Abstract:This paper tries to examine Wang Guowei’s “guan” from generating background, emerging condition, its relation to genius viewpoint and “jingjie” to further deepen the understanding of “guan”. Wang Guowei’s “guan” not only took China’s ancient poems as critical materials which were rooted in Chinese ancient cultural discussion tradition but also theoretically stood on Aesthetic Epistemology of Floris Schopenhauer in the western philosophic world, whose two theory traditions have deep cultural background difference which is intensively embodied in the generating condition of aesthetic standard and the theoretical link between genius viewpoint and “jingjie” theory. This article also reveals that Wang Guowei took ’jingjie’ as art ontology of ci, i.e. the author recognized the general essence of the world and human life by aesthetic intuition and then used ci to express it, so this ci has the meaning of “jingjie”.
