Abstract:

The word "pure land" carries dual meanings in religious and non-religious contexts, representing a microcosm of Soetsu Yanagi's incorporation of religious ideals into aesthetics. When positioned within a pure land context, one experiences purified aesthetic pleasure. The rationale of Yanagi's "pure land" aesthetics primarily encompasses three dimensions: intuitive viewing, the resonance between internal and external forces, and the transformation from "faith" to "beauty." These principles offer valuable implications for establishing the discursive independence of Chinese folk art aesthetics, refining approaches to Chinese folk art appreciation, articulating the folk character of Chinese folk art, and exploring its aesthetic educational value. However, the limitations and potentially inappropriate aspects of Yanagi's framework should be critically assessed and avoided in contemporary applications.
