Aesthetics in Classical Chinese

1. Looking for ancient texts, classical Chinese and famous aphorisms related to beauty

1. "The five colors make the eyesight blind":

Laozi said, "The five colors make the eyesight blind." "Blind" and "five tones are deafening", mainly based on his simple dialectical theory, generally discussing the "five colors" and "five tones" as the objects of artistic beauty appreciation, if it turns into excessive sensory enjoyment and unbridled satisfaction , the original intention of appreciating the beauty of art will be lost, and even its aesthetic value will be lost, and it will become a spiritual burden and aesthetic "disaster" that is counterproductive and harmful to the body and mind.

Laozi’s aesthetics is directly related to the doctrine of “Tao” in his philosophical outlook and the thought of “inaction” in his political outlook. He believes that any kind of beauty that "serves literary talent and carries a sharp sword" (Chapter 53), like all promising things, can only be harmful to people. The so-called "five colors make people blind, five tones make people deaf, and five flavors make people deaf." The population is happy, and hunting in the fields makes people crazy" (Chapter 12), which all means that the beauty of "doing something" will inevitably damage human nature. In Lao Tzu's view, true beauty does not lie in external things such as sex, wealth, and honor, but can only be found in nature itself, which can be reflected through the approach of "seeing simplicity, embracing simplicity, and being less selfish and reticent" (Chapter 19). This kind of beauty is expressed as "big sounds sound, but elephants are invisible" (Forty-one Chapter). That is to say, the most perfect music is heard from a place without sound, and the most beautiful image appears from a place without image; once there are specific sounds and images, it destroys the perfection of nature. This is the beauty that conforms to the "Tao". These insights of Laozi come into contact with the issue of aesthetic realm, reveal an aesthetic experience in aesthetic activities that goes beyond the simple perception of art, and open up the ancient Chinese aesthetics pursuit of "nature", "true beauty", "meaning beyond words" and "full sound". The forerunner of theories such as "the beauty of beauty" also laid the foundation for Taoist aesthetics, which confronts the twin peaks of Confucian aesthetics.

2. "Music comes from the heart":

"Music" has an incisive discussion of the nature of music, affirming that music is an art that expresses emotions. It believes that:

p>

"Every sound comes from the human heart. When the human heart moves, things make it happen."

"Every sound comes from the human heart." , the emotion is moved in the heart, so it is shaped by the sound: the sound is written down, which is called the sound. ”

Xunzi has a book called "Music Theory", which can be confirmed.

Each of the above can be seen as a system. Here are some sentences:

1. Seeing the dance "Da Wu", he said: 'How beautiful! The prosperity of Zhou Dynasty is like this! ’” "Historical Records: The Family of Wu Taibo"

2. Beautiful and sweet. ——"Shuowen"

3. Plum blossoms are beautiful because of their curves, but they have no appearance when they are straight. ——Gong Zizhen's "Bing Mei Guan Ji"

4. "Zi said of Shao: 'It is perfectly beautiful, but it is also good.' He said of Wu: 'It is perfectly beautiful, but it is not good.' " "The Analects of Confucius·Eight Yi"

5. Zhong Rong's "Shi Pin" also systematically discusses beauty from the perspective of poetry. He opposed artificial rhythm, advocated natural rhythm, and maintained the natural beauty of poetry. Its "natural elegance" refers to natural elegance, that is, true beauty.

Human beauty is an important expression of beauty. , cannot be ignored. 2. Aesthetic Prose Aesthetic Prose

The following is my article.

The spirit of dancing has not yet arrived in the middle of winter, and the cold wind has begun to blow on the earth. This spirit of dancing, galloping on the plateau, followed the call of Mother Earth and came... When the thick fog was blown by the morning The wind tears, when the fresh air opens with the morning light, when the lonely bird crows for longing... The box buried deep in the sky quietly opens under the temptation of this paradise on earth intertwined with love and beauty. The dusty box door has been opened for a long time, and the colorful dancing spirits are enjoying themselves in the morning dew! They are like pure goose feathers fluttering in the breeze; like strands of willow catkins as light as feathers, supported by the breeze; like poplar flowers as white as jade, crystal clear... They are white but not pure, but It's quite a bit of fun - look, the sky was full of silver flowers just now, but now the earth is covered in silver. They float in the sky, singing and dancing; they are like goddesses scattering flowers, and they are like a group of immortals dancing; they are as light as goose feathers, as soft as catkins, and as white as willows.

