On Aesthetic Exploration Of Natural Emotion In The Book Of Chuang Tzu

Chuang Tzu is one of the greatest literary works with exquisite and generous words in all of chinese history.It consists of a large collection of anecdotes,allegories,parables,and fables,whiich are often humorous or irrevent in natuture.It attracts thousands of chinese and western scholars to study on it.It addition,the scholars pay much attention to his aesthetic thoughts,wich is also a much-talk-about topic from ancient times to the present.At the same time,with the discovery of Gudian Chu Jan,the academic circle has set off a craze for the study of the concept of pre-Qin temperament.Furthermore,the achievement of the study is gradually abundant.However,in the late period,scholars combines aesthetic thoughts and the concept of pre-Qin temperament,study on the spontaneous feeling of Chuang Tzu is seldom found from a literary aesthetic point of view.Therefore,I try to take literary as the starting point,text analysis as a mothod,giving a starkly private opinions on the spontaneous fellings of Chuang Tzu.Here in after,I will divide this paper into three parts to expound my opinion.The first part focuses on the expression and the objective existence of the “humaneness” in the Book of Chuang Tzu from a historical perspective.To reproduce the time background of the Book of Chuang Tzu,we can find the Chuang Tzu' “humaneness” and helplessness under the historical circumstances of the dark world.Tracing back to the academic background of that time,it can be seen that Chuang Tzu's emotion expression was a departure from the society's values of expressing the thoughts by writing books.Through presenting the Book of Chuang Tzu,wen can find that Chuang Tzu's secular concern can be classified into three levels: morality,politics and natural universe.From that,the objective existence of Chuang Tzu's secular concern can be found.Based on the esthetic objects,the second part emphasizes the natural emotion in the Book of Chuang Tzu.The aesthetic objects can be categorised into the flora andfauna,the human beings,and the universe,from which we can correspondingly conclude three kinds of emotional connotation: the emotion of following the growth law of the flora and fauna,the emotion of following one's true feelings,and the emotion of following the laws of the universe.When we classify and make a further detailed research on those emotions,we can find the richness of the emotion which is embodied in the Book of Chuang Tzu.The view of aesthetic expression,the third part concentrates on the aesthetic of natural emotion.Through analyzing the thinking of aesthetic creation of the imagination,image and aesthetic judgement which are embodied in the book,and interpreting the fancy words,the leaping article structure,and the subjectified images,we can know the internal connection between the natural emotion and the aesthetic.In short,from the spontaneous fellings to Dao,Dao expresses the internal logic of aesthetics,which makes Chuang Tzu a combination of philosophy and aesthetics.Chuang Tzu not only has a profound impact on the artistic spirit and literrary aesthetics in later generation,but also give people like as who live in an increasingly technological society emotional revelation.
