中国泛审美传统的意义生成机制

The Meaning Generation Mechanism of the Chinese Pan-aesthetic Tradition

泛审美是中国美学传统的鲜明特质,审美意义无孔不入地渗入中国传统社会生活的各个方面,中国美学传统的泛审美特质需要新的理论方法介入。符号美学是对“美学文本”进行形式意义分析的方法论,通过符号美学可以发现中国泛审美传统独特的意义生成方式:意义的四联体滑动、意义的“部分滑动”与四性共存、意义的跨界滑动与泛审美综合体建构。中国传统审美符号的四个不同意义维度兼容互渗、交融共存,在审美意义生成的同时,又向人的生活世界全面敞开,并适时地将其提升至天人合一的精神境界。

Pan-aesthetic is a distinctive feature of the Chinese aesthetic tradition,with aesthetic meaning pervading all aspects of traditional Chinese social life.However,the pan-aesthetic trait of traditional Chinese aesthetics requires a new theoretical approach.Semiotic aesthetics,which is the basic theory and methodology of formal meaning analysis of all“aesthetic texts,”provides us with a lens to see the unique meaning generation mechanism of the Chinese pan-aesthetic tradition:the quadruple sliding of meaning,the“partial sliding”of meaning and the coexistence of four qualities of meaning,the cross-border sliding of meaning,and the construction of pan-aesthetic synthesis.The four distinct meaning dimensions of traditional Chinese aesthetic signs are mutually compatible,interpenetrating,and coexisting.Thus,while aesthetic meanings are generated,they are fully opened to the human life world,timely elevating to a spiritual state of harmony between humanity and nature.
