the"Art Realm"("Art Realm")pursued by Zen Thought have the principle of"seeking the same qi"in terms of exploring the true meaning of life and seeking the meaning of life,the aesthetic thought of the mixture of the two also has the same life attributes as"seeking the Buddha’s path upwards and transforming sentient beings downwards".In short,the so-called"Zen thought","Zen aesthetics",and"life thought"that appear in the"poetry and painting music"under the pseudonym of"the three realms of enlightenment",their ideological core and spiritual origin all come from a"heart body"(the source of life)that is difficult to find like"snow and mud claws,antelope hanging horns".The relationship between these three is actually"the same qi and branches,one and the same."In addition to this"mind essence"(the source of life)that exists to prove the"true face of Theravada",all the sectarian theories that have been extended in this way,the Buddhist Zen sutras,and the aesthetic objects of"poetry and painting"that exist as artistic reflections of the"heart ontology"(the source of life)and exist with Zen are all gathered together by delusional insights,causes and conditions.These multitudes of"incarnations"of self-nature,together with thousands of lifetimes,merge into a"turbulent stream of life"that envelops sentient beings in the sea of suffering,and the"Three Realms of Enlightenment"that connects them in one place and unifies them in one place is a convenient way for sentient beings to realize the"source of life"and return to the"body of the heart"through these many forces.As the initial doorway of the "Three Realms of Enlightenment",the "Realm Phase" mainly contains the ten thousand laws of the world through the artistic "world phase"(imagery),so that the aesthetic subject,while appreciating the highly figurative artistic realm of poetry,painting and music corresponding to this doorway,can realize the two opposing root dust confrontation between the subject’s "mind"(inner realm)and the "daily use realm" embodiment of the natural wind objects depicted in the art work.The significance of the realization of this state of confrontation lies not only in clarifying the antagonistic relationship between the aesthetic subject and the "image" in the "art realm",but also in the realization of the inherent water and moon phase between the "turbulence of life" and the "mind" of the subject in the "present state" that it reflects.As an artistic reflection of the subject’s "mind" in the "present state",all the aesthetic perceptions it learns in the Zen "art realm" must be in the form of "two mirrors(realms)hand-held as a combination,and the two lights are taken by ten thousand heavy lights" to help fail to recognize the principle of"ten thousand laws and emptiness",and the subject’s"mind"immersed in the chaotic and foggy state is aware of the reality that the subject’s discriminating perceptions(six consciousnesses)generated when the"six roots and six dusts"are all delusional.All these are to lay a solid foundation for the subsequent"root dust ripping off"of the subject’s mind.The process of the subjective"mind"forming the"emptiness view"step by step in this initial doorway is embodied in the process of Zen poetry,Zen paintings,and Zen music"contemplation of the situation"corresponding to the principle of"situation and situation",that is,the selfsubordination of"comparing the situation with the situation","looking at the mind of the situation"and"hearing the sound and seeking the Tao".Secondly,the journey of the "Three Realms of Enlightenment" of realizing the "origin of life" has entered the stage of the Confrontation between the Dharma "Mindfulness" and the Subject’s "Mind"(Delusional View)formed on the basis of all the Buddha’s teachings such as "Emptiness View",and at this stage,all the antagonistic acts between the subject’s "delusional perception" and "mindfulness" have all been absorbed into the category of the principle of "situational phase control",becoming the main force in the two realms.In the "artistic realm" corresponding to this principle of "realm phase system",whether it is the "life enlightenment" in the "Three Seals of the Sect Gate",or the contemplation of the mind in "Controlling the Mind in One Place" in the "Cow Herding Map",or the life body evidence of "personnel impermanence" in "Xiaoxiang Water Clouds",it is no longer the joy of the Zen art in the "Situation of the Realm" when it was first introduced.The "realm system" is the confusion and struggle of the subject’s "mind" looking around for the "door of life" after full awakening,and the "right understanding and correct view" that was known when he first entered the path has become a restrictive force comparable to the subject’s "mind" at this stage,constantly dissolving the greed and foolishness in the "mind consciousness" who want to "strive to get out of the delusional view".The two twins of good and evil forces that "know and see" drive the subject to constantly compromise,fight,compromise,and fight again in the entanglement with the worldly world.After several rounds of competition,the subject’s "mind" or the "turbulence of life" that is disillusioned by the earthly world is regarded as the object of the final "rounding".On this basis,the state of mind after the dissolution of the two realms is the realization of a certain "harmony of the world" achieved by the subject’s "mind" after constantly fighting against his own life.Finally,the life journey of the "Three Realms of Enlightenment" finally reaches the last "prison pass" before the "Gate of Life and Death",which is the last pass of enlightenment to realize the "origin of life" and return to the "original face of Ming Shangzuo".In the artistic realm of poetry and painting that corresponds to this realm,the boundaries between Zen and art are already not very clear,and they are not separated from each other.Whether it is the senseless "righteousness and righteousness" in the image of the "empty ship",or the transcendent expanse of teasing life and death in the "sound of the weasel",they all point to a realm of "six phases of harmony" that is completely different from the wisdom of "harmony in the world" and "sound and color".This "harmony" realm that transcends life and death is the "emptiness" consciousness that follows the principle of "knowing emptiness,realizing emptiness,and realizing emptiness" in the middle and lower levels of the "three realms of enlightenment",and it is the life harmony of "one enlightenment is to the Buddha’s land".In the present tense,all the hues and dharma phases projected in the "turbulence of life" are scattered by cause and effect,and all the informed consciousnesses,including the Dharma "mindfulness," are all returned to the great freedom of "following fate and doing whatever happens." Whether it is the "art realm" or the "Zen realm",it is in the "origin of life" after the "prison barrier" of life and death is broken.The subject’s "mind" is also in this harmonious realization that there is no distinction between the subject and the guest,and there is no need to be born or destroyed,and all of them are attributed to the eternal "Zen Joy Dharma Joy" of the "mind essence"(the source of life).
