Zhang, Wentian ; Wang Fuquan. Wangerde jie shao [ID D12195]. [Introducing Oscar Wilde].
Zhou Xiaoyi : Zhang Wentian, an early important critic in Wilde studies, made a similar observation as Lu Xun on Wilde's aesthetic mode of being. He noted that Wilde "devoted his whole life to art, to the religion of beauty". He argues that Wilde did not merely advance an artistic principle, but also put his principle to practice. He practiced his aestheticism in everyday life soon after he graduated from Oxford : "He wears a velvet coat, a loose shirt with a turn-down collar, and a tie of some unusual shade tied in a lavalliere knot. He propagated his aestheticism everywhere, with a sunflower or a lily in hand. How enthusiastic he is ! How full-hearted, how brave !" Here Zhang also related Wilde's aesthetic principle to his eccentric lifestyle, and offered a vivid picture of Wilde as an artist. In his depiction, this artist, reinforced by his personal charm and mysterious character, worships art and condemns social reality.
