试论中华美学精神的基本特质

On the Fundamental Characteristics of the Chinese Aesthetic Spirit

"中华美学精神"是习近平同志在文艺座谈会讲话中提出的重要理论命题,对于当代中国的美学建设和文学艺术的繁荣发展,有着深刻的指导意义。中华美学精神的内涵尚未得到明晰的界定,而其丰富的理论价值和深厚的历史积淀,值得我们结合中国美学发展历程进行理解和阐发。尝试从四个方面描述中华美学精神的基本特质:一是以"天人合一"的中国哲学的基本观念为渊源,中国人的审美观念中有普遍性的感兴创作观念和宇宙生命感;二是真善美高度统一是中华美学精神的核心内容;三是理性与感性的动态和谐是中华美学精神的要义;四是超越模仿现实的意象与意境追求是中华美学精神的艺术表征。这里的尝试分析,只是从中国美学发展的历史渊源方面加以理解的。

The Chinese aesthetic spirit is an important theoretical proposition put forward by Presi- dent XI Jinping in his speech at the Forum on Literature and Art,which has a profound significance to contemporary China＇ s esthetics construction and prosperity and development of literature and art. The spiritual connotation of the Chinese aesthetic spirit has not yet been clearly defined, while the rich theoretical values and profound historical accretion is worth interpreting and elucidating with the development history of Chinese aesthetics. The paper tries to describe the basic characteristics of the Chinese aesthetic spirit from four aspects. Firstly, based on the fundamental concept of Chinese philosophical notion of ＂integration of Man and Nature＂ ,the Chinese aesthetic idea involves the universal perceptual creative sense and the sense of universe life ; secondly, the high unification of the true, the good and the beautiful is the core content of Chinese aesthetics;thirdly, the rational and emotional dynamic harmony is the essence of Chinese aesthetics ; fourthly, the image beyond the imitation of reality and seeking for artistic conception are the artistic symptoms of the Chinese aesthetic spirit. We understand the basic characteristics of the Chinese aesthetic spirit from the historical origins of the development of Chinese aesthetics.
