Exploration On Content Of Space Thoughts Of Chinese Classical Aesthetics

The space awareness of Chinese has included two aspects:natural space awareness with conception of round sky and square earth and social space awareness with conception of country and home,which combine to make up national space awareness.The space awareness of Chinese lays the foundation of space awareness of Chinese classical aesthetics.Therefore,the exploration on content of space thoughts of Chinese classical aesthetics is an attempt exploring national space awareness,as well as taping Chinese aesthetics while western aesthetics has always occupied the mainstream status.According to Chen Wangheng's system of Chinese classical aesthetics,aesthetic artistic conception,aesthetic compassion and aesthetic correlation which all belong to Chinese classical aesthetics are representative categories of aesthetic ontology system,aesthetic experience system,aesthetic judgment system,and artistic creation system.Chinese aesthetic consciousness occurred later than Chinese universal consciousness and the above three categories has originated from cosmology of Zhou Yi,space concept of Tao at ontological level and space concept of Zen's mind.The reason that content of space thoughts of Chinese classical aesthetics is full of Chinese characteristics lies at its three aesthetic characteristics——scatter perspective and flowing view,inter-subjectivity of aesthetic space,and poetic sympathy.Traditional Chinese literature and art has embodied the content of space thoughts of Chinese classical aesthetics especially in traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy,traditional Chinese architecture,and Chinese ancient poems.The line,structure and process of traditional Chinese calligraphy,as well as the method of traditional Chinese architecture reflect the characteristics of aesthetic artistic conception.Soaring,profound and plane observation and white space in traditional Chinese painting embody the characteristics of aesthetic correlation."Xing" and "Yi" in Chinese ancient poems embody the characteristics of aesthetic artistic conception and aesthetic compassion.The content of space thoughts of Chinese classical aesthetics are still brimming with theoretical vigor and influence and inspire the development of Chinese contemporary literature and art.Through the above analysis,this paper aims at clearing the thought origin,aesthetic characteristic,reflection and aesthetic value of content of space thoughts of Chinese classical aesthetics.
