Zhang Yimou, in China's history of contemporary film artists, can not be avoided. His concept of film aesthetics is the history of contemporary Chinese cinema's most dazzling idea of a film. In some ways, Zhang Yimou's every film is a contemporary Chinese film leap. However, Zhang Yimou's understanding of the film can be said to equate in praise and criticism. In a lot of awareness of these, it is difficult to find a concept for the Zhang Yimou film aesthetic awareness and the overall summary. This article is up from an overall study of the characteristics of Zhang Yimou film aesthetics and practice of composition, while the latter is the focus of this study. The overall significance of this study is that it can more accurately understand the Zhang Yimou film, to better understand the value of Zhang Yimou, and thus to the contemporary Chinese film theory to bring some valuable inspiration. Of course, such a study based on a study of the fundamental basic concepts and the academic significance, has nothing to do with more of an under-estimation.This article is from the cases to study the level of the aesthetic concept of Zhang Yimou's films, as well as the concept of this film aesthetic characteristics of the practice. Of course, a complete inspection of each must have a system and the smooth process of the study. This study is used to trace the source, revealed the root, element perspective, look to the future system of research methods. The fundamental idea of the study deeply rooted in classical Chinese and classical aesthetic and cultural meaning and spirit. The so-called "trace to its source, reveals the foundation" is from the Zhang Yimou film aesthetics in terms of the occurrence of study to explore its foundation. This study of the aesthetic concept deeply rooted in the Zhang Yimou's the most fundamental of life, family, education, emotional and social environment factors. In fact, these may be able to reveal the source of Zhang Yimou's basic origin of the concept of aesthetics. The so-called "lens element", that is, from the perspective of the text, layer by layer to reveal the aesthetic concept of the film Zhang Yimou's basic core. These basic elements of the film appear the whole concept of Zhang Yimou film aesthetics. More importantly, this article is not just limited to "back" and "Focus", and its very fundamental purpose is to find from the analysis of Zhang Yimou's next film to aesthetics. Thus, in order to bring some of the Enlightenment to China's contemporary art film. However, as the target will be set up and still become a reality.From the Sources of things, the aesthetic concept of the film originates from Zhang Yimou's family, the requirements of the times at home and abroad, regional culture and formal education in the college course. These four aspects are very important to the aesthetic concept of the Zhang Yimou film. Zhang Yimou's family reflects the basic characteristics of the times: revolution and counter-revolutionary life-and-death battle. His family across the two eras of China's old and new. This movement in itself is significance of the theoretical collision. In the era of change, the fate of Zhang Yimou's family brought him the impact of the abyss. The fact is that most basic form of the source character Zhang Yimou, became the formation of a very fundamental character "traumatic memory". This memory in the sense of the origin impact Zhang Yimou film formation of aesthetic ideas. China's the 80s is a discussion and the absorption, the suspicion and the study, the fantasy and looks about and so on idea juxtaposition times, this time has affected one group of people, an achievement generation of person. This generation of person penetrated into China's each domain.Nature, the movie domain is also so. Zhang Yimou is generated in this era of the more important of the representatives of film. His films have also been the natural aesthetics of the era of profound impact. Zhang Yimou was born in the Shanxi earth, excels in the North Shanxi Loess Highlands. The Shanxi culture has the unique characteristic in the Chinese region culture. This kind of characteristic takes root deeply in the Shanxi Loess Highlands. On this land, Zhang Yimou has gradually influenced deeply and infects. This kind gradually influenced and infects into a factor which the Zhang Yimou esthetics of film idea formed. In brief, the Zhang Yimou esthetics of film idea's formation is the comprehensive factor function result. Any isolated factor is very difficult to form the Zhang Yimou esthetics of film idea.It is in these four factors, the Zhang Yimou film aesthetics show their personality characteristics: historical perspective inquiry reality, profound culture foundation, and give vent to the external form of publicity, as well as the strong implication of self-consciousness. Zhang Yimou is a director who love to think. He was concerned about the reality and discuss the reality, attempts to explain reality, however, we can say without exaggeration that Zhang Yimou is the era of the singer. However, Zhang Yimou has more twists and turns and often used to approach to show the age. This means wear a deep mark in history. In particular, the Zhang Yimou film, through the