Wang Anyi's Contemporary Deduction From China's Classical Aesthetics

Making a general survey of Wang Anyi's creation course of more than 20 years, a conduit wiring is run through among them , which is to refine the poesy in life constantly. During the process of pursueing poesy, Wang Anyi has a aesthetic standard, and there is very great relation with China's classical aesthetics mainly in this aesthetic standard. Wang Anyi pay much attention to tradition. She is good at drawing nutrition in tradition and her works flash mark of China's classical aesthetics frequently too. Reading Wang Anyi's works, you will be attracted by the classical poesy that was ingeniously weaveed sometimes, thus the wonderful thing of classical poesy can be reviewed in the contemporary novel ; Sometimes you can sigh the careful technique of writing like Gongbi painting and artistic conception of diluting like ink and wash painting again, and it seems to be baptised by the picture wind of the Song dynasty and the Yuan dynasty;You can sometimes find that the marrow of Chinese dramas flashes among them vaguely too; Sometimes you can't help recalling " Dream of the Red Chamber " again ……Wang Anyi concurrently adopts the quintessence of many kinds of classical arts and makes her novel permeate the splendor of classical aesthetics. Wang Anyi's reference to classical poesy reflects mainly in five aspects: (1) melting with classical poesy and weaving the classical Chinese vocabulary(2) to draw lessons from classical poesy skill and technique(3) using poesy mould personage image (4) using poesy structure story plot (5) playing up the environment by folk song, poesy. Certainly, Wang Anyi pays attention to deducing, making changes, weeding out the old and bring forth the new too according to specific conditions while drawing lessons from classical poesy.She has development and inherit, and make the works have " the poesy in the common customs ". The impact of skill and technique and aesthetics spiritual in China's traditional painting on Wang Anyi mainly embodies in two facts : One, the exquisite and common customs of Gongbi painting; The other, the diluting beauty, rural area of the ink and wash painting. In Wang Anyi's citizen in Shanghai novel she has already drawn lessons from the detailed skill and technique of Chinese realistic painting of Gongbi,and the works conform with Gongbi in fact in inherent spirit too. The two all have aesthstic inclination of living and common customs. Plot of her desalinizing and vain of ink and wash painting have similar place. She inclined to natural beauty and her pursuit of rural area and aesthetics inclining of ink and wash painting have surprising similarity. Wang Anyi's reference to China traditional drama has reflected not only that the opera on the top layer permeates through the novel constantly but also they are related in deep understanding in " feeling". In the opera kinds that Wang Anyi mentions in novel is more than ten at least, some have also made detailed introduction and evaluation and analysis. She utilizes the opera or moulds personages , or lays the background , play up the environment, or intersperse the plot, or have both at the same time, makes classical aesthstic graceful bearing of the novel clear and apparent further.Both Wang Anyi and Tang Xianzu concern and think of love and they have some relation. To a certain extent, we can say that she both inherits and break-throughs Tang Xianzu. The impact on Wang Anyi of " Dream of the Red Mansion " is very deeply too. Wang Anyi not only mention" Dream of the Red Mansion " among a lot of works of her, but also in aesthetic pursuing of " speech vulgar and purpose refined" , the two have similarity place, such as daily life refined taste and the melting refinedly of aesthetic temperament and interests. In addition, the two all have strong sad mood to life,and they all have deeply experience to the variable destiny sense in life, the nihility sense that they express have a connection and have a difference too . As the art form, poem, painting, the novel, drama can permeate each other , draw lessons from each other, and Wang Anyi get among them profoundly . Works of her intersperse classical quintessence of poesy , divert the artistic conception painted, or showed the soul of the Chinese drama clearly , or permeated the sophisticated appeal of the novel of Ming and Qing dynasty, or had both at the same time. Her reference to various kinds of classical art forms,which makes her works pick out and collude and sink a little, the fine long hair is finished now, the pen and ink is plain , the feeling musical sound is deeply and remote and gentle . Wang Anyi makes her style of writing already lucid and elegant and refined, simple naturally again; gentle and honest, lofty and steep and magnificent; rich and exquisite, dilute and gentle again; accumulating in store making use of , it is smooth dawn to be and clear with her development and inheritting China's classical aesthetics. Wang Anyi demonstrates the song of praise of a classical aesthetics warmly with her talent, which make the brilliant rays of China's classical aesthetics yield unusually brilliant results in the contemporary literary world.
