An Study On Aesthetic Consciousness Of The Song Windows

This paper takes the aesthetic consciousness of the Song Window as the research object.In the context of post-metaphysics,the study of aesthetic consciousness provides a new path for the study of aesthetics.The window making process in the Song Dynasty was mature in ancient China,and the window in the Song Dynasty naturally contained rich aesthetic implications.The research method of aesthetic consciousness may reveal the space-time consciousness and life emotion contained by the window in the Song Dynasty to a certain extent.First of all,the window contains abundant features of life aesthetics,and the aesthetic consciousness research of the window in Song Dynasty fits in with the methodology of life aesthetics.On the one hand,Windows are the unity of physical property and aesthetic feeling.The functions of Windows,from ventilation and lighting to scenery and romance,have both practical and aesthetic functions,with both physical property and aesthetic feeling.On the other hand,the beauty of Windows not only comes from static observation,but also from dynamic flow.Window exists in the living world,evolves in time and space,and has the cultural function of paying attention to the harmony between physical and human nature.Since the Tang Dynasty,the theory of window making that "window has no house for Windows and fits you appropriately" has been overthrown and the cultural symbolic function of Windows has been clearly established.Since then,the window has become a cultural symbol symbolizing feudal rank,ethical spirit,belief worship and aesthetic pursuit.Secondly,the aesthetic consciousness of the Song window is embodied in its aesthetic consciousness of time and aesthetic meaning of space.On the one hand,the Song window contains abundant time consciousness such as natural time,historical time and aesthetic time.Under the dimension of natural time,the concept of time in ancient China originated from farming experience,and sprouted from the change of sky and phenological migration.In the dimension of historical time,the window continuously develops and evolves,connecting the historical vicissitudes of the past with the thoughts of the present and the future.Through the perspective of the window,we can examine the ups and downs of the life of the Song Dynasty people as well as the changes of The Times and the rise and fall of the country in the Song Dynasty.Under the aesthetic time dimension,the Song window and the world flow.The Song window is a medium with aesthetic nature.It captures the sight and feeling and imparts the life of the Song people into the aestheticized life sequence.The four seasons flow and the soul is purified.By picking up the qi of nature and life,the window enables nature and poetry to meet,the physical environment and the mood to be in harmony,so that one can understand life,observe oneself,and achieve a harmonious state of unity of heaven,things and man.The time aesthetic consciousness of window circulation in Song Dynasty contains infinite rhythm of life.On the other hand,the window has the characteristics of "separation" and "passage" in space.The characteristics of "seeking passage through separation" and "both separation and passage" were fully aestheticized in Song Dynasty.The Song Dynasty is an important period for Chinese classical gardens to become artistic and typical.The further aesthetic consciousness weakens the material significance of Windows in the Song Dynasty,and instead deepens the spiritual expression of the space aesthetic and the emotion of Song people.In the Song Dynasty garden,the window function rose from the practical function to the aesthetic function,and the Song Dynasty people used the window to realize the rich garden landscape functions such as leaking,borrowing and framing.Furthermore,on the one hand,the "separation" of the window is real and virtual separation,the window can be "separated",the window can also be "separated",not only separated out the sense of distance and level of space,but also separated out the psychological aesthetic and realm,the window plays a rich space level,show the role of Song mood change.On the other hand,the "passage" of the window means that it is connected with the nature,the living world,the qi of life and the spiritual world,resulting in the space consciousness from near to far and from far to near,giving people the idea of seeing the big with the small and generating the infinite space feeling with the limited.The separation and connection of Windows together constitute a meaningful space form.Therefore,under its aesthetic space-time dimension,the Song window can show the unique survival dimension of the two Song times spirit.Taking the window as the point of view,we can observe the representative groups in Song Dynasty,such as the cold window of Confucian scholars,the idle window of literati and officials,and the Qi window of women.First,under the background of the literal-friendly policy and the reform and perfection of the imperial examination system,the cold window in the Song Dynasty was more inclusive than that in the Tang Dynasty,reflecting the historical mood of the Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty who studied hard at the window,eager to make contributions to the public and realize the value of their lives.Second,in the middle and late period of the Northern Song Dynasty,frequent party strife and national power from prosperity to decline,the window for the literati and officials at that time meant that in advance they could have ambitions and aim for official career,while in retreat they could have leisure and retreat.On this occasion,the cold window which reflected the positive mood of Confucian scholars became the leisure window which reflected the leisure and seclusion of scholars.Leisure window is the reflection of the scholar-officials in Song Dynasty seeking a balance between the realistic dilemma and psychological contradiction,reflecting the aesthetic interest and spiritual fashion of the scholar-officials group.Third,in essence,the Song Dynasty was a time when the feudal autocracy was extremely strengthened,and the neo-Confucianism which arose at this time restricted the life and emotion of the Song people to a certain extent.However,the emotional world of the Song people is far more colorful than the slogan of Neo-Confucianism,which says,"Preserve the reason of nature and destroy human desires." Taking the Yee window from the female perspective as an example,it shows the life state and feelings of women in Song Dynasty covered by Neo-Confucianism discourse.However,Qi window in fact still implies a male perspective,reflecting the Song Dynasty scribe "for boudoir" secret expression of subtle emotions.To sum up,the study on the aesthetic consciousness of Song window is not an object-like study on the craft of Song window,but a phenomenological intuition and aesthetic analysis through the object image of Song window.Only in this way can we return to the life world and truly practice existentialism and life aesthetics by using the correlation between existence and aesthetics.It is possible to get close to the survival dimension of Song people and the aesthetic consciousness of Song Dynasty which is displayed in the aesthetic time and space by the window of Song Dynasty and under the spirit of the two Song dynasties.
