Between Life And Art

"The World" and“Not Veiled' seem to be different criteria for criticism,but they are actually different aspects of Wang Guowei's standard of evaluation.The evaluation of "the world" includes not only the affirmation of the author's spiritual height,but also the evaluation of the quality of the work."Not Veiled"focuses on the evaluation of the aritistic level of the work.In Wang Guowei's view,a work with "The World" requires the author to observe the object of his understanding without utilitarianism,and present it through the creation of"artistic conception".A work that can faithfully presents what the author knows and feels is a work that is "Not Veiled".At the same time,it is also a work with“The World".As the standard of evaluation,"The World" has both spiritual and artistic sources.In terms of spirit,it comes from Wang Guowei's affirmation of the spiritual realm beyond aesthetics.The spiritual realm varies from person to person.Wang Guowei's "realm" is a "realm" that transcends presonal interests and bears the evils of human beings.His evaluation of Ci is often influenced by his values.In terms of art,it comes from the recognition of Kant and Schopenhauer's aesthetic concept.The concept of "Art is the reproduction of ideas",the pursuit of the "First form" beauty,and the emphasis on the sense of the picture,indirectly contributed to the birth of the "Artistic Conception".The"realm" of the spiritual level and the "artistic conception" of the artistic level are two parts that are inseperable from the "The World".The idea of "Not Veiled" as the standard of evaluation is more related to Schopenhauer' s artistic intuition theory.The "Intuitive" that "The language is at the present" is "Not Veiled".Wang Guowei's criticism of the Ci "Veiled" is mainly because the author only pays attention to the skill of creation and does not pay attention to his true feelings,and he can not fulfill the faithful“reproduction" of the object of recognition when writing.As a result,their creations can not be achieved as they are at the present time.What can't be ignored is the connection between Wang Guowei's“intuitive" concept and his aesthetic education ideal.In his view,literature is the way to gain knowledge of life and to go beyond the limits of individual understanding.Therefore,the "Not Veiled" works,for the author,is the completion of the "the world' in his heart in artistic creation;for the reader,it is the path to the author's great soul and spiritual transcendence.Based on this,the artistic creation of "Not Veiled" is particularly important.Whether it is the aquisition of the "realm" in the author's mind or the artistic creation of "Not Veiled",it is inseperable from the author's direct participation in natural life and conscious observation.Life is the source of all great art.
