试简论《周易》的论美起点与世人的美论之源

On Zhouyi's Starting Point on Beauty and People's Source of Beauty Theory

《周易》作为五经之一,又被奉为"群经之首"。笔者理解上述贵冕含义在于,它具有和其他四经不是一个层面上的等同意义。换言之,其余四经乃至中华传统均为《周易》所开出。中华士人审美意识独立、健全,即因《周易》是士人论美起点,士人论美无论关于美的本质,还是达美途径均能溯源于《周易》。十九世纪中华美学由于受"进化论"干扰,实乃走了漫长的弯路。改革开放以后,许多为东西方共认的新观念,学人们经常将对其理解推至《周易》,因此,被发挥得更完美,重新呈现中华文化的魅力。

Zhouyi,as the five classics,is regarded as the head of all the classics,which is different from the other four classics. In other words,the other four classics and even the Chinese traditions all came from it,and it is the source of people＇s beauty theory. However,disturbed by the theory of evolution,the Chinese thinking went a long tortuous path in the 19 century. After the reform and opening,scholars often think that many new ideas for consensus between the east and west originate from Zhouyi.
