Under the background of the prosperity of life aesthetics research,it has become a key issue for contemporary Chinese scholars to explore the life aesthetics contained in the spirit of Chinese aesthetics,construct the Chinese discourse of life aesthetics based on local experience,and intervene in the value construction of the universality theory.From the development of life aesthetics in ancient China,life aesthetics in the Song Dynasty is a typical form of Chinese classical life aesthetics.It not only inherits the "internal turn" of Chinese classical aesthetics since the mid-Tang Dynasty,but also opens up the luxurious trend of life aesthetics since the end of the Ming Dynasty.It opens up a new style of Chinese classical aesthetics in both theoretical and practical aspects.On the practical level,scholars in the Song Dynasty showed a strong aesthetic trend in the aspects of ornaments appreciate,literati garden,leisurely landscape,scholars gathering and so on.At the theoretical level,a large number of books with the rudiments of life aesthetics theory appeared at this time,which laid a foundation for the emergence of life aesthetics works such as Sketches of Idle Pleasure,Superfluous Things,The superabundance of seclusion in the late Ming Dynasty.At the same time,the scope of aesthetic subject in the Song Dynasty expanded rapidly,ranging from palace to folk.Under the influence of the speculative spirit of the Song Dynasty's neo-confucianism,the scholars consciously reflected on the aesthetic practice of daily life and formed a theoretical expression.Their life concept,life aesthetic concept and life aesthetic practice are of positive significance to the construction of the current Chinese discourse life aesthetic theory and the response to the western daily life aesthetic theory.This article is divided into seven chapters,the first chapter is an introduction.It expounds the origin and significance of the aesthetic problems of the life of scholars in the Song Dynasty,makes a literature review,and expounds the research ideas and methods.The second chapter analyses the theoretical context of everyday life aesthetics,combs the theoretical evolution of contemporary life aesthetics from Chinese and western philosophy and aesthetic life theory.It holds that "life" in "life aesthetics refers to the daily living state of life."Life Aesthetics" can be specifically divided into two parts:the concept of life aesthetics and aesthetics in life experience.It focuses on the analysis of aesthetic concepts,aesthetic experiences and aesthetic ways closely related to real life.Therefore,the study of the Song Dynasty Scholars' life aesthetics mainly refers to the study of aesthetic concepts and activities in ancient China's real life.The third chapter starts with the etymological analysis of the concept of "life",and ponders over the ancient Chinese concept of "life" through the relationship between "life" and "living"and their meanings.From "Sheng-Sheng" to "daily use",the ancients used two sets of words to express the Oriental concept and ideal of life,thus enabling the life of the ancients in China to have both transcendental thinking of life and tangible use of life.Thus,in the aesthetic level of life,the coexistence of perceptual dimension and transcendental dimension was formed.Chapter ?,from the perspective of aesthetic concepts,focuses on leisure,emotion,reason,desire,material and other categories,and analyses the value judgments of pleasure(desire)and aesthetic feeling(emotion)of the Song Dynasty.Starting from the relationship of "material desire" in the Song people's life aesthetics,and from the perspective of Su Shi's thought of"Embodying moral in matters or events",this paper explores the axiological dimension and ethical concern in the Song people's daily life aesthetics.Chapter V,starting from the life aesthetic practice of the scholars in the Song Dynasty,explains the situation construction of the life aesthetic practice of the scholars in the Song Dynasty and the realization way of the life aesthetic experience.People in the Song Dynasty took playable objects as the carrier,rooms and gardens as the space,and created aesthetic atmosphere and aesthetic life situation in scholars gathering.Taking the western aesthetics of daily life as a reference,this paper holds that the ways of realizing aesthetics in Song people's life can be divided into three types:the static,the interposition and the cognitive,which present the multidimensional aspects of life aesthetic experience.The sixth chapter summarizes the influence of the Song Dynasty's scholars' life aesthetics on the late Ming Dynasty's literati's,and expounds the contemporary significance of life aesthetics in the Song Dynasty.Scholars in the Song Dynasty transcended the fetters of limited material desires and reached the infinite spiritual world.At the practical level,it provides the resources of theoretical reflection for the loss of life aesthetic subjectivity and the weakening of spiritual connotation.At the theoretical level,it provides value for aesthetic theory to move towards life aesthetics,to walk out of pure concept research and to face the real aesthetic practice.In the seventh chapter,the paper holds that the life aesthetics of the scholars in the Song Dynasty is a kind of elitism aesthetics with rational spirit,which is different from the life aesthetics advocating comfort in the Six Dynasties and the life aesthetics emphasizing emotion in Ming Dynasty.The study of life aesthetics in the Song Dynasty is helpful to make up for the lack of the contemporary "aestheticization of daily life" that pays attention to the mass culture and neglects the study of the elite culture.Based on the life concept of the scholars in the Song Dynasty,the paper holds that the people in the Song Dynasty bring tension to the real life in the mutual fusion and mutual life of"transcendence" and "survival",and realize the rational harmony of the living state.Based on the aesthetic view of life of the scholars in the Song Dynasty,the author holds that the people in the Song Dynasty affirmed the perceptual characteristics of life aesthetics with the view of"mind unifying temperament" and "chanting temperament",established the value orientation of life aesthetics with the view of "embodying moral in matters" and "enjoyment within suit emotions",and practiced the poetic ideal of life in perceptual aesthetics.Taking the life aesthetic practice of scholars in the Song Dynasty as an example,this paper reflects on the contemporary life aesthetic experience,and holds that life aesthetics is a kind of theory that is close to and respects the value of life and happiness.Based on the analysis of the value and limitation of the theory of life aesthetics in the Song Dynasty,this paper introspects the development of contemporary life aesthetics,and holds that Chinese life aesthetics is different from Western daily life aesthetics.It should focus on the formation of its own discourse theory on aesthetic value theory,realm theory and so on.
