On the Poetic Realm of Yangtze River Aesthetic Culture
The Yangtze River exists in the Chinese nation's historical memory and emotional experience in an aes-thetic way.As an archetype image,like the Yellow River,the Yangtze River is not a landscape image in the general sense but an aesthetic symbol of the homeland,the motherland,and the spirit of the Chinese nation,which contains the feelings,memories and imagination of the cultural community.The Yangtze River is poet-ic,an aesthetic expression system and a cultural portrayal of the Chinese aesthetic spirit.It is not only lyrical and freehand with the landscape image of blending scene and reality but also good at creating an environment with the integrity and transcendence of both form and spirit,creating a harmonious coexistence between man and nature.
