庄子的“天籁”说及其美学意义

Zhuangzi's "Tianlai" and Its Aesthetic Significance

对于美的本质,柏拉图提出"美是难的",而庄子以中国人独有的形象思维方式和语言习惯,对"美"作出了不同的阐释。他从审美体验的角度,描述"天籁"之美,给我们以"美难而不难"的审美感受。这种审美经验的传达,同时也是中国美学重表现特点的体现。

As for the nature of kaUos, Plato said ＂Kallos is difficult＂. However through the image thinking and language habits unique to the Chinese people, Zhnangzi gave a different interpretation. From the perspective of aesthetic experience, Zhuangzi described the beauty of ＂Tianlai＂, and offered an aesthetic feeling that ＂Kallos is either difficult or not difficult＂. In fact, this is also a reflection of China＇s characteristic of attaching importance to manifestation.
