This article takes the body in the festivals and customs of the Han Dynasty as the research object,excavates its rich connotation from the aesthetic point of view,and discusses its aesthetic significance.The Han dynasty was the initial period for many festivals.The combination of the huge and exquisite official Confucianism ideology with the long-standing folk superstition and customs greatly stimulated the prosperity and transformation of festival customs,enriched the content of festivals and customs,and the body in the festivals became The expression symbols of the views of heaven and human,the views of ghosts and gods,and the views of life and death in the Han dynasty are both powerful and meaningful at the same time.It is the social customs of the Han generation to worship the body taboos and the pursuit of longevity in the Han Dynasty.The rulers of the Han Dynasty took Confucianism as the official learning,and the body in the festivals and customs was integrated with "rituals";in the festivals and customs of the Han Dynasty,the people and the upper class Classes participate in festival activities together to maintain the stability of social order.The people respect all things in nature,advocate the belief in gods,and attach importance to ancestor sacrifices.Through the interpretation of music and dance and the regulations on dress,the connotation of body aesthetics is presented.This thesis is mainly divided into three parts,namely introduction,main text,and conclusion:The introduction is mainly a summary of the research results of festivals and customs in the Han Dynasty,and a brief definition of festivals and body.The first chapter mainly discusses the historical background of festival customs in Han Dynasty.The development of festivals and customs in the Han Dynasty cannot be separated from the development of politics,ideology and culture.The admiration of Confucianism by the rulers made the cultural factors of festivals and customs continuously strengthened,and many historical figures became the objects of people’s admiration.The Han people’s summary of the twenty-four solar terms and the perfection of the calendar system laid the foundation for the development of festivals and customs.In the formation and development of festival customs,the Han people inherited many cultural customs and traditions since the pre-Qin period,which made the festival content more colorful.Among them,the ethos of fascinating things,ghosts and divinity are reflected in festival customs.The second chapter mainly discusses the display of the body in the festival customs of the Han Dynasty.The Han people combined the normative nature of "ritual" with the universality of "vulgarity",which expanded the influence of festivals and customs and enriched the content of festivals and customs.This article takes the shooting ceremony,Chinese Valentine’s Day,and community sacrifice activities as examples,and the people’s interpretation vividly shows the characteristics of the "reciprocity of etiquette and customs" of festivals and customs in the Han Dynasty.The social attributes of people are manifested in the ceremony.The appearance of the ceremony brings the body into it,and the body has a variety of manifestations.The people have both the heart to respect ghosts and gods,and they also have to drive away ghosts,both of which are to achieve the aspiration of physical safety and health;the strict rules when people sacrifice to ancestors have a disciplined effect on the body.The thought of "filial piety" and the concept of "seeing death as life" made the trend of thick burial prevail.The expression of Han people through music and dance and the display of costumes have the perceptual characteristics of a specific era.The third chapter mainly discusses the connotation of body in festival customs of Han Dynasty.The views of heaven and man,the view of ghosts and gods,and the view of immortality in the Han dynasty are manifested in multiple dimensions in the body in festival customs.The Han people not only possess rich theoretical thinking,but also devote themselves to the aesthetic practice in daily life.This article tries to analyze the Han people’s activities of admiring nature,believing in gods and offering sacrifices to their ancestors,and expounds the sense of reverence and sublime of the body in the festivals and customs of the Han Dynasty.The fourth chapter mainly discusses the aesthetic significance of the body in the festival customs of the Han Dynasty.As a part of daily life,the public participates extensively,gaining identity through the expression of body and form,and experiencing the value of life.The spiritual world of the people includes the beliefs,prayers,and blessings of the people.These sustenances transcend the limits of class and status.Starting from the individual,people take spiritual transcendence as their purpose,and value the spiritual transcendence and aesthetic creation of daily life,so that people forget the troubles of reality and enter the realm of transcendence.
