Reflection and Exploration on the Research of Classical Aesthetics in China
The establishment of the discipline of aesthetics in the Chinese language and related fields of discourse arose from the trans-formation of the classical Chinese studies with the study of classics and history as the core into the expression of modern disciplines of aesthetics.Chinese classical aesthetics is a modem academic form produced by the collision and fusion of the past and the present,and the Chinese and the West.The legitimacy of its interpretation of the ancient and the Western interpretation of the Chinese needs to be consolidated through constant reflection and questioning,and on this basis Cautiously try to explore the methodology of Chinese classi-cal aesthetics:on the basis of the phenomenon reduction of Chinese classical aesthetic experience,perceptually explore its ontological driving force,combine metaphysical spiritual experience with metaphysical perceptual experience,and form a representative form The case studies(such as Zhuangzi aesthetics,metaphysics aesthetics,Zen aesthetics)carry out the development of pure aesthetic spiritual history,instead of chronological research(such as pre-Qin aesthetics,two Han aesthetics,Wei and Jin aesthetics,Tang and Song aes-thetics,Aesthetics of the Ming and Qing Dynasties),which corroborates the logical clues of the evolution of aesthetic ontology and the appearance of breakthroughs in classical aesthetic experience,thereby presenting the main line of the history of Chinese classical aes-thetics.
