Abstract

The shishuhua of East Asian literati in a monistic universe is a figurative language based on Eastern philosophy. This paper observed its contextual chracter to the theory of visual message which means to deliver their intention through symbolical meaning of visible world, and unified their spirituality and symbolic meaning. Literati put "liveliness of vital qi" on the first place in their shishuhua Thus, literati emphasized non-doing attitude in doing. Their expression about this concept appear with a vacant space drawn in ink and wash of an achromatic color and the fog treatment in landscape painting. Oneness appearing in shishuhua was possible to visualize the inner mind in their process of shishuhsua brushstroking. In order to illuminate the character of shishuhua oneness this paper considered visual function of the process to four side under mind and body unification. The first is that the oneness of brushtroke functioned harmoniously drawing/writing/coloring/expressing by the property of the medium, so called, four friends in literati’s room-brush, paper, ink and ink stone. This envelopes body/mind and material/spirituality into one while seeing and drawing with the right hemisphere of a brain. The world of shishuhua is practicable "liveliness of qi" by this oneness of one brushstroke. The second is that shishuhua Yilu (conformity) accompanies critical gaze as unified visual self-expression. The third is that the process of drawing brushstroke is visual reenactment and self-healing through the embodied practice. The last is that such visual function is to awake self-reflection and creative nature of a self as visual contemplative practice. However, the visual function actualized oneness of shishuhua was fragmentized and functionalized along with modernization. this paper proposes that the recovery of the unified symbolical aspect and unified perception is the key to resolve not only the modern problem derived by seperated perception of the self-centered visual but consilience task of the fragmented modern academy which is the contemporary education inquiry.
