On Primitive Aesthetic Sense of the Chinese People

Although aesthetic activity is the most individualized mental activity,the common aesthetic mentality and awareness shared by a nation are objectively existent.The vast territory of China results in the differences of culture and aesthetic sense between the north and the south.However,the aesthetic development of chinese is in greater degree dominated by the stronger northern culture before the civilized society is well formed.Through conceptual finalization and symbolization,the primitive aesthetic sense of Chinese has integrated into the aesthetic ideology which attaches great importance to mentally internal feeling rather than physical vision and exerts quite far-reaching influence on Chinese literature.As a matter of fact,the aesthetic moralization during the Spring and Autumn Period is a kind of inheritance and development of the primitive aesthetic sense of the Chinese people.
