Contextual Resonance,Analogical Reasoning Through Stories,and Personification in Objects:Three Dimensions of Natural Aesthetics of Shishuoxinyu
As for the nature writing in Shishuoxinyu(A New Account of Tales of the World),academic studies have mainly focused on the"personification in objects".In fact,the nature writing in Shishuoxinyu can be divided into three aspects:emotional"contextual resonance",rational"analogical reasoning through stories",and personalized"personification in objects".These aspects reflect the complete landscape of natural aesthetics among Wei and Jin scholars,encompassing their perceptual appreciation,critical thinking,and the unity of self and nature.And the values of being clear and bright,profound and broad,carefree and unrestrained,strong and robust revered and practiced by people in Wei and Jin periods are progressively unfolded and repeatedly reaffirmed through these three parallel dimensions.Through this,we can not only experience the vivid language and subtle thoughts,but also have a closer feeling of the living condition and spiritual pursuit of the people in Wei and Jin periods.
