礼乐文化视野中的中国古代审美范畴体系

The Ancient Chinese Aesthetic Category System in View of Rituals & Music Culture

在儒家礼乐文化视野中,具有较大美学价值的审美范畴主要有"中和之境""言志""缘情""阳刚""阴柔""出水芙蓉""错彩镂金"以及"有我之境""无我之境"等。其中,"中和之境"是总论,"言志"与"缘情"是本质论,"阳刚"与"阴柔"是风格论,"出水芙蓉"与"错彩镂金"是形态论,"有我之境"与"无我之境"是境界论。它们都不可避免地带有中国传统文化的印记,并因此成为中国传统审美文化不同于西方审美文化的最鲜明的标志。
