Traditional Chinese Aesthetics:Grand Aesthetics about Man and Nature as a Harmonious Whole

Western aesthetics,paying more attention to concepts and logic system,is a comparatively narrow minor aesthetics,whose extreme form is a set of concepts and a knowledge system failing to see human for science.Traditional Chinese aesthetics is that of existential significance,which is a Grand Aesthetics with broader scopes and sizes,with poetic symbolic ideal of man equals to the height of heaven,therefore touches the essence of aesthetics in people orientation,and is the authentic and real aesthetics.Viewing from the nature of man's endeavor to seek freedom and transcendence,the man equals to the height of heaven in Chinese traditional aesthetics is closer to the essence of aesthetics.Thus it is necessary to readjust the order of position in the world family of aesthetics,or the position of Chinese aesthetics should at least be of equal status with that of western one.The narrow-minded European centered concept surely should be abandoned.
