“清”范畴的构成性意义

Construction Meaning of “Qing＇ s” Category

中国美学一直把“清”看作为一种极高的审美境界。就美学意义而言，“清”，或谓“清”之境呈现出一种突出的构成态势。这种视“清”为原发生境域，最高的境界“淡”，经过升华，在更高的层次上又复归于“清”，体现了中国美学的基本精神，即天道生生不已，周流不居，美也是如此，既生气流荡，生生不穷，处于永不停息的创造和革新之中，同时又周匝无垠，是一个完整的、充满生机与活力的有机整体，圆融无碍、周而复始。

China has always regarded ＂Qing＂ as a high realm of aesthetic. It is the first stage in aesthetic and the highest stage is ＂Dan＂. Both of them are in mutual action and supplementary each other.
