Highlighted Works of Aesthetics

by ZONG BAI HUA

In the few writings of Zong Baihua in his life, this book Highlighted Works of Aesthetics almost brings together all the most essential writings of aesthetics in his life. It is also the only work of aesthetics in his life. The republication basically keeps the original style of the book except that several photos are included and misprints have been corrected. In the noises of the increasingly powerful modern machines, we can no longer hear the light footsteps of such a great master who was born from traditional culture and filled with the spirituality of art and poetry, and who had a mastery of the Spirit of Chinese Aesthetics. However, in the increasingly tense world of alienation, isnt it a worldwide problem that modern people have to pay attention to how to keep the poetic humanity and life longing? This book can give us inspiration to this regard.

Reviews

[Yuran]

很难说有多强的启发性，以至于带着写读书笔记的心态读了一半也没有找到合适的切入点，不免懊丧。

[Zhixuan Zhang]

美学经典之作，除了后半段大谈特谈康德美学的部分有点晦涩，其余篇幅都很友好。

[Lucky]

并非严谨的系统性理论著作，而是一本散文集，所以内容上蛮多重复且偏向于从感受性上出发，但作为对中国古代艺术的回顾和赏析，偶尔拿出一篇来读一读还是不错的。
