Several Inspirations from Traditional Chinese Aesthetics

摘要

Contemporary social life and its art are urgently in want of a new aesthetic system, namely, an aesthetic systemof modern formation.However, the above-mentioned “modern aesthetics” is not absolutely equal to “modern Western aesthetics” asadvocated by certain people. Modern’ is a global concept. “Modern aesthetics” should be a genuine internationalsubject, standing at a height of 21st century, absorbing the whole quintessence of both Oriental and Westerncultures. In spite of the fact that various schools of aesthetics are emerging with leaps and bounds in today’s West,we can hardly find any that can be named aesthetic systems of modern formation.
