- Abstract
The character architecture and the spatial structure of Chinese characters’ strokes in the process of Libian (variations on the clerical script) displays certain aesthetic characteristics. This paper aims to investigate the aesthetic embodiment of Chinese characters in the process of their evolution. Based on the theory of humanized natural aesthetics, this paper explores the aesthetic significance of the Chinese characters as a result of the interaction between natural society and human aesthetic consciousness, as reflected in the changes of the character “silk” in different periods through comparative analysis. The results reveal that the development of the oracle bone script from the budding stage of the script is a copy of the ‘species scale’, and then the development of the script strokes and spatial structure is an artificial presentation of the aesthetic consciousness of the ‘inherent scale’ in the changes of the Chinese characters. In this way, the human subject’s consciousness has taken on a unique aesthetic value in the evolution of Chinese characters.
