Analysis on the landsense creation of Chinese classical poetry and mountains-and-waters painting based on landsenses ecology

ABSTRACT

Inspired by Chinese traditional art forms and architectural thoughts, landscape ecology or landsenseology emphasizes the integration of human physical senses, psychological perceptions and sustainable development concept into the regional ecol-environmental research and planning-construction-management, which is an inheritance and development to ancient Chinese simple ecological ideas and sustainable development consciousness. The multiscale of spatiotemporal combination is one of the principles of landsense creation, which means that people’s senses and perceptions at different times and different places can be integrated into a single landsense for a landsense creation. The bidirection of vision manifestation and the vein-compliance of orientation are the other two main principles of landsense creation. As traditional Chinese art creations, poetry, calligraphy and painting possess the same origin, poetry, calligraphy and painting reproduce their creators’ perceptions of ecosystems and also present their creators’ visions for a better living environment, which reflects people’s simple ecological ideas and sustainable development consciousness at that time. Zhihuan Wang is a famous poet in the Chinese Tang Dynasty. The poem, On the Stork Tower, is one of his representative works. This poem is widely loved by people and has been widely spread in China. Based on the theory and methodology of landsenses ecology or landsenseology, this paper analyzes the creation method, lofty artistic conception and good vision of the poem, which provides an effective approach or methodology for art appreciation. The analysis framework formed with this approach is of enlightening significance for the theoretical researches and practices of eco-environmental art creation, eco-environment construction and sustainable development.
