李渔生活美学思想研究

A Study of Li Yus Life Aesthetics

李渔生活美学思想的起点是对死亡问题的思考,他认为人终有一死,因此要及时行乐。行乐之关键在于有行乐之心,这是进行生活审美应持有的主观态度,是其必要前提。而要想获得行乐之心,需做到知足、止忧、心和。李渔认为生活审美的对象为世俗闲情,也即家常日用之事,目标是追求体舒神怡,做到美善相济。李渔主张雅致之旨是生活审美的价值标准,其源自于日常生活形式的精致化。雅致具体表现为新异,但自然是李渔生活美学思想的最高追求。

Thinking on the problem of death is the starting point of Li Yu＇s life aesthetics . He believes that man is mortal and carpe diem is only too natural. The heart, which is key to carpe diem, is the subjective attitude to and a necessary prerequi- site of life aesthetics. Contentment, freedom from care and psychic equilibrium are the path to such a heart. He believes that the object of life aesthetics is secular leisure, that is the pleasures of everyday life. The goal is to pursue physical and mental relaxation and achieve harmony between beauty and goodness. He advocates elegance as a criterion of life aesthetics, which derives from a refined form of daily life. Although novelty is the garment of elegance, naturalness, however, is the highest pursuit of Li Yu＇s life aesthetics.
