| Confucius is not a pedantry and icy person but a happy, free, optimistic man. For reverting his true appearance this paper emphasizes particularly on the angle of sense. Then we can near to Confucius and his aesthetics about life. After all, life is vivid and instinctive. Confucius perform a great song of life with the harmonious and ripe life state. He travels many countries in 14 years in order to carry out his policy of relieving demos. His thought and life are actually one integrated mass, because his thought mainly comes from his apperception for his life practice. This apperception makes his thought and life together. On the one hand, Confucius thought comes from his own life practice. On the other hand, Confucius life proves his wisdom about life. This is the sense of practice that surpasses the viewpoint which puts the spirit in central place. Practice not only is an activity of corporality and mass but also includes spirit. Looking the person as the subject means looking the person as the practicer. Person as the body is a being. The individual's action changes the world, this is the practice. For Confucius aesthetics is not only a subject but also the life practice and the vivid life state. You can taste the hardships of life and see the green color of life. In other hand, the harmonious aesthetic feeling comes from the harmonious of human and nature, the harmonious between humans. The most important is integrative between universe and human beings. Could we have the possibility to find the localization of aesthetic from Confucius's life practice and state? What is his influence to Chinese aesthetic art as the ancient oracle? This is the questions that I think about in this paper. |
