A Study of the Aesthetic Thought and Application of "Virtual & Real" in Chinese Ink Animation from Strolling in Aesthetics ——A Case Study of Feelings of Mountains and Waters
Abstract
Zong Baihua’s Strolling in Aesthetics is known as a textbook of contemporary Chinese aesthetic theory, while "virtual & real", as an important chapter in this book, is the core of Chinese traditional aesthetics. Its connotation of simple and natural aesthetic meaning has been applied in many fields with the rise of contemporary traditional art. The early ink animation Feelings of Mountains and Waters integrated this aesthetic conception deep into the film. In this paper, based on the analysis of Feelings of Mountains and Waters, a masterpiece of Chinese ink animation, and combined with the film, an in-depth analysis was carried out on the basic theoretical viewpoints in the "Virtual & Real in Chinese Artistic Expression" section in Strolling in Aesthetics. Then a summary was made on the presentation of "virtual & real" in Chinese ink animation, and a discussion was conducted on its internal association and application value with Chinese ink animation, so as to provide reference for the development of Chinese ink animation in the new era.References
