藝術，是人們為了更好地滿足自己對主觀缺憾的慰藉需求和情感器官的行為需求而創造出的壹種文化現象。藝術，是人們在日常生活中進行娛樂遊戲的壹種特殊方式，又是人們進行情感交流的壹種重要手段，屬於娛樂遊戲文化的範疇。藝術文化的本質特點，就是用語言創造出虛擬的人類現實生活。藝術發生的基礎是人類的語言，有效的藝術創造必須完全借助於語言。人類有什麽樣的語言形式，就會有什麽樣的藝術形式。不借助語言的所謂藝術創造，只能算是普通的遊戲創造。在娛樂功能的層面上，藝術與普通的娛樂遊戲具有同等重要的存在價值和發展價值。然而，藝術與普通的遊戲在文化形態上畢竟存在著本質上的差異，在文化的社會功能上也存在著明顯的差異，這種差異無論從理論上還是實踐上都有著被認真關註的必要。
什麽是藝術，藝術與人類的其他文化有什麽本質的不同？目前似乎誰也不能夠明確地給予回答。本文從人的主觀行為的功能範疇及其所創造出的文化構成入手，試圖回答這壹問題。
The essence of art through the medium of a particular symbol, such as painting, poetry, music, dance, fiction, drama, etc. to reflect and describe the relationship between things and their value to the movement and changes in processes, and thus people's feelings, knowledge, and will exchange , induction, probation and training.
Art, is that people in order to better meet their own needs on the subjective and emotional comfort of imperfection acts of organs needs to create a cultural phenomenon. Art, is that people in their daily lives for a special way of amusement games, but also for emotional people are an important means of communication, are fun games and cultural areas. The essential characteristics of art and culture, is to use language to create a virtual human in real life. Place is based on the art of human language, an effective means of artistic creation must be fully language. What kind of language the human form, there will be what kind of art form.
Without recourse to language, the so-called artistic creation, can only be regarded as normal to create the game. Functional level in the entertainment, art and general entertainment value of the game with equal importance and the development value. However, art and common cultural patterns on the game, after all, there are substantial differences, in terms of cultural social functions are also obvious differences, such differences in terms of both theory and in practice has been serious concern necessary.
What is art, art and human nature of other cultures, what is different? No one seems able to give a clear answer. In this paper, subjective behavior of functional areas and are created by the cultural composition of starting to try to answer this question.
然而，對於人類所有的娛樂遊戲活動，可以把其中的哪些明確地稱為藝術，又把其余的哪些明確地稱為不是藝術呢？目前似乎還沒有人能夠明確地回答。但是，問題還遠不止於此。如，對於畫畫這種娛樂遊戲活動，人們壹般都會認為能夠稱其為藝術。然而，是不是對於所有的畫畫活動都能夠稱為藝術呢？同樣都是畫畫，老畫家的繪畫就能夠稱為藝術，這似乎是沒有疑問的。隨便壹個小孩子的信手塗鴉能夠稱為藝術嗎，這似乎有很多人是不贊同的。只有當小孩子的“信手塗鴉”達到了“壹定水平”，人們才會稱其為藝術。那麽，小孩子的“信手塗鴉”的水平達到了什麽樣的程度才能夠稱為藝術呢？這又是壹個很難回答的問題。據說美國的壹只黑猩猩會“作畫”，人們給它紙和筆，它能夠“饒有興致”地作出很多“有意思”的“畫”來。如果把黑猩猩的“作畫”也稱為藝術，似乎有很多人更是不贊同了。那麽，我們在理論上應該怎樣區分藝術和非藝術呢？或者說，從理論上講，究竟什麽是藝術，藝術的本質究竟是什麽呢？
However, for all human recreational activities and games can be clear which of these is called art, which again the rest is not explicitly referred to as art? No one seems able to clearly answer. However, the problem is far more than that. For example, for drawing such a fun game activities, it is generally thought to call it art. However, it was not for all of the drawing activities that can be called art? Are in the same painting, the artist's painting on that can be called art, this seems to be no doubt. Random a child's doodles that can be called art do, it seems there are a lot of people disagree with.
