Access To The Mind Directly Without Dissertation

Zen, a rare and beautiful Chinese follower transplanted from the Indian Buddhism old tree, contains the rich esthetics connotation which acted on the Chinese esthetics history profoundly. This article attempts to discuss deeply the occasion, process and results of the alliance of the Zen and Art.The article is divided into three parts: In the first part,"Introduction", I talk about the significance of Zen esthetics research and summarize previous research results on the relations of Zen and Art. All the selected researches are collected through psychological mechanisms.In the second part, the Text includes four chapters. First of all, I start with the common idea for Zen and Art, which is called"mind-centered", to find out the occasion for their appliance. Then I prove that there are common points in the physical and mental mechanisms, thinking procedure and rule between the Zen and Art. In addition, the two affect one another in the long way of mingling.In the second step, I mainly talk over that the self-reliance of Zen and the spirit of sbject in art activities intercommunicate in three aspects: depending on self rather than aid from other, experiencing the objective world personally and appearing distinct individual originality.In the fourth chapter, I demonstrate through the epistemology, that there are original common between instant enlightenment of Zen and the intuition thinking way, meditation and unconsciousness of artistic thought. Besides, I affirm that Zen produced positive effect on Chinese esthetic psychological experience and the artistic thought in the connecting of Zen and Art.In the last chapter of part two, I dissertate that as the result from the similar mental mechanism between Zen and Art, the Chinese literary and arts has been showing immaterial and artistic tendency after the Tang Dynasty. The casual blending of Zen and Art becomes the supreme state for art and life pursued in Chinese classical aesthetics. In the last part,"Conclusion", I find that as far as I use the'intermediate perspective'method and try to transcend the dualism, I will see Zen and Art can't be separated because they share profound significance and exists in each other. Riding on Zen's wings, the Chinese classical esthetics entered the artistic psychology age.
