论"阴阳两仪"思想范式的美学意涵

在东方文化和美学观念中,“阴阳两仪”是一个极其重要的理论范畴和文化命题。它所反映的不仅仅是一种东方式、中国式的宇宙观念和人生哲学,而且也反映了一种东方式、中国式的美学思想范式。其美学意涵主要有四:一是“耦两”美观念,即强调在相反相对的两种矛盾因素之间思考美、创造美;二是“中和”美意识,即讲究在两两相对的矛盾因素之间实现均衡持中、不偏不倚的和谐之美。其核心范畴是“中”。三是“刚柔”美理想,既讲究阳刚与阴柔这两种审美理想之间的相成相济,又有偏重阴柔之美的趋向。四是“虚实”美境界,在阴与虚、阳与实的对应中,既强调虚与实之间的互用相生,又讲究以虚为体、以实为用,从而推动“意境”美学理论走向成熟。
