An Analysis of Life Consciousness in Wei Jin Painting Theory:On the Evolution of the Connotation of "Transmission Theory"
The Wei and Jin dynasties were a very representative period in the history of Chinese painting,during which people's self-awareness and aesthetic consciousness were awakened.Under the influence of Confucianism,Buddhism,Taoism,and mystical thought,the painting art of this period gradually began to focus on the inner life of the subject,and the painting theory of this period also underwent a transformation.Portrait and landscape paintings are essentially transcending real life.In this process,the spiritual life content of humans runs through the entire process,and the painter's self-awareness and its extension are the basic categories that constitute the transcendence of life.On this basis,the theory based on Gu Kaizhi's"transmission theory"has deeply influenced traditional Chinese painting art,greatly driving its development,and can be said to be an important turning point in the history of Chinese painting theory.
