Bergson's Life Aesthetics And The Ideological Trend Of May Fourth Aesthetics

Two major discussion of the Chinese modern aesthetics issues is aesthetics should pay more attention to rational or intuition,and the deeper meaning is the development direction of Chinese aesthetics issues.Traditional Chinese aesthetics focus on the emotional and make light of the rational.Traditional Chinese aesthetics had been shifted by the "May Fourth" new culture movement.The result is the birth of modern Chinese aesthetics. And this shift was not the primary, but passive.The reason is the incentive of the Western aesthetics Bergson, as a master of life aesthetics, his thought had passed into China during this special time, this implied life spirit brought far-reaching inflence on the ideological trend of the May Fourth aesthetics.In short, Bergson's aesthetics brought deeper impact to Chinese aesthetics is because of social and historical development, China's own modern aesthetics development's needs. However, internal work need external work, then the Western aesthetics was getting into china is bound to local traditional aesthetics internal need.It will become the logical premise of this study. The evolutionary mechanism can be summarized as follows:First, the Chinese traditional aesthetics in light of rational,and pay more attention to emotional linking. They focus on "life" and "the endless spirit" and "Intuition",these features lead to life aesthetics with which homogeneous Bergson acceptance. Second, the reality of social and historical conditions, is the premise which promote this process occurs. Third, local esthetician reflection on the east and west aesthetics,and criticism of Western aesthetics,intake of local aesthetic innovation, all of those ultimately formed Chinese modernity "life aesthetics.During the process of analysising Bergson life aesthetics took impact of local culture.Modern aestheticians should paid more attention.And their theoretical is are essential. basis.From those literary work, we can feel the impact of Bergson's aesthetics.Of course, this impact is different. The results of this difference is just for us to solve the problem of modernity of Chinese aesthetics provide a useful reference. Based on the same Thinking characteristics, the same artistic tradition, to study the chinese aestheticians reflection to Bergson,It seems easier to get some regular cognition through this comparative analysis.Therefore, this paper has following structure:First of all, Bergson as the most influential of French philosopher in 20th century whose philosophy of life philosoph had a profound impact on the world. Study Bergson's aesthetics can not ignore his entire ideological system,this paper mainly elaborates Bergson's entir life and philosophy system,put his life aesthetics under large philosophy system.At the same time,give a brief introduction and overview of the spread in ChinaSecond, Bergson philosophy of life has common to traditional Chinese philosophy and thinking characteristics which as the starting point of researching aesthetic issues. The same of the Bergson's life aesthetics and traditional Chinese philosophy,is grasping of the life itself.So,the first compatibility is characterized by the first two Bergson's "rolling-life impulse" and the most basic Chinese Aesthetics'spirit of the "Harmony". Intuition, as the most important content of Bergson's life aesthetic with similar in meaning of the methods of traditional Chinese aesthetics. The text illustrate the link of this with Chinese means "Intuition"and Bergson's ntuition. The intelligent of Intuition brought absolutely true, and it reveals the face of the world is the most real and most complete.Ultimate goal of understanding is to realize that the unity of all things linked, and that only intuition or irrational can be achieved. Bergson, like traditional Oriental philosophy, is concerned that "life" of the world, using the same method of intuitive understanding. Based on this philosophical basis, Bergson's aesthetics can eventually influence China. Certainly need to add is that because of the historical conditions and the needs of China's social development, those lead to integrate the Bergson's aesthetic of traditional Chinese aesthetics.Then, from people reflecting on the traditional Chinese aesthetics since "May Fourth Movement ", focusing on the reality reason and manifestations which people accepted Bergson's aesthetics,focusing on Bergson's aesthetics has effected traditional Chinese aesthetics in this period,and analysis several representative figures in different periods of domestic aesthetics. The first stage, the introduction of Bergson's life aesthetics.The mainly represented figure was Lu Xun in this period. This period of Western culture pursued the "used", or the purpose of introducting Bergson's aesthetic is to "use"rather than transformation, is the results of local aesthetics spontaneous reflection.The second stage, transformation of Bergson's life aesthetics. The mainly represented figure was New-Confucian school of LiangShuMing, XiongShili.Bergson's life aesthetics was self-transformation in this period.Competited stiff the tradition Confucian philosophical aesthetics and Bergson's life philosophy analogy, focusing on life attitude, and absorbed Bergson's philosophy aesthetic, returned to the traditional, defensed for Confucian, but did not reconstruct traditional philosophy Aesthetic on the metaphysical.The third stage is the mainly focus of this article.that was reflection Bergson's aesthetics and traditional Chinese lifeaesthetics.. The mainly represented figure was Guangqian, FangDongmei, Zongbaihua and. The characterize of this stage was by learning Bergson's life aesthetics, reflected traditional Chinese aesthetics, "East meets West", in order to construct modern Chinese life and aesthetics system.When Bergson's life aesthetics met May Fourth New Culture of China, His special thought of "life "character,life impulses and intuition deeply melt into the people's understanding of the universe. Its life aesthetics could land in Chin drawing a heavy touch on Chinese modern aesthetics System. Bergson's life far-reaching impacted china,and Chinese aestheticians absorbed, extracted, integrated its theory.During this process appeared all kinds of situations let us reflection learn to study external aesthetics and study how to construct own aesthetic system, construction contemporary aesthetics.
