中国自然审美传统的普遍意义

中国自然审美传统对当代自然审美研究有普遍的理论借鉴意义。历时地看,在审美实践上,中国自然审美史呈现了人类自然审美从形式之美到情意之悦,从对象自然到环境自然的发展层次,提供了纵游山水、园林建筑和山水艺术自然审美三大形态。逻辑地看,在审美观念上,中国美学提出了"天文"这一自然审美基础性观念,正面回答了自然审美独特价值和普遍价值这两个自然审美最基本问题,解决了"天文"与"人文"关系问题,足可形成较系统的自然审美理论。当代社会应确立"依天立人"的中道天人观。

The Universal Significance of China Natural Aesthetic Tradition

The tradition of China natural aesthetics is helpful and useful for the study on contemporary natural aesthetics.Histori- cally speaking,the activities of natural aesthetics in ancient China illumines the developments of human natural appreciation from formal pleasure to emotional expression,from natural objects to natural environment which shows three basic models:visiting mountains and water,enjoying garden- building and landscape arts.Logically speaking,the basic notion of"the sky veins"in Chinese aesthetics explains straightly the common and unique aesthetic vales of the nature as well as the philosophical relationship between the nature and the human being,which can build up a systematical theory of natural aesthetics.So we should hold the concept of nature-based-culture about the relationship between the nature and human being in contemporary society.
