中日古典园林美学之比较——以禅宗影响为中心

Comparison of the Aesthetics of Classical Gardens of China and Japan

日本古典园林虽然接受中国古典园林的影响比较深,但形成了不同于中国古典园林美学特点、具有典型的自身审美特质的园林艺术。禅宗美学的影响没有改变中国古典园林的理性表达,它是情与理的结合,是诗情画意的一种呈现。而日本古典园林表现为一种枯、寂之意,达到对超自然力量的崇拜和佛家美学最高境界———佗意的追求。

Japanese classical gardens had been deeply influenced by Chinese classical gardens, but they had developed their own typical characters in the garden arts, which were different from the characters of Chinese classical gardens. The influence of the aesthetics of Zen had not changed the rational expression of Chinese classical garden; actually it＇ s the combination of mood and mind, the presentation of fullness of poetic charms. Japanese classical gardens had reflected the meanings of dull and loneliness, the adoration of mana, and the pursuit of the highest point of the Buddhist esthetics.
