On the Aesthetic Acceptance and Creative Practice of Donglin School's"Wu Yu Dian Ye"and"Yuan Fei Yu Yue"
Since the Pre-Qin period,"Wu Yu Dian Ye"and"Yuan Fei Yu Yue",originating from the Confucian classics,have occupied a special position in the Confucian ideological system,which are not only important academic concepts,but also gain aesthetic properties due to their vivid descriptions of the harmonious relationship between man and the universe.In view of Neo-Confucianists of Song and Ming dynasties,"Wu Yu Dian Ye"and"Yuan Fei Yu Yue"are the most appropriate descriptions of the abstract universe itself,that is,"Tao Ti",so they are increasingly respected.In addition,aesthetic attributes they contain have become important concepts to guide Neo-Confucianists in poetry creation.The Donglin School in the late Ming Dynasty actively implemented this idea in poetry creation and integrated the aesthetic values of"Wu Yu Dian Ye"and"Yuan Fei Yu Yue"in the poetries through various ways,which demonstrates the inheritance of the aesthetic tradition of Pre-Qin Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism of Song and Ming Dynasties.
