What is the main content of Taoist aesthetics?

Taoist aesthetics is a theory about the aesthetic relationship between Taoist literature and art, aesthetics itself is a multi-genre theoretical system, and Taoist aesthetics is a developing discipline. Strictly speaking, religion itself is the reflection of human ideals in the other side of the world, and it makes up for the defects in the real world. Taoist immortal world is the aesthetic extension of China's ideal in the real world, so it is also the pursuit of beauty. Religious ideal is an aesthetic value concept of human beings, and Taoism can be said to be an aesthetic value system of the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation. Therefore, Taoist aesthetics plays an important role in China's aesthetics, which can be divided into three interrelated levels: Taoist aesthetics, Taoist aesthetics and Neidan aesthetics. The cultural origin of Taoism and Taoism began with the primitive religion of reproductive worship and female worship in matriarchal clan commune, and Taoism and Taoist aesthetics also took this primitive religious concept as the starting point. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Laozi wrote The Classic of Tao Te Ching, which put forward the highest category of "Tao" and Taoist values and was also the aesthetic standard of Taoist aesthetics. Tao Te Ching says: "Man is everywhere, the earth follows the sky, the sky follows the Tao, and the Tao follows the nature", which is the general outline of Taoist aesthetics. Whether it is social structure, ethical structure, psychological structure or natural structure, everything that is in harmony with Tao and conforms to the cosmic rhythm of natural inaction is true, good and beautiful. And those pretentious and unnatural things. It is heartless, hypocritical, ugly and evil. During the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi put forward the Taoist theory of artistic conception and realm. "Zhuangzi Foreign Things" cloud: "The stem is in the fish, so you get the fish and forget the stem; Hooves are such in rabbits, he got rabbits but forgot hooves; The speaker was so concerned that he forgot to say it proudly. " This artistic conception is the basis of China's literary, poetry, calligraphy, painting, music and other artistic theories. From "the realm with me" to "the realm without me", and then to the realm of "Tao" where heaven and earth coexist with me and everything is one with me, it highlights the characteristics of Taoist aesthetics. Zhuangzi's philosophy also put forward a real life realm of carefree people, a social realm of virtue and inaction in the world and Tao Tong's life realm, which pushed the aesthetic standard to the peak of Tao. Until the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Taoism began to mature, the aesthetic standard of Taoist naturalism became a social fashion, and Taoist aesthetics gradually formed. The Six Dynasties was an era of awakening beauty. Literature and art, once bound by imperial politics and Confucian ethics, began to be liberated and blossomed in various fields. In this era, landscape literature, fairy poems, mystery novels, landscape paintings, ink paintings, garden art simulating natural landscapes, bonsai and so on appeared almost simultaneously, and the discovery of natural beauty reflected the awakening of human nature. There is a deep connection between nature and human nature in essence, and it is Taoism and Taoist aesthetics that inspire the artist's personality consciousness. Dai Shi, Gu,,, etc. They are all from the Six Dynasties and are good at landscape painting. Some poets and celebrities are intoxicated by mountains and rivers, live in the natural environment of mountains and rivers, and pursue the immortal ideal of harmony between man and nature, so landscape literature comes into being. Taoist aesthetics is an extension of Taoist aesthetics in the other side of the world and a religion of Taoist aesthetics. Taoism itself is also a pursuit of aesthetic value, although it is an illusory aesthetic value. The aesthetic standard of Taoist aesthetics is "harmony between man and nature", and its core is the pursuit of the immortal world, thus developing Taoist literary and artistic forms such as myths and legends, Taoist poems, immortal songs, Taoist songs, novels, biographies, Taoist dramas, allusions, music, fine arts, murals, calligraphy, sculptures, palace buildings, etc. Beauty is people's emotional pursuit and value judgment of objective things in psychological structure, which depends on the harmony between subject and object in psychological structure. Harmony is the isomorphism of subject and object, and everything in the universe transmits information according to the isomorphic interaction. The greater the degree of this harmonious isomorphism, the more information the subject obtains for the purpose, and the higher the aesthetic value judgment value. From the perspective of generalized information theory, subject and object can be divided into dynamic super-giant systems with triple hierarchical structure (see Hu's Exploration of Generalized Information Theory, Nature Exploration No.3, 1984). As the main body, human itself is a highly integrated dynamic system composed of triple hierarchical structure. The first level of human beings is "body structure", in which information appears in the form of biological inheritance and orderly arrangement of cell tissues, which is what Taoism calls the level of "shape" of human bodies. The second level of human beings is the "life structure", that is, the energy flow with high information in the body, which is equivalent to the "qi" in Neidan. The third level of people is "psychological structure", and information appears in psychological forms such as perception, emotion, consciousness, will and imagination, which is a more orderly stream of consciousness. It is equivalent to the level of "God" in Inner alchemy. The objects outside the subject, including nature, human society, science and culture, are also a working supergiant system composed of triple hierarchical