The Aesthetics Meaning of Wang Bi's "Non-being"

The essence of Wang Bi's philosophy is non-being. The meaning of non-being makes the awakening of man possible, and furthermore, makes the awakening of literature and arts possible. Mood, as a core concept in Chinese aesthetics, has transcendence from concrete to abstract, from existence to non-existence and from finite to infinite. It also has a character of non-being and there must be an inner connection between them. The experience of non-being, as part of Wang's philosophy, has inner influence on the experience of beauty.
