The late Ming Dynasty is the peak period of the development of leisure aesthetics in China.There are abundant leisure aesthetics resources worth digging and sorting out.In the late Ming Dynasty,the literati's values and life consciousness changed greatly,the government was corrupt and decadent,the imperial examination career was difficult,which made a group of ambitious and hard to pay literati far away from politics and return to daily life to seek a breakthrough in life dilemma;at the same time,the literati in the late Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the freedom and liberation of personality,pursuit of self-adaptive life,and Realization of spirit in daily life Liter.As one of the most representative literati in the late Ming Dynasty,Zhang Dai thoroughly implemented leisure aesthetics into his life,literature,art and philosophy.His leisure aesthetic thought is not only for the integration and Transcendence of the former leisure aesthetic,but also for people to achieve a better life.In this paper,the research ideas strive to step-by-step in-depth.The first chapter mainly discusses the background of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought.The formation of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought is not by chance,but the result of the collision,combination and blending of multiple factors such as politics,economy,philosophy,geography and humanity in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty.The second chapter mainly discusses the philosophical basis of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought and its integration and Transcendence of the former leisure aesthetic thought.The emergence of Yangming philosophy made the literati in the late Ming Dynasty break away from the shackles of the moral rationality of Cheng Zhu's Neo Confucianism,turn to pay attention to the internal natural human nature,the awakening and promotion of self-consciousness,which was manifested in the attention to self and daily life in the late Ming dynasty literati,and the release of self and pleasure self in daily life became an important opportunity for leisure aesthetic practice.At the same time,Zhang Dai,as a master of ancient Chinese leisure aesthetics,not only integrated the Confucian leisure aesthetic tradition since Confucius,but also formed a unique leisure aesthetic connotation.The third chapter mainly discusses the multi-dimensionalpresentation of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought.Zhang Dai not only has rich and profound leisure aesthetic theory,but also devotes himself to the leisure aesthetic practice in daily life.This paper tries to extract the most valuable essence of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic practice from the perspective of the whole.Starting from the three dimensions of aesthetic construction of living space,aesthetic observation of living objects and aesthetic intervention of leisure activities,the leisure aesthetic resources scattered in Zhang Dai's various works are summarized,explained and improved in theory.The fourth chapter mainly discusses the Enlightenment of Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought to the aesthetic existence of contemporary people.Leisure,as an essential part of life,is essentially to guide us to experience the infinite meaning and value of life in the mediocre secular life,beyond the limitation of individual life,so that life can be enriched and enriched in a real sense.However,with the coming of the consumption age,leisure gradually deviates from the subject freedom and is alienated into materialized leisure and symbolic leisure.To solve the problem of the loss of subjectivity in leisure aesthetics,we must start from ourselves.Zhang Dai's leisure aesthetic thought can effectively solve the problem of aesthetic existence of contemporary people.
