On The Category Of Actual Situation As Of The Opposing Side In The China's Ancient Cultural Theories

The category of actual situation as of the opposing side is a complicated and important metacategory which was not fully developed in the research of China's ancient cultural theories. With its long history, the actual situation as of the opposing side has the most possibility of derivation and greatest function of universal interpretation. And as a way to express art, it can be used widely in arts of literatures, drawings, operas, music, handwriting and gardening, etc. It can also be applied in each aspect of art and literature activity for its voidance. By creating a sense of artificial aesthetics with its implication and lasting appeal, it shows its greatly potential value in theory and vivid national features.The category of actual situation as of the opposing side is originated china's ancient philosophy of Dao. The development of its meaning, on one side, is the fruits of many literature theorists' deep research and careful generalization; on the other side, it contacts closely with the practice of writing in different times. Laozhuang's discussion on relationship between "Have (you)" and "Have-not (wu)"endowed its deep-going connotation. The view of unity of opposites between positive and negative poles The Book of Changes supported it with the dialectic guidance of thinking. In Han dynasty, the philosophical thought of unity of Have and Have-not in the school of Dao was manifested and inherited in the essay of The Book of Master Huainan. The debate on metaphysical of the actual situation in Wei, Jin, and Liuchao Dynasties brought about the great change of aesthetics and literature from philosophy. Since then, this category, which was mixed with many subjects of arts and literatures, had been applied widely. After entering Tang Dynasty, this theory had been really matured and become a core one in China's classical aesthetics and literature research by bringing in the thought of "State (jing jie)", "Feeling (kong ling)" and "Real understanding (miao wu)" in Buddhism The meanings of the actual situation as of the opposing side and its application are pluralistic and complicated, so this paper is to emphasize on the eight common kinds of meanings with the order of "world-author-text- reader". By observing its application of different meanings, it can help to reduce the blindness and roughness while using it .the aspects to illustrate are from the objective world of art and literature creating presentation to the subjective world of making art and literature as the theme, from art and literature creating to the forms of text, and from its acceptance to its criticize.The actual situation as of the opposing side may produce a unique affectional result because it contains aesthetics of brevity, mist, imaginary, expressiveness and reason, which make the readers feel implicit and ponderable with its mixture of emotion and scene, and the actual situation in its opposite. The application of this skill can make art gleam with aesthetics. All arts must pursuit the infinitude with the help of the finitude to create the image of art, i.e. they have to depend on part of the "image" to produce the effect of aesthetics by fully developing its imaginary, processing, refining, and transforming the object and real life, or make the aesthetics beyond arts by producing "the abstract" with the help of "the fact". This is an inevitable rule. From the perspective of philosophy, the producing, existing and applying of the actual situation as of the opposing side is also inexorable. In addition, the School of Form Pagoda gestalt and the Aesthetics of Interpretation-Acceptance in the occidental offer scientific evidence for this theory. We can conclude some common rules in arts of human beings and find its vivid national features by comparing and discussing this category between eastern and western academies.
