LIU Shun
[Abstract]Celadon Era: On the Plain Aesthetics of Song and Yuan Culture and Art takes the theory ofplainness in Song and Yuan culture and art as its research subject, and endeavors to verify the coreproposition that "plainness is not only an artistic spirit but also a value". oriented toward "scholarshipwith ideological depth", this work aims to expound the shaping effect of ideology and culture on theformation of an aesthetic style. Adopting a research approach that integrates historical context andtheoretical logic, it provides a systematic and academically rigorous explanation for the profoundconnotation of "plainness". While clearly combing the long evolutionary context of "plainness",Professor Hou Yan spans diverse artistic disciplines and demonstrates her professional researchcapacity. Meanwhile, the limitations in research vision and methods reflected in the book also carrycertain reference significance for contemporary classical literature studies.
