A Study of Su Shi's thought of literary aesthetics in American sinology
There is a wealth of research on the literary aesthetic thought of Su Shi in American sinology.Ronald Egan,Susan Bush,Xu,Long,and Peter Bol have conducted in-depth discussions from the aspects of calligraphy,painting,and literature.The study of the theory of calligraphy focuses on the ideas of personality shown in calligraphy,the stylistic diversity,the lack of skills in calligraphy,and the integration of calligraphy and Dao.The study of the theory of painting focuses on Su Shi's theories of literati painting as well as his ideas on the unity of form and spirit,and a well-regulated mind.The study of literary theory focuses on Su Shi's literary thought,literary criticism and creative theory.According to their own cultural traditions and academic interests,American sinologists view Su Shi's thought of literary aesthetics from the particular dimension.While breaking through the art field,these studies tend to make criticism in a broader cultural context of history,philosophy and politics.With the novel perspectives and reasonable conclusions,they reflect a broad academic vision.Despite there are some slightly partial interpretations,they can still provide reference for the academic circles at home.
