Zhu Guangqian's profile!

a famous aesthete, literary theorist and translator. Zhu Guangqian, pen name Meng Shi, is from Tongcheng County, Anhui Province. One of the pioneers and founders of modern aesthetics in China. He is well versed in Chinese and Western learning. Aesthetics became an independent science in modern times. Wang Guowei, Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun and Zhou Yang have made outstanding contributions to the development of modern aesthetics in China. But until the 193s, aesthetics had not become an independent discipline. At this time, Zhu Guangqian's monographs such as Psychology of Literature and Art, Talking about Beauty and Poetics are of pioneering significance. Zhu Guangqian is also one of the pioneers of modern comparative aesthetics and comparative literature in China. Poetics is a model work of comparative aesthetics in China. China's classical poetry is interpreted by western poetics, and China's poetics is used to prove the famous western poetics. It is elegant and beautiful. Zhu Guangqian thinks: "In my past writing, if there is anything independent of myself, it is still Poetics. On Poetry makes some scientific analysis on the rhythm of China's poems and why China's poems later embarked on the road of rhythmic poetry. " In addition, his Psychology of Literature and Art is also a classic work that blends Chinese and western cultures. After the founding of New China, Zhu Guangqian put forward the viewpoint that "beauty is the dialectical unity of subjective and objective" through self-criticism of his previous idealistic aesthetic thoughts, and constantly enriched and developed his own aesthetic thoughts with Marxist "aesthetic practice viewpoint", forming an influential aesthetic school. After the downfall of the Gang of Four, Zhu Guangqian made a systematic study on the classic works of Marxism, such as Economics-Philosophical Manuscripts in 1844, Outline on Feuerbach, Das Kapital, Dialectics of Nature, etc., and put forward valuable amendments to some translations. He made important contributions to the construction of modern aesthetics in China and the establishment of Marxist subjective aesthetic system and literary theory system in China. The History of Western Aesthetics is Zhu Guangqian's most important work, and the first one written by Chinese scholars. It has groundbreaking academic value and represents the level of China's study of western aesthetic thoughts. The translation of Hegel's Aesthetics won him a high reputation. His numerous translations and translations paved the way for China's aesthetic research and literary theory research. Zhu Guangqian's academic spirit can be summarized as follows: First, self-dissection and constant criticism. In the aesthetic criticism and debate in 195s and 196s, Zhu Guangqian had the courage to dissect himself, and seriously criticized the aesthetic thought of idealism, especially the idealism he had preached. As a famous professor with outstanding achievements, his behavior is really commendable. After that, he constantly criticized himself and put forward new ideas and new questions, which is a model for scholars. The second is to seek truth and correct style of study. By criticizing idealism, Zhu Guangqian realized that he was "trying to beat around the bush in the maze" in the past, and later began to learn the original works of Maleism. When he was nearly sixty years old, he began to teach himself Russian, and made a comparative study of various texts (Chinese, German, Russian, French and English), and achieved a series of new achievements. He advocated independent thinking, and never followed others' advice. In his later years, "Talking about Beauty Letters" and "The Collection of Aesthetic Picks" were the concrete manifestations of his academic spirit. The third is the "three-ism" and the spirit of selflessness. Zhu Guangqian believes in the "Three Ones", that is, this body. At this time, here: "What this body should do and can do, you have to take it from this body and don't pass the buck to others." "What should be done and can be done at this time must be done at this time, and it will not be delayed until the future." "What should be done and can be done here (my position, my environment) must be done here, and it is not shirked to another position in the imagination." This is the embodiment of Zhu Guangqian's academic spirit, which is not empty talk, focusing on the present and down-to-earth