writing of history to show his understanding of the era and attention. Historical significance to show care for reality, this is the basic concept of Zhang Yimou's film aesthetic connotations. The meaning of this historical is concerned about the aesthetic concept of Zhang Yimou's basic starting point. In form, his stories and the concept of the film complete wrapped in a deep foundation of the national culture, and the external vent in the publicity of a disguised form, the expression of individual self-strong and strong means. Of course, this awareness is the inevitable development of the times. Because all long-term suppression of expression will bring despotic power. I simply said that Zhang Yimou is the aesthetic concept of the four features: the historical vision reality tone, deep roots of national culture, and give vent to the external form of publicity, as well as the strong implication of self-consciousness.Aesthetic characteristics of these four movies, in Zhang Yimou's films,has been a complete, specific, in-depth, detailed embodiment. This reflected is: the tragedy of awareness, women cut, folk contrast, color modification, contains the names, and other aspects of narrative structure and so on. Zhang Yimou film runs through the tragedy is not the classic sense of the tragedy, but merely a sense of tragedy. The so-called "tragic consciousness" is contrary to each other by the composition of the two aspects, one is a reflection of reality, which is a reflection of their own initiative; the other side is the structure of reality, the reality of the plight and tragedy of the bridge with full awareness. Filled with tragedy in the Zhang Yimou film is such a sense of awareness. However, Zhang Yimou's film is based on the tragic sense of history to show the plight of women demonstrated, this method of showing what I call "female cut". In fact, we only have to look at Zhang Yimou's films and naturally understand. 16 Zhang Yimou's films are almost all women as a narrative perspective. The perspective is no doubt that Zhang Yimou has become concerned about the reality of the historical inquiry of the entry point. Increasingly sophisticated means of narrative film Zhang Yimou also established a more perfect form. In the narrative, the film attempts to more involvement of various factors. Folk, color, name and so on have become a factor in Zhang Yimou film narrative of the basic means to try. However, the customs, colors, names and other factors is also Zhang Yimou films constitute the formal aesthetics. For Zhang Yimou films, these deeply branded China's labels. All in all, constitute of the practice, the Zhang Yimou film imply the six basic elements. These elements constitute the basic components of Zhang Yimou film, Zhang Yimou's film is also unique with its own characteristics.However, in the surging tide of the modern commercial society, the aesthetic concept of the film Zhang Yimou unprecedented impact and influence. Faced with this reality of consumer society, the concept of Zhang Yimou's film aesthetic in the artistic and commercial, content and form, hovering between the international and the national character and choices. From the origin, the film itself is a kind of industry, science, technology,culture and other factors affecting the industry. The high cost of film, so difficult to become a film the technical work easily. Precisely the involvement of commercial films to meet the demands of industrialization. Thus, Zhang Yimou's films have more in the form of commercial packaging. This package is to meet the needs of the consumer era. Zhang Yimou film would also like to go out of the country into the world, however, the road is difficult. It also needs more training and to try. Thus, Zhang Yimou movie, in the artistic and commercial, content and form factors,international and national character, is the wandering back and forth. Form some ways, the wandering of Zhang Yimou film is success. We firmly believe that all the wandering will show the characteristics of the new. Natural, Zhang Yimou aesthetic is such.Zhang Yimou film will go from here? This question becomes spans in front of an all Zhang Yimou movie researcher's very realistic question. This article attempts, from the Zhang Yimou esthetics of film idea history and his realistic esthetics practice angle, makes some kind meaningful and the developing bold forecast. 2008 Beijing Olympic Games opening and closing ceremonies adhering to the traces of the aesthetic concept. National character, creativity, personality and infiltration of thinking, Zhang Yimou's next film is still the core of the concept of aesthetic concepts. I also firmly believe that these will certainly be Zhang Yimou's films once again the starting point and foundation for a leap. From the form, the 2008 Olympic Games opening ceremony is scald. This is precisely the Chinese characters "beauty" of the source, "beauty, the langerst sheep is beauty." More importantly, Zhang Yimou's Olympic opening and closing ceremonies in 2008 rootes into a deeply into China's ancient culture and modern civilization.Of course,the basic concept of the art of Zhang Yimou is bound to adhere to the basic continuation of the national identity and to develop.
