I don't know what is for me and what is for something. The ancients wrote a lot about my realm, but you can't write my realm before you start. This is where heroes can prick up their ears.
The origin of Wang Guowei's "realm with me" and "realm without me" is the ancient theory of "being" and "being" in China's philosophy. The concepts of "you" and "you" were first seen in Laozi's Tao Te Ching: "Everything in the world is born with it, and everything is born without it". Laozi's concepts of "being" and "nothing" originally belonged to the philosophy of the universe, but later they had a very extensive influence on the whole ancient culture of China, including poetry aesthetics. Of course, there is a logical process from cosmic philosophy to poetic aesthetics.
In fact, the theoretical roots of Wang Guowei's "realm with me" and "realm without me" are not Schopenhauer, but these two spiritual realms in China's traditional philosophy. Of course, the realms of "self" and "no self" of Confucianism and Taoism as the realm of life cannot be directly regarded as aesthetic realms, but it should be noted that these two realms are interlinked with the aesthetic realm, and most aesthetic circles affirm that the Taoist realm of "no self" is interlinked with the aesthetic realm. For example, Li Zehou thinks it is a kind of "quasi-aesthetic" or simply called "aesthetic realm".
There are two important concepts in Wang Guowei's theory of two realms, namely "seeing things by myself" and "seeing things by things". Understanding these two concepts is also of great significance for understanding the true meaning of Wang's "two realms".
In China's traditional philosophy, "seeing things by myself" and "seeing things by things" are originally two methods of "reflecting things", which should belong to intuitive methods as opposed to "analyzing things". China's ancient philosophy holds that the "Dali" of the universe can be understood by "observing things" (intuition). But it does not mean that all "viewing things" can reach this level. There are different levels of looking at things. Xunzi is divided into two levels. He said: "The officials of the eyes and ears don't think about it, but cover things and hand them over, so they are cited. The official of the heart thinks, thinks and gets it, but doesn't think about it. This day is with me. "
