梁启超的“趣味”论及其艺术审美

Liang Qichao's "Taste" Theory and His Artistic Aesthetic

"趣味"是梁启超用以界定艺术审美特性及其功能价值的范畴。梁启超指出,艺术是一种基于"情"与"美"的独特的自主性审美活动,它以情感性打动人心,以审美性愉悦人心,从而有益于人生,并与社会发生微妙联系。通过"趣味"范畴,达成艺术本质论与艺术价值论的合一,并在"为人生的艺术"和"为艺术的艺术"之间求得了统一。

Taste is a term Liang Qichao uses to define the aesthetic properties, values and functions of art. In Liang＇s view, art is a unique autonomous aesthetic experience based on ＂Qing＂ （emotion） and ＂Mei＂ （beauty）. Art moves the viewer with its affectivity and pleases him with its beauty, therefore exerting beneficial influences upon life and establishes subtle relationship with the society. Through the term ＂taste＂, Liang completes the harmonization of Essentialism and Functionalism and achieves the unification of ＂art for life＇s sake＂ and ＂art for art＇s sake＂.
