The Academic Tradition of Ancient Chinese Literature and Art Research
The study of ancient Chinese literature and art had formed an academic tradition with Chinese characteristics before 1840,and its research subjects were mostly literati who had the ideal of"governing the country and pacifying the world".They considered the relationship between humans and nature,between humans and society,and between humans as a prerequisite for thinking about art.They focused on the issue of"humans",placed literature and art in a universe parallel to heaven and earth,considered the relationship between humans and literature as an essential issue of literature and art,and considered emotions and the expression of emotions as the core issue of literary creation.This way of thinking avoided the drawbacks of studying literature and art in isolation,and had formed an excellent tradition of collaborative thinking that unified heaven,earth,humans,and society.
