Moving From Freehand Way

The view of nature in Chinese art is the basic concept of the Chinese artistic creation and aesthetic process,and the core of Chinese art spirit.It originated from the philosophical nature concept of the union of nature and human,with the consciousness of subjective aesthetics in Wei and Jin Dynasties as the hallmark,dividing into individual artistic view of nature and from there onto other aspects of art activities.Compared with the philosophical view of nature before Wei and Jin Dynasties,its value lies in that it affirms the human nature and sensitive requirement,and connects the natural feeling and human nature.The free and unrestrained artistic pursuit not only brings the characteristic and artistic consciousness to Wei and Jin Dynasties but also directs the orientation for the artistic development of painting art.In discussing the changing process of Chinese artistic view of nature,the article chooses "move to think","artistic conception" and "freehand" as three key words,in order to summarize the inner spiritual connection among them.From the perspective of history,the three display the apparent progressive relation:firstly,the artistic nature view started from the philosophical nature view of the concept,that is,"the union of nature and human" and "the concept of Dao emulates nature",and artists amplifies them as "move to think and objectivity" in their opinions,transforming the natural landscape into personalized and artistic nature,where the turn from imagination to image thinking grasps the innate nature of the object.Afterwards,"artistic conception" was proposed as the most important standard in the artistic creation and appreciation,which is actually the extension and deepening of "move to think" and further emphasizes the inner quality of the subject spirit.In the progressive process of poeticized nature,"freehand" was put forward as the last stage after "artistic conception" in order to create the artistic state and realize the situated nature.From the above,the three artistic concepts of "move to think","artistic conception" and "freehand"can be taken as the advance and deepening of Chinese artistic view of nature.They demonstrate the specified concern for nature in the artistic field and the digging of human subjectivity.In scrutinizing nature,people discover their own nature and sensitive requirements as well as explore the deeper spiritual areas.They go beyond themselves by constructing the artistic images and shaping the beauty of artistic nature.
