Abstract

In this paper, Zhang Xu drunk in Cursive, for example, try from another angle view of Chinese calligraphy with the natural beauty of Fang Yi writing experience with wine, drunken leisure experience associated. This article will refer to Dewey's pragmatism aesthetic theory, in particular, "art is experience" with the spontaneity of artistic expression related to the discussion. This paper consists of four parts, the first part of the discussion of Zhang Xu's cursive writing drunk crazy and Fang Yi, the second part of the attempt to understand the four different levels, "crazy," "mad," "epilepsy," the art of experience, the third part will cover art, the relationship between spontaneity and inspiration, spontaneity and the fourth part will address the creation of leisure activities and artistic freedom. In addition, this paper will also present a number of Chinese aesthetics and the aesthetics of the common orientation of pragmatism. On the basis of the example of "Zhang Xu calligraphying in drunkenness", this paper attempts to examine the relationship between spontaneous aesthetic experience in Chinese calligraphy and leisure experience of everyday life, especially associated with wine and drunkenness; as the core of the aesthetic thought of John Dewey exists in the emphasis of continuity between practical life and art, between daily experience and aesthetic experience, that is why the paper also tries to put into light the aesthetic thought of John Dewey, mainly as formulated in his work Art as Experience. This paper undertakes this study through four main sections: the first one is centered on drunkenness and spontaneous execution in "Zhang Xu's calligraphy; the second part focuses on the understanding of" mad, madness, unreasonability "in artistic experience in several dimensions; the third part discusses spontaneity and inspiration; and the last part examines the relationship between spontaneousness, leisure activity, and freedom in artistic creation. The paper thus stresses several convergences between Chinese aesthetic thought and pragmatic aesthetics
