陈抟美学思想初探

On Chen (Tuan's) Aesthetic Thought

作为唐宋之交承上启下的学者道士,陈抟的美学思想是丰富而有特色的。他毕生追求自由自在的人生,以审美的态度考察宇宙的生成和自然万物,强调真善美统一的理想人格。陈抟的宇宙生成思想、内丹思想为后人所传承,他的淡然恬静、寄意于山林水泉的审美境界对北宋的美学风格有重要影响。

As a transitional Taoist scholar in late Tang and early Song period, Chen Tuan has rich and characteristic aesthetic thought. He devotes his lifetime to the pursuit of a free life, observes both the formation of the universe and objects in nature in terms of aesthetics, and stresses the ideal personality featured by the unity of the true, the good and the beautiful. Later generations inherit his thought on the formation of the universe and alchemy, and his aesthetic ideas characterized with simplicity and devotion to nature have exerted great influence on aesthetics in the Northern Song Dynasty.
