Abstract:
Abstract Inspired by the understanding of curriculum as aesthetic text, study on the aesthetics of curriculum has attracted more and more interests in Taiwan. Based on the cultural lens of Taoism, this article aims to explore the theory and implementation of aesthetics of curriculum in a case study. The study found the aesthetics of Taoism in the curriculum can be understood from the aesthetics of relation, and the aesthetics of simplicity and plainness, which lead to the reconstruction of the way of “Being” in education. The aesthetics of curriculum from a Taoist perspective sheds important light on educational reform. In the era of globalization, we should reconsider the implications of curriculum by looking back on and reviving our culture.

Abstract:
Abstract Chinese aesthetics mainly derives from Confucianism and Taoism. This essay attempts to revisit the main theories that run through Confucian and Taoist aesthetics in order to make them comprehensible within a broader global context. Aesthetics in Confucianism pertains to fields as various as literature, art, music and the natural environment. It holds the idea of ren 仁 (human-heartedness) as the essential attribute of beauty. In comparison, Taoist aesthetics emphasizes the centrality of tao 道 (way), which transpires through naturalness, and, as such, considers natural forms to offer the highest degree of beauty. In order to understand variations of representation and interpretation in Confucian and Taoist aesthetics, the essay discusses accordingly the three fundamentals of Chinese aesthetics: beauty, feeling of beauty, and artistic image. This comparative study will hopefully bring to light differences and similarities between two traditions, which may also resonate within the wider context of modern global aesthetics.

Abstract:
AbstractThis study argues for a frame semantic approach to the treatment of Taoist terms, which are Chinese culture-specific. It takes three Taoist aesthetic terms 虚(xu), 无(wu) and 静(jing) as a case study to explore how Chinese-English dictionaries can make use of semantic frames in the treatment of Taoist terms. As the study shows, a Taoist-aesthetics frame can be constructed in comparison with the Aestheticsframe in FrameNet. When treating Taoist terms, the core frame element “Entity” facilitates the meaning explanation by making the terms more intelligible. The non-core frame element “Circumstances” should be highlighted as it helps the dictionary to provide a more accurate definition of Taoist terms.

Abstract:
Analysis of Chinese landscape design offered a challenge to test the concepts of environmental aesthetics developed in the West. With comparative approach we improved our understanding of art and environment, and of different strategies (inspired by Taoist, and/or Buddhist concepts) in designing forms of Chinese gardens. In order to describe the "hidden" symbohsm of Chinese landscape design we applied various concepts and metaphors: completeness, large and small, mirror and mirroring, garden as entrance and separate reality, disclosure and concealment, and returning to the source.

Abstract:
Very little is known of the similarities shared by the Great Tao as conceived in the immortal Taoist canon, the Tao-te ching, and the nature of God and the teachings of God's messengers as expounded by Bahá’u’lláh and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. This article focuses on the Great Tao of the ancient Chinese people, a Tao whose eternal spirit has seeped into the very heart of Chinese tradition, culture, and way of life for centuries, and which is manifest in various aspects of Chinese thought and life as well as in the more apparent aesthetics of calligraphy, painting, and poetry. This article compares the similarities of the spiritual insights of the Tao-te ching with that of other major religions, notably the Bahá’í Faith, and argues that no understanding of the Chinese mind and spirit can be complete without a perusal of some of the main spiritual tenets of this imperishable canon. It must be noted that this article is concerned with the original philosophy of Tao and not with what is today popularly known as the "Taoist religion," an invention only loosely connected with the spiritual insights of the Tao-te ching.

Abstract:
Since the expansion of Japanese comic books throughout western countries, the so-called “manga style” has get attention from audiences and theorists. But how can we identify such Japaneseness? Trying to fulfill readers` interests, books have been published under the how-to-draw-manga label, usually highlighting the visual composition of characters, from clothes to facial expressions to hairstyle. From the academic perspective, particularities of page layout have been also considered since Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle`s idea of tabularity. Such structuralist perspective is also echoed by contemporary scholars such as Benoît Peeters and Thierry Groensteen. Investigations on what is called the “grammar of mangas” were also proposed by Neil Cohn or Scott McCloud (or at least based on his contributions). But what are they referring to by “manga”? Artists from all around the world translate mangas into transnational experiences. This study proposes a wider understanding of the manga narrative style and its particular aesthetic influence on readers. The study focuses on the Asian philosophies of Tao and Buddhism, identifying how their ideals are articulated to promote reader’s immersion in the narrative. The article investigates the visual representations of the Taoist idea of vacuum and the Zen idea of trivia, which characterize the visual and narrative fluidity of manga – especially those whose stories are based on everyday life.

