Abstract

Traditional Chinese aesthetics concerning all arts primarily comes from philosophical ideas. This paper investigates aesthetic approaches and values related to Chinese arts in general and Kunju in particular. The dynamic process is examined from the perspectives of aesthetic cognition, sense of beauty, and qiyun and yijing. Chinese aesthetic approach to arts features a holistic syncretic process, highlighting joy, harmony, and dynamic interactions. This approach employs a synthesis of idea, including form and expression, emotion and symbolism. Arts are expressed symbolically and metaphorically by artists. These symbolic representations solicit aesthetic responses from viewers who experience a holistic dynamic process. The syncretic process is a key aesthetic approach to all Chinese arts.
