On the Aesthetic Wonder and Unity at the Peak of Literary Theory in the Six Dynasties Key

Abstract

The study found that the classics born during the turbulent Six Dynasties period, starting from Cao Pi’s “The Classics” to “Wen Fu”, “Wen Xin Diao Long”, “Shipin” and other classics, can all be analyzed to have a common origin. Attributes, that is, the philosophical strategy of dualistic isomorphism of explicit and implicit, is also a pattern; it can be proven that this is the philosophical key to interpreting and studying the classics of the Six Dynasties. It not only governs many aesthetic principles and aesthetic methods, but also emphasizes the need to transcend the appearance of current existence, transcend the current utilitarianism, and pay attention to the hidden and non-existent, just like paying attention to dark matter and antimatter in the universe. Pay attention to the origin of Shipin and expand aesthetic horizons; this philosophical secret not only exists in the classics of the Six Dynasties, it has its unity, graphics and vitality, as well as its historical inheritance and continuous operation. Its trajectory marks the context of literary theory and aesthetics; the modern construction of contemporary literary theory must be based on its operating trends. Only by transcending all utilitarianism can we better demonstrate the natural characteristics of Chinese tradition such as nationality. Otherwise, literary theory, aesthetics, and philosophy will not be self-consistent.
