Abstract/Summary:
Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties,the Chinese have attempted to establish an inner spiritual connection with nature,and the awakening of the scholarly people has brought the value of the individual human being to its fullest.People began to look for a spiritual way of life in nature.Among them,travelling through mountains and rivers is one of the important lifestyles of the famous scholars of Wei and Jin to support their thoughts and spirits.They have a realistic and operable form of spiritual life,in order to realize Zhuangzi’s ideal of "leisurely travel" in life.They formed their own unique spirit in the process of travelling through the mountains and rivers,and expanded the beauty of the mountains and rivers from the narrow moral level to The spiritual realm and individual truth with independent status.At the same time,Wei and Jin metaphysics further promoted the deepening of landscape consciousness and gave spiritual connotations to landscape as a concrete form,thus forming a The spirit of landscape under the influence of Wei and Jin metaphysics.In the focus on individual awakening in the Wei and Jin dynasties,as an abstract metaphysical concept,the reason why landscape can be called spirit,is not by chance.Especially after Ruan Ji and Ji Kang put forward the idea of "the more famous teaching and let nature",which aimed to oppose the politics of the famous teaching,and instead experience the value of the individual in the nature.The transformation of landscape into a philosophical and spiritual category was greatly facilitated by Ruan Ji.In his early years,Ruan Ji advocated Confucianism,in the middle period he entered Taoism,and in the late period he advocated Lao Zhuang’s way of thinking.From Confucianism to Taoism,from the search for fame to the search for nature,in this process,Ruan Ji formed a highly sophisticated and characteristic personal spirit.In the process,Ruan Ji developed a highly refined and distinctive personal spirit,which was characterized by perseverance,a desire for an ideal lifestyle based on nature,and the importance of personal spiritual independence.Ruan Ji’s thoughts are attributed to the spirit of landscape,the core of which is to hold on to inner freedom in the midst of all the chaos.Such a spirit,encompassing the contemplation of nature and life,and the concern and pursuit of one’s own spirit.An analysis of Ruan Ji’s landscape spirit can help solve the problem of spiritual deprivation caused by the endless busyness of modern fast-paced life.It helps to calm the mind,open the heart,enrich the spirit and promote tranquility.
