The Philosophical Basis of the Aesthetic Relationship between Form and Spirit:Based on Laozi's Thoughts of"Being"and"Non-Being"
"Form"and"spirit"are a set of important concepts in the history of Chinese classical aesthetics,belonging to the category of artistic dialectics.Tracing the origin of the relationship between"form"and"spirit"through sorting and analyzing relevant literature is undoubtedly beneficial for grasping the traditional aesthetic concept that emphasizes"spirit"over"form"in the spirit of Chinese aesthetics.Regarding this issue,the academic community generally positions Taoism as the backbone of Chinese classical philosophy,and positions its origin in Zhuangzi of Taoism.However,according to the literary analysis of the thoughts from Laozi and Zhuangzi,it can be found that although there is no clear theory of the relationship between"form"and"spirit"in the book Laozi,the dialectical discussion of"being"and"non-being"based on its understanding of the relationship between"Tao"and"Qi"has potentially generated a philosophical foundation for the relationship between"form"and"spirit".Among them,"being"is the description of"Qi",which can correspond to"form",referring to the external physical existence of things;"non-being"is the description of"Tao",which corresponds to"spirit",it refers to the non metaphysical feature of internal concept.Furthermore,Laozi took the idea that"being comes from non-being",which undoubtedly leads to the creation of aesthetic idea that later generations prefer the beauty of"spirit"in the concept of literature and art.Simultaneously,Laozi proposed that the concept that"being and non being interdepend in growth"indicates that"being"and"non-being"are based on the natural homogeneity of"Tao".Thus,the prototype of the concept of the unity of form and spirit with poetic philosophy spirit was established,and had an important influence on the later literature and art to strive for"the integration of form and spirit".