In the wonderful scene where everyone is singing and dancing, they show off their skills and dance with graceful and graceful movements, which is easy to see at a glance.

Looking up at the blue sky, the clouds are smiling at us.

I thought: In that vast expanse of white, there must be dreams of flying freely... Even though it has passed, the next stop is still wonderful. How can the spring blossoms not be a wonderful scene? What about your sexual intentions? . 3. The Book of Songs: There is a creeper in the wild, beautiful translation

~ 4. Looking for some short classical Chinese articles, such as Zhizi Suspicious Neighbor: There is a Rich Man in Song Dynasty , it rained and the wall was damaged. His son said: "

Ruan Xuanzi discussed whether there are ghosts and gods. Perhaps there are ghosts after death, but Xuanzi thought that there were no ghosts. He said: "Those who see ghosts today have clouds on their clothes when they were alive. "If there is a ghost after death, will there be ghosts in clothes?" Emperor Ming of Wei cut off the tiger's claws on the Xuanwu Field and let the people watch. Wang Rong, who was seven years old, also went to see. The tiger climbed up the fence and roared, and the sound shook the ground. , the viewers all fell to the ground, their swords were still still, and there was no fear. Wei Wu tasted Cao E's stele, Yang Xiucong. On the back of the stele, there is an inscription of "Yellow Silk Young Woman, Grandson Junjiu", Wei Wu He asked Xiu, "Do you understand?" He replied, "Yes." Wei Wu said, "You have nothing to say, let me think about it." After traveling for thirty miles, Wei Wu said, "I have got it." He ordered Xiu to leave. I remember what I know. Xiu said: "Yellow silk, colored silk, has the character "Jue"; young woman, a girl, has the character "Miao"; grandson, a woman, has the character "Hao"; Jiujiu, The word "suffering" is "ci"; it is also called "excellent speech"." Wei Wu also remembered it, and he sighed and said: "I am not as talented as you, but I feel thirty miles away." "Shishuo" "New Speech" is indeed worth reading several times, it is very interesting. Ancient Chinese literati are worthy of admiration - the literati of the Tang Dynasty who were poetic and wine-loving, and the literati of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who had unique character. Although I also like the heyday of the Song Dynasty, I always feel that It has lost its characteristics. It cannot live up to the style of an era and is always similar to its predecessors. The books of later generations will never be as ruthless and affectionate as every word in "The Letter of Breaking Diplomacy with Shan Juyuan". The people of later generations are at the end of their road. The cry is just to imitate Ruan Ji. There are no heroic Yuefu poems in later generations when they are drunk. The heyday of feudalism ended in the Tang Dynasty, and the complacency of the literati ended in the Tang Dynasty. After that, there was an indescribable hatred between the nation and the family. There is also a sense of sadness in the text. In the eyes of an extreme person like me, I cannot see what happened after the five generations. Those things are just the beginning of prosperity with a tragic ending. I do not deny the achievements of the literati during this period. After all, this is It includes Dongpo, an ancient and unparalleled master, but as a form, I personally prefer Yuefu and Li Bai, who pushed Yuefu poetry to the top. Compared with Li Bai's Yuefu poetry, Yuefu poetry [long and short sentences] seems outdated. , strict on the rhythm and format, more than brilliant but not unrestrained. In this regard, the literati of the Tang Dynasty and the characters of the Wei and Jin Dynasties are of the same spirit, but unrestrained was a niche in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and became mainstream in the Tang Dynasty. However, the characters of the Tang Dynasty were not as good as those of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. The Jin Dynasty is both evocative and evocative. "Shishuoxinyu" cannot be said to have a high level of literary attainments. What is important is that it describes the details of the lives of individual figures in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, enriching their images in all aspects. The literati of the Wei and Jin Dynasties are full of Characters with unique personalities. The beauty of their personalities is the most eye-catching: When Guan Ning and Hua Xin were hoeing vegetables in the garden, they saw a piece of gold. Guan wielded the hoe and it was the same as the tiles. Hua caught it and threw it away. Then he tasted it. When we were studying at the same table, there was someone who passed by in Xuan Mian. He would rather read as usual and read the useless books. He would rather cut the table and sit separately, saying, "You are not my friend!" Huang Gong passed by the wine trough. Gu said to the passengers behind him: "I used to drink heavily in this trough with Ji Shuye and Ruan Sizong. The trip to the bamboo forest was also a preview of the end. Since the death of Ji Shengyao and Ruan Gong, there have been many people. He was imprisoned at that time. Although he looks close today, he looks like a mountain and a river." Liu Ling was sick and thirsty, so he asked his wife for wine. The woman donated the wine and destroyed the utensils. She cried and admonished: "You drank too much, which is not good for health. The Tao must be cut off! "Ling said: "It's very good. I can't help myself. I can only pray to ghosts and gods that I will cut off my ears! Then I can have wine and meat." The woman said, "I respect your order." Offer wine and meat in front of the gods, and ask Ling to give blessings. Ling kneels down. And Zhu said: "I was born Liu Ling, named after wine. One drink of dendrobium, five buckets of water to dissolve the pot. Be careful not to listen to women's words!" Then he introduced the wine into the meat, and Wei was already drunk. The unique characters of Wei and Jin Dynasties The character of character is a kind of demeanor that is almost similar to the immortal style of Taoism. As for the Seven Bamboo Forest Masters, most of them still worship Taoism and despise Confucianism. Their unique aesthetics are also formed from the Taoist thought of quietness and inaction. The elegance of the appearance is combined with the sadness of the words. , is the typical aesthetics of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Natural, drunken singing, and immortal demeanor are not positive, but as a unique personality charm, literary charm and aesthetic style, in the corrupt social politics of the Jin Dynasty, But it seems so precious... 5. Looking for some short classical Chinese articles

