On Ji Kang's Aesthetic Life

Ji Kang's whole life shows aesthetic color of transcendence, and the paper will discuss Ji Kang's aesthetic life from three aspects of the intrinsic idea, the ideal of aesthetic life and the real life experience and poetic performance.The first part discusses the intrinsic idea of Ji Kang's aesthetic life, and try to find the accordance of thought .This involved Ji Kang's idea on "Nature of Tao" and "Nature of Humanity", and the paper thinks that Ji Kang's idea of "Nature of Tao" is nature without action and it inherits and carries forward Taoism, and discusses the issues of truth from the height of ontology. "Nature of Humanity" is nature with action, and it absorbs the Confucianism on a selective basis, and discusses the issues of real affection from the perspective of the individual. The second part discusses Ji Kang's aesthetic life ideal and the life experiences of reality, and pries into Ji Kang's life from the conflict of the notion and the reality, as well as the inner contradictions of Ji Kang's idea. It can be seen that in reality Ji Kang is not only clinging and uninhibited and is paying close attention to reality, but also is grievous and aloof and frank. The third part discusses the poetic performance of Ji Kang's aesthetic life from the external perspective, and reveals its own aesthetic personality and aesthetic stamp of life in the art life and everyday life.Ji Kang's thought is full of confusing and the spirit of resistance and suspicion in the three-dimensional tension of the reality and the ideal and the temperament, and some seemingly "contradictory" things are full of Ji Kang's whole life. We can show the true character of Ji Kang's aesthetic life from analyzing these things which seem to be "contradictory", and they mainly concern on Ji Kang's understanding and digestion of the nature and Ji Kang's aesthetic ideal and poetic performance and so on. The way Ji Kang uses to convey his thought has a unique aesthetic quality, and the convection that is full of tension corresponds to the contradictory of inner thought. Tension is the pull of all sides of contradictory, and the tension of conviction is outward manifestation of the tension of inherent idea, as well as making Ji Kang's aesthetic life is full of poetry and pathos.