Full text
Abstract:
Dancing Brush video installation is dedicated to legendary Taiwanese dancer Tsai Jui-Yue (1921-2005) in the memory of her suffering, creativity and faith in life. This work reveals the true meaning of Chinese scroll paintings as an infinity of time and space. It draws on the notion of mobility as expounded in the I Ching or Book of Changes. Dancing Brush creates a modern cityscape where the principal of Taoism, ancient Chinese landscape painting, and calligraphy meet new media aesthetics. The focus of this thesis is to reassess media arts practice and aesthetics via the traditions of Chinese Taoist aesthetics. The research was conducted in three dimensions: ??non-linear aesthetics?? in Chinese arts as the new media art form, ??unity of emptiness and fullness?? as the animation principle, and ??subtraction aesthetics?? as the principle of creativity. I propose Dancing Brush video installation as a presentation of ??aesthetics of wandering contemplation??. The work suggests a feature of Chinese moving image aesthetics as a ??spatial montage?? form of media arts. I applied the Taoist ??decreative-creative process?? as the creative method in which the ??decreative?? process leads to the ??creative??. The ??decreative-creative process?? is based on the Taoist teachings of zi-ran (spontaneity) and wu-wei (non-action). I interpret it as ??subtraction aesthetics: less is more??. The process is to eliminate interferences with restricted narrative format and visual effects, then to receive the immediate presentation of things as pure materials. Through the subtracting process, it gains not less but more. Kong Bai (emptiness or formless) in Chinese art is the result of subtraction aesthetics. It reveals the creative principle derived from the Taoist idea of ??usefulness of useless??. The ??subtracting process?? in creating animation is to bring ??unknown?? to life. The ??image beyond image?? is the product of ??unity of emptiness and full?? where Chinese artistic realm yi-jing is created.

Fu-Lu, one of the Chinese culture specific witchcrafts, not only symbolizes the sacredness as well as holy spirits but also implies the indescribable Metaphysics. Over thousands of years being widely used by Taoist priests, Fu-Lu has had become a system of symbolic conventions. As the fundamental ground of the Fu-Lu system is the religious faith, it is believed that Fu-Lu can be used to cure the illnesses, to pray for good fortunes as well as wealth, to tranquilize disasters, and to dissolve malignant deities. Therefore, Fu-Lu is apparently a multifarious and mysterious symbolic convention system of Taoism. This symbolic convention system is mainly expressed through the calligraphy and the icon, implying strong beliefs of Taoism and carrying mysterious, unexplored, unknown and Metaphysical significations. Through investigating the icons and symbols of Fu-Lu, this paper explores the multifaceted aspects of the compositions of the Chinese Ink Paintings. Based on a series of artistic theories, I emphasize the notions, the conception, the styles and the techniques of creations of the Chinese Ink Paintings. Moreover, I reflect upon our own Taiwanese indigenous culture and its compatibility with the ideological trend worldwide on the basis of the three notions of Fu-Lu—the Sacredness of the Calligraphy, the Symbolism of the Icons, and the Psychic Telesthesia of the ritual of Fu-Lu. This paper attempts to reconstruct the new convention of messages from the descending Taiwanese indigenous culture. Furthermore, I make an effort to apply various media from the ink painting, water color painting, glue painting, to crayon painting as experimental techniques of expressions in order to develop a series of pleasurable, readable and absorbing creations of the Fu-Lu aesthetics.

Environmental pollution is the most serious problem among all other kinds of pollution nowadays. Hence, we should face this problem and deal with it. Some experts should think about the relationship between the human and the environment, which concerns discussing environmentalology and ecology. Ecological Aesthetics contains some new points that study the aesthetic significance between ecosystem and ecological balance. The theories of Ecological Aesthetics focus on nature and human lives and they possess a keen relationship to Taoism. In comparison with Ecological Aesthetics and the theory of Taoism through its doctrinal contexts has been fully discussed. To preserve the only mother earth we live on is now the major issue for all human kind nowadays. It's also our responsibility to protect it from disastrous pollution.