Ruan Xuanzi discusses whether there are ghosts and gods. Perhaps there are ghosts in people's death, but Xuanzi thinks there is none, saying: "Those who see ghosts today are in their clothes when they were alive. If there are ghosts in people's death, how can there be ghosts in clothes?"

< p> Emperor Wei Ming cut off the tiger's claws on the Xuanwu Field and let the people watch. Wang Rong was seven years old and went to see him.

The tiger clings to the fence and roars, its sound shakes the ground, and the spectators all fall to the ground, their rongzhan is still, and there is no look of fear.

Wei Wu tasted Cao E's monument and Yang Xiu followed. On the back of the stele, there is an inscription of "Yellow Silk Young Woman, Grandson Junjiu". Wei Wu said Xiu

"Can you explain it?" He replied: "Yes." Wei Wu said: "Qing Xiu" Nothing to say, let me think about it." After traveling for thirty miles, Wei Wu Nai said: "I have got it." He ordered Xiu to remember what he knew. Xiu said: "Yellow silk, colored silk, is called "Jue"; young woman, a girl, is called "Wonderful"; grandson, a woman, is called "Good"; "Jijiu" means "suffering", and the word is "ci"; it is also called "excellent". Wei Wu also remembered it, and he sighed with Xiu: "I am not as talented as you. "It's only thirty miles away."

"Shishuoxinyu" is indeed worth reading several times, it is very interesting.

The literati in ancient China are worthy of admiration - the literati of the Tang Dynasty who were romantic in poetry and wine, and the literati of the Wei and Jin Dynasties who were unique in their character. Although I also like the heyday of the Song Dynasty, I always feel that it has lost its uniqueness. If you cannot live up to the style of an era, you will always be similar to your predecessors.

There will never be a letter of renunciation written by later generations as ruthless and loving as every word in "A Letter of Breaking Diplomacy with Shan Juyuan". The people of later generations crying at the end of their lives are just imitating Ruan Ji. Later generations no longer have heroic Yuefu poems when they are drunk. The heyday of feudalism ended in the Tang Dynasty, and the complacency of the literati ended in the Tang Dynasty. After that, there was an indescribable hatred between the nation and the family, and the words also had a sense of sadness. In the eyes of an extreme person like me, I cannot see what happened after the Five Dynasties. Those things are just the beginning of prosperity with a tragic ending. I do not deny the achievements of the literati during it. After all, this includes Dongpo, an ancient and unparalleled figure. Everyone, but as a form, I personally prefer Yuefu and Li Bai, who pushed Yuefu poetry to the pinnacle. Compared with Li Bai's Yuefu poems, the Yuefu poems with lyrics [long and short sentences] appear stale, strict on the rhythm and format, and are more than exciting and unrestrained. From this point of view, the literati of the Tang Dynasty and the figures of the Wei and Jin Dynasties are of the same spiritual line, but in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, being unrestrained was a niche, but in the Tang Dynasty it was the mainstream.

