Abstract:
Cohesive moral ranks among the leading contents of Confucian aesthetic theory. The theory of cohesive mind was the important cultural and psychological basis for the birth of cohesive moral. Cohesive moral symbolized the selfconsciousness of Chinese morality in the PreQin days and represented the fruit of subjective appreciating beauty in the day. In terms of Allan Kaersong’s theory of suitability of appreciating natural beauty, we discover that Chinese classical appreciation of natural beauty represented by Confucian view of cohesive moral is actually a “nonsuitable” appreciation of natural beauty, which substitutes subjective expression of morality and emotion for appreciation of beauty by nature itself.
