Zhuangzi’s Study Of Body Aesthetics

The body is a problem for everyone.Chinese philosophers have realized the problem of physical problems.As early as in Yi Zhuan,they put forward the view of "close access",and the body has become a cognitive way and viewing perspective.The difference is that Zhuangzi raised the body to the height of the Tao,systematically discussed the body thought,and in-depth discussed the body aesthetics based on the body.The concept of the body is complex and polysemy.Clarify the concept of the body is the premise of discussing Zhuangzi’s view of the body.The body is not only the carrier of life,but also the unity of shape and heart.Zhuangzi’s view of body has a deep philosophical foundation.It discusses the relationship between them and the body from the theory of Taoist thought and qi.On the theoretical basis of "Taoist nature" and "connecting the sky",the view of body is a kind of natural view of body pursued by Zhuangzi.Zhuangzi Yang natural body,so he regards life and death as gas,is a natural state,life is the continuation of death,death is the beginning of life,break the secular values of "happy death",advocate "rebirth" happy values,hope individual life under the understanding of the way,can transcend life and death,achieve the ideal realm of not dead.Based on Zhuangzi’s view of the body,the aesthetic implication of Zhuangzi’s body is mainly discussed from three aspects of shape aesthetics,heart aesthetics and aesthetic ideal.Form is the logical starting point of body aesthetics.Form is born in Tao,with nature,whether incomplete or complete form has natural beauty.Therefore,Zhuangzi does not emphasize the external form,on this basis,to transcend the bondage of the form,this needs to play the role of the heart.However,in the complex social relations,the heart of secular experience hides the natural state of the heart,so the individual has to transcend the heart of secular experience to reach the ideal natural heart.Back to nature is to pursue the pursuit of freedom,to reach the realm of swimming.Zhuangzi pursues the aesthetic freedom realm,which requires not only individual spiritual travel,can swim in the Tao,but also swim in the world,and the pursuit of artistic life style and aesthetic attitude towards life.At the same time,Zhuangzi also built the ideal realm of aesthetic ideal,which is really the natural nature of people and compatible with the road,which is the highest and most beautiful realm.A real person is the representative of the ideal personality.In Zhuangzi’s view,real people are full of nature.The body of real people is a special body,which can get rid of all limitations,lead from the limitation of the body to the infinite,and truly achieve the aesthetic ideal of the unity of nature and freedom.Zhuangzi’s body aesthetics has influenced the aesthetic personality of generations of Chinese intellectuals,especially the aesthetic personality of Qing and Yi,which jointly highlights the unique temperament,personality and style of Chinese literati.At the same time,it also affects the development of the Chinese art spirit,especially on the traditional figure painting.Of course,it also has a certain positive guiding significance for the development of contemporary aesthetic culture,especially the thinking of contemporary body understanding and the reflection of contemporary body aesthetics.
