Chinese aesthetics is the product of the traditional agriculture civilization,whereas city constitutes its dominant aesthetic perspective.This is particularly obvious in the history of the Chinese royal capital,from which the traditional Chinese view of the world radiated.The city Luoyang is of great significance in the formation of this concept.This city is the turning point of traditional Chinese royal capital,from free development to conscious construction,and its symbol is"the Construction of Luoyang by the Duke Zhou".This starting point makes it a model of Chinese traditional ceremonial city,and the replications of"the Old Regime of Luoyang"constitute the main clue to understand the history of Chinese royal capital.In Chinese history"from City to Royal Capital",Luoyang has been endowed with many meanings and also been ruined constantly,which makes it gradually become an image,a reflection of Chinese aesthetic spirit.Therefore,to understand Chinese aesthetics,we should clarify the principal and subordinate relationship between urban and rural areas at first,then grasp the pivot of the center of the royal capital,and finally see how this center develops into an aesthetic view or the vision of the world.
