神话情调的华夏乐园——《山海经》的环境美学思想

Hua Xia( an ancient name for China) Paradise with a Mysterious Tone:Environment Aesthetic Thought of the Classic of Mountains and Seas

《山海经》一书在中国古代环境美学的建构上具有重大意义,主要有三:第一,在中国文化史上它最为全面地提出了人类生存环境是如何开辟的;第二,它以最为充分的史料哪怕是暂时无法确证的史料说明以昆仑山为中心的大片土地是华夏民族的发源地,中华民族的始祖——炎帝、黄帝、帝俊、帝尧、帝舜等均在此生活;第三,它以无比丰富的材料描述中华民族生存的这一块土地物产富饶、风景奇异、动植繁茂,在中国文化史上最为充分地阐述了中华民族的乐园概念。

The Classic of Mountains and Seas has an important significance in the construction of ancient Chinese environment aesthetics. Firstly, it comprehensively proposes how human＇s existing environment opens up in Chinese cultural history. Secondly, based upon the most sufficient historical materials although some of which are not so corroborative, it illustrates that the area centered on Kunlun Mountain is the cradle of Hua Xia nation ; and the earliest ancestors of Chinese nation Emperor Yah, Huang, Jun, Yao, Shun all lived here. Thirdly, with an incomparably rich material, it depicts this area to be picturesque where animals and plants are various. Therefore, it mostly sufficiently expounds the conception of Chinese paradise in Chinese cultural history.
