This aesthetic ideology have deeply effect on the development of Chinese aesthetics Life aesthetics appeared on the aesthetic stage naturally. We discuss ancient Chinese aesthetic ideology on this background. That is benificial to clarifing ancient Chinese aesthetic difficult problems, explaining ancient Chinese aesthetic ideology with a broad horizon and providing a frame of reference for establishing modern Cinese aesthetic systerm.Ancient Chinese life aesthetic ideology was broad and profound, furthermore, it involovedhuge and scattered material. Regarding the life aesthetic ideoligy of WenXin DiaoLong (The literary mind and the carving of dragons) as a case,l will throw a stone to clear the road and study the main character and the precious value of the whole ancient Chinese life aesthetic.This essay consist of 4 parts.In the 1st part, I narrate in order the life thought of the 20th centry aesthetic and outline the life aesthetic ideology.in the 2nd partj expound ancient Chinese life aesthetic ideology.Above all, lanalyze the formation of human life aesthetic consciousness deeply in the derection of science anthropology.l think that the formation of human life aesthetic consciousness derives of the aestheticsense of human life itself. However ,the aesthetic sense of human being has a extreme long development and developing process. Secondly I excavate deeply the deep layer of ancient Chinese life aesthetic ideology on the standard of the region culture, agriculture civilization and the universal view, TianRenHeYi(theory that man is an integral part of nature).Then, I draw a conclusion that literature and art is the object of human subject life and the outstanding characterof ancient Chinese life aesthetics. In the 3rd part, I mainly discuss the life aesthetic ideology of WenXinDiaoLong which is the master of our ancient Chinese culture thesis and aesthetic ideology. It contains the very rich and deep life"aesthetic ideology.This work is a huge symbol and the object of human life. Life aesthetic ideology is not only the base of WXDL,but also the clue of this theory systerm.Asthe core of this work'stheory systerm,the"pivot",whose original ideal follows;the whole universe revolves round 'celestial axis' which composed by North Star and Big Dipper.'celestial axis' life, even all living things and perfection.'Celestial axis' universe and their lives,each has his own individual character, so that the life"movement takes on myriadvariations in appearance, and make the world a world of beauty. Because it regards human being and universe as the life organism, so does articales, the thought that literature and artistic works are life organism'Pivot1 is not only the core and trunk of WXDL, But also the plenttiful implication of aesthetic ontology and methodology. Vigor of style' is WXDL's,meanwhile ancient Chinese aesthetic's important concept and category.lt is both a kind of function theiry and style theory of art-perfection. 'Vigor of style 'reflects the life character of completely and typically. In the 4th part, I expound the unique value of ancient Chinese aesthtic ideology. Though the analysis between Chinese and the western, we know that our ancient Chinese life aesthetic ideology involves individual life of human being, the personality, emotion, ambition and interest,moreover, it has deep philosophic, social and cultural intention. However the western life aesthetic emphasizes pure, abstract shape and structure. There are large difference between Chinese and the wester. This is the precious value of our studing ancient Chinese life aesthetic can provide a powerful theory fulcrum for establishing modern Chinese aesthetic systerm.The 5th part is conclusion.