However, the characters in the Tang Dynasty are not as evocative as those in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. "Shishuoxinyu" cannot be said to have high literary attainments. What is important is that it describes the life details of each character in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Their images are enriched in all aspects, and the literati of Wei and Jin Dynasties are all characters full of personality. The beauty of their personalities is the most eye-catching:

When Guan Ning and Hua Xin were hoeing vegetables in the garden, they saw a piece of gold on the ground. Guan wielded the hoe and it was the same as the tiles. Hua caught it and threw it away. . When we were reading at the same banquet, there was someone who passed by with a crown on his head. He would rather read as usual and waste the books to read. He would rather cut up the banquet and sit separately, saying, "You are not my friend!"

Wang Junchong was the minister, wore official uniform, rode a chariot, and passed by Huang Gongjiu. Gu said to the passenger behind the car: "I used to drink with Uncle Ji at night, and Ruan Sizong had a deep drink here. The trip to the bamboo forest was also a preview of the end. Since the death of Ji Shengyao and Ruan Gong,

Today, although it is close, it looks like a mountain and a river."

Liu Ling was sick and thirsty, so he asked for wine from his wife. The woman donated wine and destroyed the utensils. She wept and admonished: "You drink too much. It is not a way to maintain your health. You must stop it." Ling said: "It's very good. I can't help myself, so I should give my best wishes." The ghosts and gods swear to cut off their ears, so they can have wine and meat." The woman said:

"Hear the order." Offer wine and meat in front of the gods, and ask the performers to give blessings. Ling knelt down and congratulated, saying: "I was born Liu Ling, named after wine. One drink of Dendrobium,

Five buckets of water will dissolve the pot. Be careful not to listen to the words of women!" Then he introduced the wine into the meat, and Wei Ran Already drunk.

The unique character of the characters in the Wei and Jin Dynasties is a kind of demeanor that is almost Taoist and immortal. As for the Seven Bamboo Forest Masters, most of them still worship Taoism and despise Confucianism. Their unique aesthetics are also formed in Taoism's quiet and inaction thoughts. The combination of the elegant appearance and the sadness of the words is a typical Wei and Jin aesthetics. Naturally, drunken singing and celestial demeanor are not positive, but as a unique personality charm, literary charm and aesthetic style, they are extremely precious in the corrupt social politics of the Jin Dynasty. 6. Wang Guowei’s three realms, derived from classical Chinese

To achieve great success in ancient and modern times, a great scholar must experience three kinds of classes: "Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I climbed up to the tall building alone and looked at the end of the world. "(Yan Tongshu's "Die Lian Hua" is also the first class. "The clothes are getting wider and wider, but I don't regret it. I feel haggard because of Yi." (Ouyang Yongshu's "Die Lian Hua" is also the second class.)

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but when they turned around, they suddenly saw the man in a dimly lit place. ” (Xin Youan’s “The Green Jade Case”) This is the third class. ——Wang Guowei

These three realms of Wang Guowei made me have a strong interest in Wang Guowei's "Human Words". After reading it this time, I suddenly realized that the world of Ci is so big and deep. When you travel in it, you will realize your own insignificance and ignorance.

Wang Guowei made great achievements in textual criticism, philosophy, literary criticism and other aspects throughout his life. However, he was particularly proud of his ability to write lyrics. He once said something that was astonishing to EMI. He said: "I In terms of poetry, although his works are not as good as those of Bai Que, except for one or two people since the Southern Song Dynasty, no one has been able to match them." Wang Guowei had just turned thirty when he said this, and he had only written about a hundred poems. When it comes to poetry, it is easy to ignore almost all the poets of the past eight hundred years. If you can write to such an extent, let alone historical evaluation, even if you are clear and confident, you are thorough enough. This man was born in 1877 and died in 1927. When he was fifty years old, he jumped into Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace in Beijing and died. His life was a constant pursuit of life problems. The process of questioning. Some people say that he is a relic of the Qing Dynasty, some say that he is a martyr who is worried about the world, and some say that he just couldn't stand the long-term oppression of the teacher Luo Zhenyu, couldn't swallow his resentment, and committed suicide by drowning. Wang Guowei's dramatic death is of great importance to historians, but to those who write or paint, the words he left behind are more important than the beginning and end of his individual life.

