建立在死亡意识上的生活美学——《闲情偶寄》新释

Life Aesthetics Based on Death Awareness——A New Explanation of Occasional Enjoyment in a Free Mood

人因为有死而产生死亡意识。由于人们对死亡的关怀态度不同,生成的死亡意识就会不一样,关乎到人的生存状态和精神个性也会不一样。《闲情偶寄》启示我们:生活美学是根植于死亡的呵护意识之中的。只有呵护死亡,才能形成审美心境,才能发现人生之美和享受生活之美,以利于生命的健康。

People tend to have the awareness of death because they are mortal. As people have different attitudes towards death, their awareness of death differs from one another, and so it is with their living state and their spiritual personality. The book Occasional Enjoyment in a Free Mood enlightens us that life aesthetics is based on the awareness of death. Only if we have the capability of aesthetics, can we discover, and enjoy life.