Only when the child's "doodles" reached a "certain level", people would call it art. So, a child's "doodles" level reached before the extent of what can be called art? This in turn is a difficult question to answer. Said that the United States, a chimpanzee will "paint" and the people give it pen and paper, it could "with interest" to make a lot of "interesting" and "paint" to. If the chimpanzee's "painting" also known as the arts, it seems, many people are not in favor of. So, we should, in theory, how to distinguish between art and non-art? Or, in theory, what is art, and art the essence of what is it?
藝術屬於娛樂遊戲文化的範疇，是人們為了滿足自己對主觀缺憾的慰藉需求和情感器官的行為需求而創造出的壹種文化現象，這種文化現象的本質特點是用語言創造出虛擬的人類現實生活。藝術是人們進行情感和思想交流的壹種文化形式，人們進行情感和思想交流是以語言為基礎的，所以，藝術的發生基礎是人類的語言。在人們的藝術實踐中，藝術的發生通常總是要完全借助於人類語言，人類有什麽樣的語言形式出現，就會有什麽樣的藝術形式產生。人類語言有許多種形式，如口頭語言、文字語言、繪畫語言、形體語言、音樂語言及現代的電影電視語言等等。書法家梅湘涵指出藝術的發生在形式上就相應地會出現故事、小說、詩歌、繪畫、舞蹈、音樂、電影和電視劇等等藝術形態。沒有語言，就沒有藝術的發生基礎；如果人們相互間語言不通，就不能夠實現藝術的交流。
藝術用語言創造出虛幻的事件，讓他人通過對語言的理解來感覺虛幻事件的發生情景，在感受情景的過程中，人的相應的主觀缺憾就會得到適當的慰藉，人的情感器官就會產生出活躍、激烈的行為反應。人的主觀缺憾的慰藉及情感器官的行為反應，完全是以人在社會生活中對壹定客觀事物的主觀需求為根據的。所以，藝術所創造出的虛擬事件，就必須以人在社會生活中的主觀需求為根據，才能夠發揮出顯著的藝術效果。
有句成語叫“畫餅充饑”，是對藝術的最形象的詮釋：人由於饑餓想吃餅子，沒有餅子，只好畫壹張大大的餅子來自慰，饑餓的人看到畫中的這張餅子，主觀上能夠獲得些許的滿足感，情感器官也會產生出些許的喜悅。古人有賦：說梅止渴，稍蘇奔競之心；畫餅充饑，少謝騰驤之誌。這實際上是對藝術的發生原理和社會功能的最生動和精辟的闡述。
對於藝術，通常可以從三個層面來認識。 第壹是從精神層面，把藝術看作是文化的壹個領域或文化價值的壹種形態，把它與宗教、哲學、倫理等並列。第二是從活動過程的層面來認識藝術，認為藝術就是藝術家的自我表現、創造活動，或對現實的模仿活動。第三是從活動結果層面，認為藝術就是藝術品，強調藝術的客觀存在。壹般認為，藝術是人們把握現實世界的壹種方式，藝術活動是人們以直覺的、整體的方式把握客觀對象，並在此基礎上以象征性符號形式創造某種藝術形象的精神性實踐活動。它最終以藝術品的形式出現，這種藝術品既有藝術家對客觀世界的認識和反映，也有藝術家本人的情感、理想和價值觀等主體性因素，它是壹種精神產品。藝術與其它意識形態的區別在於它的審美價值，這是它的最主要、舞蹈藝術最基本的特征。藝術家通過藝術創作來表現和傳達自己的審美感受和審美理想，欣賞者通過藝術欣賞來獲得美感，並滿足自己的審美需要。唯美主義是審美的最完美發揮。除審美價值外，藝術還具有其它社會功能，如認識功能，教育和陶冶功能，娛樂功能等。其中藝術的社會功能是人們通過藝術活動而認識自然、認識社會、認識歷史、了解人生，它不同於科學的認識功能。藝術的教育功能是人們通過藝術活動，受到真、善、美的熏陶和感染，而潛移默化地引起思想感情、人生態度、價值觀念等的深刻變化，它不同於道德教育。藝術的娛樂觀念是人們通過藝術活動而滿足審美需要，獲得精神享受和審美愉悅，它不同於生理快感。
藝術是壹種特殊的社會意識形態和特殊的精神生產形態。通過生產實踐活動，反映從物質世界到精神世界，從生產關系到思想關系的人類的全面的社會生活，創造美的精神產品，滿足人類精神上的審美需要。通俗的說，藝術也就是人的知識、情感、理想、意念綜合心理活動的有機產物，是人們現實生活和精神世界的形象表現。
Arts and entertainment games are cultural aspects that people in order to satisfy their own shortcomings on the subjective feelings of comfort needs and the needs of organ acts to create a cultural phenomenon, the essence of this cultural phenomenon is characterized by the language to create a virtual human reality of life. Art is emotion and ideas people into a cultural form, it is carried out emotions and ideas are the basis of language, so the art is based on the occurrence of human language. In people's artistic practice, the art was usually occurs by means of human language to be completely human, what kind of language form,
What would have produced an art form. Of human language can take many forms, such as oral language, written language, painting and language, body language, music, film and television language and modern languages, etc.. Han pointed out that the calligrapher Messiaen took place in the form of art will appear on the corresponding stories, novels, poetry, painting, dance, music, movies and TV dramas, and so art form. There is no language, there is no basis for the occurrence of the arts; if the language barrier between people, will not be able to achieve and art exchanges.
