Relation Between Philosophers' Lust Ideology and Their Artistic Mentality

To study the desire and affection together is an improtant feature of the ancient Chinese psychology. In Song and Ming Dynasties, this question was ever put in the unprecedentedly important position. Reason and desire are basic categories in ethics. The conservation and limitation of ethics are in fact obstacles of literature. Zhu Xi was not content whth the fact that some ethicians only talked about temperament rather than affection. He did a lot of af-forts to discuss affection and desire. He also divided the disires into two main parts:the good desires and the evil desires. He was against that the two Mr. Cheng denied both of them. This leaves some room for the existence of people' s desires. Under the strict restriction of ethics,this is some rare space,Zhu Xi denied that the love songs in the Book of Odes had bad influence on politics. This is one of Zhu Xi's contributions. Meanwhile, the paper denies the ex-plainations of Cheng Yi and it had paved a new way for literature in future.
