Abstract

The concept of poetic history distinguishes the two elements of existence in the tradition: history and art. Through the analysis of philosophers and poets, the history that represents the reality and the art which represents generation are finally integrated into the process of spiritual life. As two aspects of art as a psychic mode of being, the aesthetic activity which inclines to form is not only closely related to the emotional experience of living; it even refers to logic itself. On the other hand, aesthetics is often seen as the result of reflective reason, the knowledge of aesthetic activity’s self-adjustment. Finally, aesthetic activity and aesthetics are historicized into human speech in the direction of artistic value, and their academic discipline are logic-history (luojilishixue) and world relational aesthetics (Shijie guanxi meixue). Through the medium of relations, people can pay tribute to the glory in the presence of the holy, which is the common meaning of history and art.
