Explored the dependence of Russian culture on Byzantine spiritual culture during the 10th to 14th centuries, as well as its gradual process of gaining independence. It is particularly pointed out that the peak of Russian culture in the 14th century was related to the acceptance of Byzantine meditation. Meditation not only influenced medieval Russian culture, but its worldview also had a profound impact on subsequent cultural development. The core of meditation is the "complete transformation" of human beings, which includes three stages: realizing imperfection, concentrating the mind, and creating perfection. This process requires individuals to achieve transformation from the inside out, ultimately becoming the center of the world's transformation. These principles of meditation were strengthened in Russian culture and reflected in philosophy and artistic culture in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The prosperity of 14th century Russian icon painting art is closely related to quietism, and the works of Fyodor Grek embody this new worldview. The characters in his icon paintings and murals are depicted as extremely spiritualized, surrounded by non earthly radiance, exhibiting the 'radiance of He Bo'. However, the relationship between people and the 'light of Tabor' in Feofan's works is' disjointed ', which may be related to his Greek heritage and cultural background. Compared with the static and indifferent impression of Byzantine icon paintings, Feofan's works showcase the saints transcending the imperfections of the world in mysterious passion, breaking through the boundaries of heaven and earth. But the ultimate union between the divine and the secular has not been recognized by Feofan, and God remains an unattainable judge and ruler.
In the third chapter of the paper, the influence of the tradition of quietism in Russian culture on contemporary artists, particularly Andrei Tarkovsky's film works, is explored. In Tarkovsky's film 'The Passion of Andrei', the tradition of quietism is uniquely interpreted, which is different from the dogmatic tradition and more in line with the worldview of the 20th century. In the film, the relationship between humans and perfect existence is redefined, no longer through union with God, but through a transformation within oneself from the relative center of the world to the absolute center, thus achieving perfection.
