Confucius, Mencius And Xun's "beauty" Thought And Its Subjective Consciousness

From the perspective of Confucianism,Beauty is an ideal state of perfect virtue and harmony in the world.Confucius really opened up the exploration of Confucian "beauty" thought.Confuciusundefined thought of "beauty" takes "benevolence" as the core,Hongdao resumes ceremony,and achieves neutralization from benevolence to beauty,which deeply embodies the affirmation of manundefineds own value and the ultimate concern for human destiny.Mencius inherits the essence of Confuciusundefined thought of "beauty",forms the thought of "beauty" based on the theory of "good nature",takes "beauty of enrichment" as the internal requirement,and takes "beauty of masculinity" as the concrete expression of the thought of "beauty".Xunzi pushed the individual beauty of human beings to social groups according to the path of promoting himself and others,and formed the thought system of "beauty" from inside to outside and through inside and outside,with "beautiful body","beautiful government" and "beautiful custom" as three levels,from the personal conduct of "beautiful body" to the "beautiful rule" of etiquette and law order,and then to the "beauty and vulgarity" of promoting benevolence and benevolence to the people,so as to correct politics and cultivate Ren De.The "beauty" explained in Confucius,Mencius and Xunziundefineds thought of "beauty" takes people as the main body,starts from the virtue of human beings,and introspects itself to push oneself and others.It has always been related to moral quality,perfect personality and ideal political and social state(Datong society)in the Confucian ideology of the pre-Qin Dynasty.The evolution of the thought of beauty in the pre-Qin period also presents the development process of human subject consciousness.The subjective consciousness contained in Confuciusundefined thought of "beauty" lies in the consciousness of "benevolence",that is,the independence of human beings through "benevolence" deeply expresses the value of human life and the meaning of life,and Menciusundefined thought of "beauty" is a higher requirement for "human being",which is the emotional excitement of human subject consciousness.Xunziundefineds thought of "beauty" is from the point of view of human being as a whole(history and reality).On the basis of raising the consciousness of human subject,Xunzi realizes the beauty of gentleman with "sexual hypocrisy",explains the group consciousness and group value,and finally extends to custom.Xunziundefineds order of propriety and law is actually a reflection on how to extend and seek the well-being of "group" more effectively.Confucius,Mencius and Xunziundefineds thought of "beauty" embodies the cognitive process of the sagesundefined understanding of "man" from vague to clear,from paying attention to the individual life to paying attention to the subject consciousness of the human group.In a word,Confucius,Mencius and Xunziundefineds thought of "beauty" has its own content and characteristics,and with the development of the times,it shows its own different characteristics.Taking people as the main body,starting from the virtue of human beings,introspect self-cultivation to push themselves and others,it has always been related to moral quality,perfect personality and ideal political and social state(Datong society)in the pre-Qin Confucian ideological system.The thought of "beauty" of Confucius,mencius and xunzi and the subject consciousness embodied in it have shaped the spirit of responsibility of the ancient Chinese intellectuals to strive for the achievement of good virtue and the realization of a good social life.Up to now,the intellectuals of the new era still need to inherit and develop the thought of "beauty" of Confucius,mencius and xunzi and the spirit of subject consciousness embodied in it,deeply understand the ideological origin of the community of Shared future for mankind,and contribute to the realization of "people's yearning for a better life".
