Because TAO is the origin of ancient philosophy, it is the most abstract conception. XIANG is the most reality one. So QI make a very important effection on Chinese ancient aesthetics. On the other hand, QI itself has many characters common with Chinese ancient aesthetics, such as emphasizing life; purchasing trancedence toward reality and making form and image.
