From The "view" To "viewer"

Aesthetic views on space and time from traditional literators reflects the consciousness of human being in Chinese cultural tradition. Its view on time shows the issue of axiology which is to seek for the existing value of the life. Whereas its view on space depicts the issue that human beings are trying to seek for the position in the universe as a main body in the world. At this point, the characteristics of main body in the time and space are active, introverted and self-contained. The main body is integrated with time and space. This way of vision with the sense of integrity is fully reflected in the aesthetic definition of"view"View embodies the specialized culture and experience of Chinese traditional culture on vision. This fling way can feel the space of universe by looking up and overlooking combination. The main body faces the whole universe through aesthetic. Also main body can look at and own each other.Chinese modern aesthetic views on space and time reflect the different traits of human consciousness compared with traditions. Its meaning of"emptiness","nonexistence","void"gets greatly decreased. On one hand, the way of"view"has become more and more western and closer to the characteristics of"viewer"in western literature. The timing traits of space come to the state of loss. So the main body got isolated from the integrity with time and space. In space the main body is focusing on the nature of the universe. Externally the expression in space has the self-consciousness and particularity created by forms. Internally the sense of the main body on national culture is perturbed. The emotion in traditional draws by literators is lost in the lowliness of history. On the other hand, the modern main body is trying to keep true qualities on time and space as well as to exceed freshly in the background of new literature due to the existence of the media of pens and ink. Besides, in the motivation of modern cultural waves and complicated background of global multi-culture, modern Chinese views on time and space shows the environment of multiple culture mixture. In the environment the main body shows the traits of time and individuality to select the type and characteristics of expression in the time and space.The changes from"view"to"viewers"indicate the changes of aesthetic views caused by the alterations of cultural environments. In the late 20th century, during the consideration of the contradictories embodied in the former aesthetic views on the time and space, artists started to survey the rescue of the main body by the new Chinese drawing views in the background of the artistic main body indoctrinated by scientific logic. In the formation process of new views on time and space, the mode of simplicity and concordance of traditional draws by literators come to obtain the cutting edge cultural capacity.Currently there are not so many reviews on the transition between traditional draws by literators and modern views on time and space in the national draws. This article started with two definitions"view"and"viewer"as a topic and put both in the framework of theory by the description of the historical transitional process between the traditional draws by literators and modern aesthetic views on time and space by national draws. Also it compared both the aesthetic modes on time and space as well as compared them with western aesthetic visional modes to analyze the relationships between the views on time and space and cultural environments so as to show the age character of modern national draws from the point of view in culture.