"Ren Jian Ci Hua" is the most prestigious work on Ci in modern China and a representative work of Wang Guowei's literary criticism. Among the many Ci poems in the Qing Dynasty, "Human" is characterized by its novel insights and theoretical basis. It uniquely integrates Chinese and Western aesthetics, literary and artistic thoughts, breaks through the sectarian views of some schools in the literary world of the Qing Dynasty, and becomes unique. It creates a new path for the study of Chinese aesthetics and literary theory, and occupies an important position in the treasure house of Chinese academic thought. Although it was written for the purpose of discussing Ci, it covers a wide range of aspects, not limited to Ci. "It can be read as an artistic commentary of the Wang family" (Xia Chengtao's "Ten Comments on Ci"). It broke through the Zhejiang School and Changzhou School of Ci in the Qing Dynasty. His views are unique and original. This "People" is based on exploring the creative gains and losses of poets of all ages, combined with the author's own personal experience of artistic appreciation and artistic creation, and puts forward the theory of "realm", which is the center and essence of Wang Guowei's artistic theory. The theory of realm puts forward a point in "Human Words" that the artistic conception of a literary work is formed by the integration of the reality of life described in the work and the thoughts and feelings it expresses. It is subjective and objective, ideal and reality, emotion and reason. The unity of the so-called realm "is not just about scenery", "emotions, anger, sorrow and joy are also a realm in people's hearts", "there is a realm of creation and there is a realm of writing", that is, there is a realm of creation and there is a realm of realism. Here, the meaning of realm is clearly explained, and then the composition of realm is elaborated. "The realm created by a great poet must be in line with nature, and the realm he writes must be close to the ideal." "Although he writes about real images, , is also an idealist." This means that the realm is composed of the poet imitating nature and expressing ideals. Successful poetry must be a close combination of ideals and realism. For example, the explanation of "realm" in the book is as follows:

——The most important thing in poetry is realm. -The realm has its own high level and its own famous sentences.

——There is a state where I am, and there is a state where I am not. In my state of mind, I observe things with my own eyes, and all the old things have my color. In the state of selflessness, one observes things in terms of things, so one does not know who is me and what is a thing.

——Those who can appreciate scenery and true feelings are said to have a realm. Otherwise, it is said to have no realm. "People", a collection of sixty-four short reviews, is Wang Guowei's experience in writing lyrics and a summary of his artistic views. Although the article is short, it weighs four to two thousand pounds, and each word is precious and powerful. He used traditional word formation and anti-traditional concepts, terminology and thinking logic to naturally incorporate some new concepts and methods, and the theoretical issues he summarized had quite universal significance. It has had a great response among readers and has a lofty status in the history of modern Chinese literary criticism. The biggest difference between "People" and traditional poetry is that he no longer only focuses on people's ethical world conditions and repeats the themes of farewell and lovesickness, favors and disgraces, promotions and promotions; instead, he throws the individual self into the vast universe, popular trends, and life. In the endless eternity, let yourself face the destined human tragedy, and even split your personality to show yourself, torture your soul, and pursue the rootless fate of life.

It is Wang Guowei's life heritage and the infusion of spiritual vitality. It is different from "The Tools of Lamb Goose" and is a simulation work. It is the crystallization of the author's discussion and thinking on basic life issues such as the universe and life, life and death. This is the only reason why I love "Human". I like his "all scenery words are words of love"; I appreciate his three realms and his unremitting spirit of continuous exploration of life; I even envy his free and easy "there is a realm with me and a realm without me" and freedom.

Finally, I would like to end this review by borrowing a comment from others on "Human Words". Wang Guowei's "Renjian Cihua" has taken a solid step on the road of exchange and integration of Chinese and Western literary and artistic ideas. It has novel views, incisive arguments, and a self-contained system. It is regarded as an epoch-making work in the history of the development of Chinese poetry and Cihua. Therefore, it has naturally received widespread attention from scholars at home and abroad.
