The Influence of Eastern Aesthetics on Artistic Creation: The Thought of ‘Harmony between Man and Nature’ and Intercultural Dialogue

This study explores the profound influence of the traditional Eastern philosophical concept of 'Harmony Between Man and Nature' on artistic creation, spanning classical Chinese art forms to contemporary cross-cultural practices. Through case studies of traditional Chinese landscape painting and garden art, the research highlights key aesthetic expressions, such as scattered perspective, blank-leaving techniques, and the interplay of virtuality-reality and static-dynamic elements, which embody the harmonious integration of human and natural realms. The study examines the modern reinterpretation of this philosophy in ecological art. Demonstrating its relevance in addressing global environmental crises and fostering intercultural dialogue.