Artistic language to create unreal event, to let others through the understanding of language and feel unreal incident scene, the emotional scenes of the process, people will be a corresponding subjective shortcoming proper comfort, the human organs will be emotional to produce active, intense behavioral responses. People's subjective comfort and emotional disorder in behavioral responses of organs is entirely based on people in the social life of a certain objective and subjective things, needs-based. Therefore, the art created by the virtual events, it must be people in social life, the subjective needs-based to be able to play a significant artistic effect.
There is a proverb called "castles in the air" is the most vivid expression of art interpretation: people want to eat because of hunger, pancake, no pancake, but to draw a big pancake from the comfort, hunger, people who see the paintings in this pancake, subjective able to obtain a modicum of satisfaction, feelings of organs would produce a modicum of joy. The ancients have fu: that plum thirst quencher, and a little Ben Jing Su heart; castles in the air, less Teng-Xiang Xie ambition. This is in fact the occurrence of art theory and social functions of the most vivid and incisive elaboration.
And on this basis, in order to create some form of symbolic symbolic image of the spiritual nature of art practice. It is the ultimate form of works of art, this work of art both artists and reflect understanding of the objective world, but also the artist's own emotions, ideals and values of the main factors, it is a spiritual product. The difference between art and other ideologies lies in its aesthetic value, which is its most important and most basic features of the art of dance. Artists through artistic creation to represent and communicate their aesthetic feelings and aesthetic ideals, who enjoy to get through the beauty of art appreciation, and to meet their aesthetic needs. Aestheticism
For the art, usually three levels to understand. The first is from the spiritual level, the arts as an area of culture or cultural value as a form of it with religious, philosophical, ethical and other tie. The second is an active process to understand the level of art, that art is the artist's self-expression, creative activities, or activities in imitation of reality. Third, the results from the activity level, that art is art, emphasizing the objective existence of the arts. Is generally believed that art is there a way to grasp the real world, the arts is a people to intuitive, holistic approach to grasp the objective object,
And on this basis, in order to create some form of symbolic symbolic image of the spiritual nature of art practice. It is the ultimate form of works of art, this work of art both artists and reflect understanding of the objective world, but also the artist's own emotions, ideals and values of the main factors, it is a spiritual product. The difference between art and other ideologies lies in its aesthetic value, which is its most important and most basic features of the art of dance. Artists through artistic creation to represent and communicate their aesthetic feelings and aesthetic ideals, who enjoy to get through the beauty of art appreciation, and to meet their aesthetic needs. Aestheticism
Art is a special kind of social ideology and special spiritual production patterns. Production practice, reflecting from the material world to the spiritual world, from the relations of production to the thinking of the overall relations between the social life of human beings to create the spirit of beauty products to meet the aesthetic needs of the human spirit. Popular to say that art is man's knowledge, emotions, ideals, ideas, the organic product of a comprehensive mental activity, is that people in real life and the spiritual world the image of the performance.
