Aesthetic Research On The Chinese Character "you"

“ 游 ” is a complex Chinese character.Xu Shen classified “ 游 ” as the “ ? ” department in his book Origin of Chinese Characters.There is a close connection between “斿” and flags,which is more relevant to the basic meaning of the initial character—— “斿”.On the basis of “斿”,other components have been added to it,and the glyphs have become complicated,and at the same time the meaning of this character has been expanded.The stage characteristics of the “journey” glyph changes are more obvious: “斿” —“游”— “游”.The meaning of the initial glyph "斿" is relatively simple,and it represents the image of a person holding a flag(“The Person Holding A Flag ”),afterwards “辶” is adding to the initial glyph “斿”,the new glyph “游” has a new image and meaning of “walking”.Though there is no obvious time boundary for the glyph changes from “游” to “游”,from the perspective of existing ancient literature,the appearance of “游” might be a little later,and the appearance of this glyph can also be said to be completely changed the “destiny” of this Chinese character.“游” replaces the first two glyph,and becoming the most commonly used glyph in daily writing,and its meaning has also been expanded.The image and meaning of “water(水)” is injected into it,making “游” developing a kind of temperament which is far from earthliness and in popular with intellectuals.And Chuang Tzu and his successors,let “游” become a unique world view and value orientation of the Chinese people,and make it have profound impact on the later literature and art.This influence is not only manifested in literary creation,but also has a far-reaching impact on the aesthetic personality of the subject of literary acceptance.“游” is a very old research object of Chinese classical aesthetics.Chuang Tzu aesthetics has created a new situation of this word,making “游” no longer just a simple ideographic Chinese character,but a classic aesthetic category,mentioned “游” we have to always focus on Chuang Tzu aesthetics,but the aesthetic study of “游” is inseparable from the meaning of the Chinese character itself.We find its initial text “斿”,the original culture preserved here.Among the genes,explore the rich aesthetic connotation of this word,and thus have a deeper understanding of “游”,Chuang Tzu aesthetics,and beauty.
