Abstract/Summary:
Wang Zengqi’s prose exists in the contemporary prose with his "different qualities",that is,it has the aesthetic value of combining "humor" with "harmony",and seeing "spirit" in "harmony".As an amphibious creator of literature and art,Wang Zengqi’s prose serves as the "material library"and "recorder" of all his artistic creation.From his prose,we can see the unremitting pursuit of"beauty" and "human" in Wang Zengqi’s works.He uses pure and simple "literati feelings" to express his love and true feelings for the world.The "scholar bureaucrat" personality shown in his prose is also of great contemporary significance,that is,to follow the literati taste and spirit in traditional culture,and to judge the beauty of life in the process of being at odds with literature.This aesthetic tendency of "harmony" and "leisure" provides an indispensable "Modernity"spiritual type for Chinese prose,that is,the full correspondence between the writer’s subject and the prose text.There are three main points in this paper:first,Wang Zengqi’s prose makes it possible for the aesthetic connotations of "harmony" and "leisure" to be independent and integrated with each other.The author’s literary and artistic amphibious status makes him not only have the ideal of "harmony"as a literati in his aesthetic pursuit,which attempts to create a harmonious state of the unity of man and nature through the idealized construction of sound human nature,but also the ideal of "ease" as an artist,which attempts to achieve an extremely relaxed "ease" state in the forgetting of things and me;2、Wang Zengqi’s aesthetic pursuit of "harmony" and "leisure" in his prose is formed under the influence of traditional philosophy,classical language and predecessors’ context.He inherits and transcends the tradition,and shows his pursuit of "harmony" and "leisure" in the aspects of thoughts and feelings,form and content,and language style,And in daily life,we always explore the rich aesthetic experience to nourish the self aesthetic spirit;3、The contemporary significance of Wang Zengqi’s prose aesthetics of "harmony" and "ease" lies in his inherited innovation.He returned to the traditional culture with a positive compromise.For "leisure",he inherited the tradition of the May 4th Movement and the prose of Ming and Qing Dynasties,and further emphasized the human feelings and true feelings of "leisure".In the deduction from "harmony" to"leisure",he added unique vitality to "leisure",which made his "leisure" have the characteristics of vulgarization,leisure and humanization;As for "Zhonghe",he released the poetic aspect of the aesthetics of "Zhonghe" which has the style of Wei and Jin Dynasties.With the warmth and sincerity from the people,he added the original vitality to the aesthetics of "Zhonghe" and endowed it with an enduring humanistic atmosphere;In a larger sense,Wang Zengqi’s prose "harmony" and"ease" aesthetic writing also shows rich oriental aesthetic implication,and presents utilitarian,ethical,symbolic and poetic aesthetic characteristics.In a "Chinese style Lyric" lyric,he actively constructs his own ideal pursuit for natural and sound human nature.Generally speaking,Wang Zengqi takes aesthetics as the core of his prose writing,and pursues the aesthetic realm of "harmony and leisure".His prose embodies the pursuit of natural human nature,respect and care for life,so that his heart is always filled with quiet and peaceful beauty of pleasure.As an existing state of prose aesthetics,Wang Zengqi’s prose aesthetics of "harmony" and"ease" has advanced aesthetic Enlightenment on contemporary prose.Only by absorbing the parts that are beneficial to the development of prose aesthetics and the construction of sound human nature,can we obtain more growth power of contemporary prose.
