Guan Ju poetically described a complete aesthetic process of love, that is, the aesthetic process of human beauty (physical beauty and spiritual beauty). At the beginning of the poem, it gives people a beautiful picture of nature and people-"Guan Guan Yu is in Jiangzhou." The beautiful and virtuous woman is a good spouse of a gentleman. "In spring, by the river, there are green grass and pairs of pigeons playing in the water. A beautiful girl is picking leeks by the river, which arouses the infinite feelings of young men. Ma quoted dialect in Comments on Mao Poetry, saying, "Qin and Jin are good, and the heart is beautiful, too." "Love often begins with being attracted by the other person's body (the beauty of a person's appearance), and then there is further communication to understand the other person's mind (the beauty of the mind), so love is an aesthetic process of human beauty. Both sides of love are empathetic. Although it began with the feeling of the physical beauty of the opposite sex, it has a detached feeling of the physical beauty of the opposite sex. When young men first meet a woman, they pay attention to her physical beauty, but later, her pure feeling of physical beauty disappears (this process needs a transition in the text), which is followed by the serious interference of women's emotions, which is reflected in the poem as "I am happy to have it, I am sleepy, I am thinking about it" and "I am at ease, tossing and turning"-the uncertainty of women's attitude has caused men. However, I feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn. "When both sides have empathy, love comes into being. Here, poetry reveals the unified relationship between subject and nature in the aesthetic process of love. As I said before, Guan Ju is a wedding song, which emphasizes ethics. Therefore, poetry not only affirms the naturalness of aesthetic subject, but also emphasizes the unity of aesthetic subject and social rationality. In poetry, these relationships are harmoniously isomorphic to the aesthetic subject, thus forming an ideal view of love.
In fact, in The Book of Songs, not only Guan Ju, but also a large number of poems such as Yao Tao and Jia Jian all reflect this ideal aesthetic relationship. Jia Xu promoted the aesthetic experience of love to the height of the subject's philosophical thinking about time and space and life.
Guanju is a folk song of the Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty was a period of highly advocating subjective rationality in the history of China. The rulers have built a set of ethical and moral system with the patriarchal concept of consanguinity as the core, and the aesthetic concept has been endowed with a strong ethical and moral color accordingly. Early Confucianism took "harmony" as the beauty, regarded the perfection of the main merit as the ultimate pursuit, and respected human nature to some extent. In The Analects of Confucius Advanced, Confucius specifically addressed Ceng Zi's answer. We can see that Confucius demanded that the social "rule by courtesy" and rational norms be turned into people's conscious demands from nature. -Early Confucianism did not destroy human nature. Reflected in the aesthetic values of love, what Guan Ju shines is the beauty of "harmony" and the beauty of human nature. While affirming man's naturalness, he also regards social rationality as a conscious requirement, emphasizes ethical concepts, and embodies ideal love as the aesthetic value orientation of society. Only in this way can Guanju be among the 300 poems, which is highly praised by later generations. In addition, folk is a free world, which provides suitable growth soil and temperature for this aesthetic pursuit of love.
However, such an ideal aesthetic value orientation of love is only a flash in the pan in mainstream discourse. In the subsequent social and historical development, the cold chastity archway standing in the wind and rain is the basic image of love, which shows the truth of historical development. The shining light of human nature in the aesthetic values of love in the pre-Qin period faded, and it was infected with the hypocrisy of Taoism. The ink-splatter is a Confucian thought reformed by the rulers, which only exists clumsily on the edge of society (brothel).
