Title: Stimulation and Traditional Chinese Aesthetic Mentality
Abstract: or Stimulation, is an important concept in traditional Chinese poetics. In light of targeted object, it insists on emotions based on objects; in light of poet, it upholds meanings embodied in emotions; in light of creation that is both subjective and objective, it advocates the aesthetic conception of meanings through suggestion and implication. Through the study and analysis of Xing, we can find the basic features of the traditional Chinese soul-matter relationship and theory of inspiration. Not only is Xing the crystallization of traditional Chinese aesthetic attitude with respect to the relationship between soul and matter in poetic spirit, but Chinese poetic spirit itself is brought out by this important concept Xing.
