Beauty and art are fascinating issues that have evolved from an unclear primitive consciousness to a modern disciplinary exploration and practice in separate categories, and from mixing and separating them from practicality to a profound involvement in the daily lives of contemporary people. In this section, Semiotic Aesthetics, Zhao Yiheng presents a new perspective on the intersection of semiotics and aesthetics and clarifies the signifying logic of art texts from the perspective of sign categories. Zhang Bi discusses different ways of interpreting artistic activities in Marxist semiotic aesthetics. Sun Jinyan analyses the aesthetic experience of contemporary digital media, and Yuan Deyu discusses the poetic and aesthetic possibilities of the biological world in the context of biosemiotics.
In the Chinese cultural tradition, the relationship between beauty, art and signs has broad and deep significance. In the section The Chinese Semiotic Tradition, Xie Qingguo and Cao Shuyuan discuss the relationship between Chinese ritual and music signs and Chinese values and forms of interaction. Wei Yunjie analyses the forms of the signifying mechanisms in communication in pre-Qin banquet music. Yu Hualong examines literary concepts in Wen Xin Diao Long from the perspective of meta-language, and Zhao Ruirui analyses the role of real and blank signs in the process of meaning generation in artistic texts.
In sections of General Narratology and Semiotics of Communication, several scholars discuss the narratives and signification of different media, such as dreams, images, and museum exhibition. In the section Theory and Application, scholars discuss linguistic semiology, literary semiotics and the semiotics of Jingshen, including Nie Zhiping, Li Yuping and Lv Hongzhou. In the Spring issue, we also present a report on the development of semiotics in China in 2022, compiling a collection of important treatises and conferences over the past year.
