| The explore of life existence’s essence and meaning is a main theme of Feng Zhi’s works in the1940s.This explore started long ago, it is already reflected in his early poems in the1920s.The explore of life existence’s essence and meaning by Feng Zhi is mainly derived from his early experience and on which basis his personality is formed, and it is also related to German Romanticism、Symbolism、Existentialism which have influenced him a lot. German Romanticism, especially Novalis eliminates limits between different lives, lives have been blended; Symbolism shows that there is a secret correspondence between humans and nature, so we should go deep into life, listen sounds of life and soul. Existentialism emphasizes human’s existence is subjective, only experience the world by heart and get rid of the living world can we obtain the essence of life existence. Feng Zhi gains abundant mental nourishment, and through his unique three kinds of ways, such as experiencing、watching、listening to grasp life existence’s essence and meaning. Feng Zhi mixes his experience or feeling of daily life and his own life journey together, enriches and expands the connotation of his own life. Feng Zhi focuses on watching things devoutly and humbly, through their appearances into life essence and learns to be silent and tolerant. Besides, Feng Zhi listens to the sounds from human and other things’ deep life all the time, and keeps self-questioning his own life existence. Above all, Feng Zhi explores life existence’s essence and meaning from nature、ordinary people、daily life and great persons, which creates uncommon beauty within common life. |
