‘삼원(三遠)’에서 ‘유심(遊心)’으로: <산하고인>(山河故人) 화면 비율 변화 속의 전통 미학적 구축에 관한 연구 = From ‘Sanyuan’ to ‘Youxin’: On the Traditional Aesthetic Construction in the Aspect Ratio Transformations of Mountains May Depart

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study argues that the tripartite aspect ratio transformation (1.33:1 → 1.85:1 → 2.39:1) in Jia Zhangke's Mountains May Depart is not merely a formal device, but a core mechanism for creatively reinterpreting traditional Chinese aesthetics in modern cinematic language. Adopting Northern Song Dynasty painter Guo Xi's Sanyuan (Three Distances) theory and Zhuangzi's philosophy of youxin (wandering mind) as its analytical framework, this paper first analyzes how the progressive expansion of the aspect ratio systematically embodies the spatial aesthetics of Sanyuan (High, Deep, and Level Distance). It further demonstrates that this visual strategy ultimately functions as a pathway, guiding the audience from physical spectatorship to a state of spiritual roaming that transcends time and space—an experience of youxin. By providing a profound aesthetic interpretation of a technical element, this research fills a gap in existing scholarship and holds academic significance for illuminating how East Asian cinema can construct a unique aesthetic system rooted in its own cultural traditions.
