Study On The Aesthetics Of Returning To The Woods And Forest In Zhuangzi

Human beings were born and evolved from the forest ape,and there was a natural affinity to the woods and forest,therefore,the relationship between human and nature has become an important part of the whole world.However,human is constantly facing a crisis of survival in the process of social evolution.Human's relationship with nature,from initial simple material production to an increasingly materialistic and self-disoriented,had clashed.With the consideration of these,human began to seek solutions,afforestation,artificial landscape had sprung up,trying to balance the proportion of natural forest to achieve the harmony between human and nature.Although these phenomena indicate the awakening of human ecological awareness,it is only as ‘otherness' to reform and reconstruct the natural,to truly realize the harmonious coexistence of human and nature and the living of human ‘self-identity',the return of the heart is particularly important.As one of traditional Chinese culture highly intelligent Taoist classics,Zhuangzi both inherited in the tradition of the nature of the Tao,also started to ‘three words' as a metaphor to construct new technique.There are many describing illustrations in Zhuangzi,not only borrow metaphor to display the beauty of forest,also with forest as ‘otherness' to make a deep exploration to ‘self-identity',which demonstrates the praise highly of ‘Tao'.The forest is not only the habitat of all creatures,but also the spiritual realm of the hermit and the divine.The forests of the world in Zhuangzi is natural,human should be awe in natural forest,suiting for it and taking as a warning,fostering strengths and circumventing weaknesses,finding the beauty of forest and discover the true essence of the ‘self-identity'.Human beings,not only to discover the world,but also to discover themselves,find their own value,and explore the meaning of existence.Zhuangzi provides the forest world,which is the epitome of the basic relationship between human and nature,and also represents a kind of regressive culture that returns to nature.Human is complicated,the sinister and forest is consistent,the human ‘self-identity' can return to the forest ‘otherness' to reflect on their own,to make some difference while they do the same.Therefore,only by recognizing the importance of the relationship between human and nature forest,can we grasp the emphasis of today's ecological civilization and solve the demands of the times.
