Abstract

This paper is the result of studying the theory of ecological aesthetics of postmodernism through traditional 'Yixiang theory'. 'Yixiang theory' was originally an ecological ontology established in the early part of the Han Dynasty based on Confucian 'Human good nature'(性善說), 'the Vaporization conception of the universe'(氣化宇宙觀), and 'Oriental balance and harmony medicine'(中和醫學). Since the Weijin era, it expanded to literary theory. After the end of the Ming Dynasty, it became a core category of Chinese classical aesthetics as it was discussed as the body of literary and artistic creation. In modern times, the study of 'Yixiang' has been developed from two perspectives: one is the view of 'Yixiang' as a translation of Western 'image', and the other is the view of 'Yixiang' as an epistemology based on the traditional East Asian thought of qi monism. In this paper, 'Yixiang' was studied as the epistemology of 'ecological existence' and the theory of literature and art creation based on the latter research results. The text first introduced examples of 'modernism' aesthetics and art and culture movements, introduced 'postmodernism' that coexists while maintaining a complementary relationship with it, and discussed 'postmodernism' aesthetic theory based on the ancient 'Yixiang theory' of East Asia.The imaginary structure of the five chapters on which the five images are projected is spleen(脾), lung(肺), liver(肝), kidney(腎), blood(血). The five chapters contain pulse(脈), camp(營), sperm(精), blood(血), qi(氣), which are material elements that are the source of mental action. These material elements contain 'shen(神)', 'Yi(意)', 'Zhi(志)', 'Hun(魂)' and 'Po(魄)'. 'Yixiang' is a 'internal rule' formed through the repetitive circulation of blood that flows through the whole body based on the five intestines, and is a natural flow of the creator's 'mind'. Since literature and art creation with the 'Yixiang' as the main body are realized through each 'body', it contains subtle differences according to each 'Qixiang'(氣象). This can be said to be the subtle difference between the words spoken out from each 'body', that is, 'nuance' felt in the words and writings. This difference becomes an indispensable factor not only in literature but also in all areas of discussing the originality of the artist. We can also partially confirm the internalized 'sound system' through domesticated instruments from highly skilled performers and palettes of original painters. The artist's 'Yixiang' is also revealed through the rhythm and rhythm of music, the octave and calligraphy, and the coloration of paintings. This is each 'Yixiang' that is proved only as a result expressed through each 'body'. Aesthetics and art based on 'Yixiang Theory' can be an effective alternative to overcoming a common crisis in that it leads a person's mind to a more fundamental truth beyond the interests of reality, and it can provide an appropriate perspective to promote a natural fusion of ecology and aesthetics in that it leads to the 'Perfect harmonious(太和)' with 'the Vaporization universe'(氣化宇宙) which goes beyond the interests of reality, by discussing 'the Vaporization universe'(氣化宇宙) and microcosm humans as the same class. In 'Yixiang Theory', humans are ecological beings that can fully realize the reason of 'the Vaporization universe'(氣化宇宙) through their own 'body', and they can promote harmony with the universe by keeping their 'body' in peace. In this way of thinking, humans can promote art that transcends reality in everyday life and pursue true beauty. To achieve the birth of the universe by fully warming up one's 'body' is to sublimate the living world into the art world and to participate in the beautiful story of the whole space ecosystem together.
