Title: On Life Consciousness in the Novel Shi Shuo XinYu and Its Philosophical Basis
Abstract: The novel Shi Shuo XinYu implies strong life conscious ness,which includes connotation in three aspects:death consciousness, space-ti me consciousness and poetic life. The scholars during the Wei and Jin dynasties maintained a transcendent attitude towards death. They were not fearful that th e life of human body should wither away, while the self-cultivation of spiritu al life was highly valued. The consciousness on space-time makes them sustain the ideal spiritual realm in the pursuit from the finite to the infinite. Those scholars, who worshiped the mysterious nature and upheld a broad-minded life, e xerted themselves to seek a poetic life within which the human being and mother nature are blended as milk into water. Their life consciousness was on the basi s of a philosophical sect in the Wei and Jin dynasties.