structure, which corresponds to and interacts with the triple hierarchical structure of the subject. The first level object is "natural structure", including all physical and biological objects in the universe, especially the natural and artificial nature related to human life. The second level of the object is the "social structure", including the structure formed by all human social activities such as the economy, politics and ethics of state machines, nationalities and social groups, and the third level of the object is the "cultural structure", including all cultural knowledge such as science, philosophy, religion, literature, art, ideology and morality accumulated by human beings for a long time. When information is transferred from the object to the subject and from the low-level structure to the high-level structure, the form of information will change qualitatively. That is to say, the information transmission between subjects and objects at different levels is an interactive process of "isomorphism" and "heterogeneity", which will evolve with the time axis in the space-time coordinate system. Information that conforms to this development direction can be roughly regarded as purposeful information, and the value judgment of this amount of information at the level of the subject's psychological structure is the aesthetic measure. The division of subject and object is based on value judgment. It can be an individual, a group of people or human society. When the individual is the subject of value judgment, people outside the individual are regarded as objects. In the subject, the genetic code that determines human growth and development cannot care about the details of the brain. People's wisdom mainly comes from the day after tomorrow, that is to say, although individuals experience death, the psychological structure and cultural structure of the group can inherit knowledge. Everyone's individual psychological structure should interact with others, even with society and nature, so as to realize the synchronization with the group psychological structure and exchange information with the social structure and cultural structure of the object. The interaction between man and social structure and natural structure can be interpreted as practical activities, which reflects man's sociality. The interaction between people's psychological structure and their own life structure and body structure is a kind of life activity, which embodies the naturalness of access, and beauty is the realization of the free form of social and natural people. Since the Tang dynasty, Taoist inner alchemy has risen. It absorbed the essence of Taoist philosophy and Zen Buddhism, formed its own theoretical system in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, and reached a superb level in practice and exploration of human mysteries. In this way, Neidan aesthetics also absorbed the advantages of Taoist aesthetics and Zen aesthetics, and made a step forward in exploring the essence of beauty. Learn from Neidan. The theory of "one move without beginning and one life" pursues the unity of heaven and man, and the immortal enters the realm of metaphysics. The so-called "life in the early Yuan Dynasty" can be regarded as the initial information before BIGBANG and the origin of the universe before the time printing space was unfolded. This initial chaos hides the order and is the hidden information source that produces the inner rhythm of the universe. The key of Inner alchemy is to coordinate one's main structure with the fundamental rhythm of nature, to integrate one's body and mind with the chaotic universe, to summon the original information of the initial state of the universe to the body, to conform to the natural nature of the universe, and to return to the original state. From the perspective of generalized information theory, the existence of any interaction can be regarded as the source and sink of transmitting and receiving information. People are both information sensors and information generators, and the brain has the functions of "isomorphism" and "heterogeneity" on information, and the amount of information can be stored and multiplied in the brain. In this way, the inner alchemy can be regarded as a technique to tune the rhythm of human body with the inner rhythm of mother and son, and to stimulate the meta-consciousness (meta-god) to recruit "innate harmony" at the quantum level for cohesion, so as to achieve the purpose of returning to emptiness and uniting the Tao. "Tao" is the highest realm of beauty, and Neidan's efforts to explore "self" are also efforts to reach the highest realm of beauty. The process of human pursuit of purposeful information is actually a process of returning to the natural nature of the universe, and it is also a process of returning to nature from the day after tomorrow, returning to the unity of man and nature, and returning to the mystery of the Tao. In view of this, in the history of China's aesthetics, the aesthetic standards of Confucian aesthetics mostly take the harmony and order of social structure as the value judgment, take family as the standard, and think that what conforms to family ethics is good, so it is beautiful. The aesthetic standard of Taoist aesthetics mostly takes the harmony and order of natural structure as its value judgment, and thinks that what is in harmony with nature is true, and it is also in harmony with Tao, so it is also beautiful. Taoism is a kind of Taoism. A religion that combines Confucianism, Mohism and hundred schools of thought, therefore, Taoist aesthetics unifies truth and goodness, but it also leads the pursuit of beauty to the other side of the world. Neidan aesthetics reveals the aesthetic standard as the harmony with the natural nature of the universe and the tuning of the inner rhythm of the universe, and regards the integration of the same way as the highest realm of beauty, which further touches the essence of beauty. Taoist aesthetics is embodied in all aspects of Taoist literature and art, and we will gradually deepen our understanding in the future in-depth study.
