Abstract

Abstract François Jullien advocates revealing the unique value of ancient Chinese thought based on intelligibility (intelligibilité) between Chinese and Western cultures. First, by exploring ancient Chinese poetry, literati painting, and calligraphy, he views the “blandness” of traditional Chinese art as a virtue, being both an aesthetic criterion and sage wisdom. Second, he highlights the effect of manifesting shi (propensity) through forms and unifying shi with the spirit in Chinese literature and art, where shi is presented through the tension between empty and full and infinite expressiveness can be achieved through limited forms in artworks. Finally, he affirms the dialectical relationship between presence and absence in Chinese art, which can effectively enhance artistic expression. Despite some misinterpretations, Jullien presents his creative ideas from the perspective of the “other,” or the outside (dehors). He observes Chinese artistic thought from a Western perspective, paying particular attention to the consciousness of life, and attempting to incorporate Chinese artistic ideas into a metaphysical system. These efforts are highly inspiring to Chinese scholars.
解读与构建:弗朗索瓦-朱利安的中国艺术观
摘要 弗朗索瓦-朱利安主张以中西文化的可理解性(intelligibilité)为基础,揭示中国古代思想的独特价值。首先,他通过对中国古代诗歌、文人画和书法的探讨,将中国传统艺术的 "平淡 "视为一种美德,既是审美标准,也是圣贤智慧。其次,他强调了中国文学艺术中通过形式表现 "士"(倾向)以及 "士 "与 "精神 "统一的效果,"士 "通过空与满之间的张力得以呈现,而艺术作品中有限的形式可以实现无限的表现力。最后,他肯定了中国艺术中 "有 "与 "无 "的辩证关系,这可以有效提升艺术表现力。尽管存在一些误读,但朱利安还是从 "他者 "或外部(dehors)的角度提出了自己的创作理念。他以西方视角观察中国艺术思想,尤其关注生命意识,并试图将中国艺术思想纳入形而上学体系。这些努力对中国学者有很大启发。
