Although "elegant" and "silence" are not all the aesthetics of the oriental warehouse, it represents the cultural essence of China and Japan. It can be said that "elegant" is the product of Confucian culture, and "silence" is the embodiment of Zen thought. They interpret the deep understanding of the Oriental people from different perspectives.

Elegant

From the objective perspective of social development, the surreal thoughts of Buddhism have the limitations of social development. Therefore, the ancient Chinese ruling class finally chose to use Confucianism as the main value system of society as its inevitable system, and "elegance" is exactly exactly the "elegance". Confucian definition and measure of people or things.

What is "Ya"? It is relative to rough and vulgar, but it is different from luxury. It is the exquisite and moderate evaluation of things that shows things. It is a neutral and implicit beauty between vulgar and luxury. "Mao Shi Preface" said, "The elegant person, right." What is right? It is the meaning of Zhongzheng and standards.

This criterion of "Ya" is produced under the golden mean of Confucianism. It is a measure of people or things in traditional Chinese culture. We often name them. Yaju, Ya Shi, Yazu, Yashi, etc., it is a beautiful and noble manifestation.

In a society where Confucianism is established in simulation of natural ethics, "the golden mean" is the ultimate method of solving all relationships. What is "the golden mean"? "Mean" is not "neutral and mediocre", but the meaning of "observing the right and compromise". The so -called: "Inconsistently, it is not easy to be mediocre."

The Moon is the ideal way of Confucianism to solve the contradictions in the world. When we adhere to the Word of the Mean, what we reveal is the "elegant" state.

"Elegant" is an abstract description, and it is difficult to form a concrete expression through words. If you want to ask what the measurement of "elegant"? Perhaps "Culture Binbin" proposed by Confucius is its best interpretation.

Zi said: "The quality of the text is the wild, and the texture is the history. The gentleness of the gentleness, and then the gentleman." It means that if the person does not cultivate his nature, it will definitely become rough, but if you pay too much attention to the festival Frequent and lost essence.

The original meaning of "Wen Qi Binbin" is the quality requirements of people. However, this standard also extends to all aspects. The form of harmony and moderation of things and content is the ideal state of Confucian pursuit.

If you want to choose the utensil that best represents "elegant", I think most people will choose Song porcelain. The Song Dynasty was the era of porcelain and the era of high degree of integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. While Buddhism was constantly influenced by Confucianism and Taoism, Confucianism was actively absorbing Buddhist thoughts.

The rationality and calmness reflected in the Song Dynasty, which advocates the wen, is the premise of the Song Dynasty with elegance and light as the highest aesthetic standard. They oppose gorgeous and glittering, and they are never willing to be mediocre and kitsch.

This kind of elegant, such a farther is so meaningful, has a wide and far -reaching impact on the aesthetics of later generations. The proportion and scale of the utensils in this period are almost perfect, and the color tone is elegant and clean. There are almost no additional decoration. They all win with the shape. The natural beauty is the best embodiment of the Confucian "literary quality".

The ruling class of the Song Dynasty originally had the highest level of literati groups at that time. Although they were not craftsmen who directly manufactured utensils, they had its subjective aesthetic requirements as direct users of utensils. Therefore, the official kiln porcelain that represents the height of Song porcelain must be the ideal product produced under their influence.

The porcelain masters with rich experience and the pure green skills of furnace fire, together with these literati, pushed Song Dynasty porcelain to the height that it was difficult for future generations to reach, so that Song porcelain reached the realm of craftsmanship and aesthetics. And this light and elegant aesthetic has also affected the folk kiln porcelain under the effect of upward and downward effects.

If Song porcelain's "elegance" represents the highest aesthetic standards of ancient China, then the "silent" Japanese tea pottery represents the materialization of the spirit of Zen. Although the ancient Chinese pottery before the Tang and Song dynasties also had extremely high artistic value and height, it has always been a ring among the history of Chinese ceramics.

Porcelain not only finally replaces pottery in terms of its characteristics and practicality. The temperament of porcelain like jade in aesthetics has also become the aesthetic consensus of ancient Chinese society, and the simple beauty reflected by pottery has not become the aesthetic pursuit of ancient Chinese society. Even in the Ming Dynasty, a pottery -like purple sand device was developing in the direction of elegance in the direction of Confucian aesthetics.

In this mature porcelain era, except for some most basic daily miscellaneous, no one has developed the pottery in depth, and Tao has become a history for China at that time.
