Bide aesthetics is an ethical model of traditional Chinese aesthetic appreciation.Bide originates from Bixing and incorporates natural things into the aesthetic realm by comparing them with the moral personality of a gentleman.This special way of appreciation,which interweaves natural aesthetics and moral aesthetics,en-dows natural objects with moral character and gives them symbolic significance;on the other hand,it also pro-vides concrete and tangible forms of moral personality.From the form of comparison,there are mainly three types of comparison:jade comparison,water comparison,and flowers and plants comparison.After compari-son,natural objects condense into aesthetic images and become symbolic symbols with moral significance.The essence of Bede's aesthetics is the ethicization of nature,which achieves the unity of natural beauty and moral goodness in the process of Bide.At the same time,Bide's aesthetics have accumulated traditional national aesthetic consciousness,condensed the deep aesthetic psychological structure of the Chinese nation,influ-enced individual aesthetic cognition and experience methods,and formed the aesthetic cultural characteristics of the entire society.
