Abstract

Taoism by Laozi and Zhuangzi is a metaphorical philosophy,which can only be perceived fundamentally on the basis of making use of the perfect pair of rational thought and poetical thought.Accordingly,the aesthetics by Laozi and Zhuangzi is poetical as well as primary,of which Nothingness,Obscurity,and Ontological and Chaos are the trend toward which the world's aesthetics develops.Its internal contradiction,which happens between an idea that a thing possesses everything if understood with the rule of Existence,and the other idea that the thing possesses nothing if understood with the rule of nothingness,may not only cause a paradox of these two rules,but also achieve the perfect fusion of these two rules.The aesthetics of Taoism by Laozi and Zhuangzi is an inexhaustible spring from which all the world's aesthetics can eternally draw its nutrition.
