On Metaphorical Thought In Pre-Qin Aesthetics

Ancient Chinese aesthetic concepts are often from the harmonious coexistence with nature began,the original ancestors believe that heaven and earth have spirits,they respect the gods.They think that the heavens and the earth and all things are in order,and all personnel should be in accordance with the laws of nature,so that God and people to achieve unity.In this aesthetic process,contains a strong ethical concepts,thus forming a "Metaphor" this unique aesthetic.The so-called "Metaphor"is the nature of the natural properties,such as color,texture,touch,etc.as a warm and honest moral analogy,so that people of all things sensibility of experience and human moral feelings of rational knowledge blending.Chernyshevsky once said:"The beauty that forms nature is something that reminds us of man(or of foreboding).The beauty of the things of nature,only as a hint of people have meaning.Confucius first metaphor to the landscape of a gentleman's morality,proposed the "knowledge of water,benevolent Leshan;know who move,benevolent quiet;know who music,benevolent life" of the famous,many literary works in later times also have a variety of "Metaphor" ideas put forward.Now Mr.Hu Jiaxiang has so defined the "Metaphor" concept:"About the natural phenomenon and the spirit of the people linked,from the natural features of the scene to experience the moral meaning belongs to the personification of natural objects." Mr.Zhong Ziyao page put forward the "Metaphor thought," the basic meaning is:"The reason why the United States for the United States of nature,as the aesthetic object of natural objects can be compared with people 'Metaphor',that is,from which you can sense to the aesthetic subject of some moral virtue."Simply put,is to use natural objects to characterize the unique characteristics of a variety of character.The wide range of natural objects in the world are visible,sensible,tangible,objective,practical,the existence of objects,while the human character is invisible,uncontactable subjective consciousness of the product."Metaphor thought" put forward at the time not only has epoch-making significance,the later aesthetic thought and the development of artistic creation also have an immeasurable impact.This paper is divided into four parts.First of all,the "metaphor thought" thinking foundation,budding ideas and thinking of the gradual development of the development of a brief narrative.The idea of "Metaphor" has special social,historical,ideological and cultural foundation.The first is that the "Heaven and Man" of the cosmology.Secondly,the pre-Qin period,when the "Metaphor thought" prevailed,was an era when the ideology was more active and the ideology flourished,and it was also an epoch.From the perspective of literature and art,"Metaphor" is the generation of the "Book of Songs" in the "Ratio","Xing"writing techniques of a succession and carry forward.Throughout the "Book of Songs" you will find that natural things as early as the late Spring and Autumn period has been widely become people writing,talk to the object,astronomy and geography,animals and plants have become the carrier of material metaphor.In the second part,the concrete application of "Metaphor" thought is explained in detail.The beauty of nature lies in the "Metaphor",which is a very common aesthetic point of view before the Qin Dynasty.At that time people appreciate the natural beauty,most of the aesthetic object of nature as a person's moral or spiritual beauty of a symbol.Different natural things have different symbolic meanings,corresponding to their comparison of the moral character of human beings will be different.What kind of nature symbolizes what kind of moral spirit,in the second part made a detailed description.The third part,the existence of any kind of thought must have its value,for the pre-Qin period prevalent "Metaphor" thought even more so."Metaphor thought" put forward,strong proof of people's aesthetic feelings and aesthetic ability,clearly marked the natural beauty of natural and social attributes of the relationship between,and thus the history of Chinese aesthetics to a new historical stage,it can be said that the pre-Qin "Metaphor thought" in the history of aesthetics has important significance.The fourth part points out the shortcomings of "Metaphor thought".Pre-Qin's"Metaphor thought",as the aesthetic thought and aesthetics theory of ancient China,has its value,meaning and some rationality of existence.In our history of aesthetics should take a place,but due to the historical age and the limitations of thinkers class,"Metaphor thought" also has some obvious shortcomings and deficiencies.Pre-Qin "Metaphor" concept is the ancient ancestors of the natural world everything is the most realistic and most appropriate experience,is the human mind and the objective nature of the mutual exchange of information between the means of integration.Although the seemingly poor,but is between the natural and human spiritual character made the most simple analogy just,it is not true,"Metaphor"thinking like a rough jade mud,which contains ten profound and valuable content.It is in shaping the Chinese national spirit,casting the Chinese nation's character,the creation of traditional Chinese art,and so the impact of the eternal eternal.
