Confucius's Thought of Natural Beauty:What Is It and Why Is It So?

In the Analects Confucius did not publicly introduce a Confucian cohesive-moral view of natural beauty though he might hold the Confucian view of cohesive moral.Moreover,he showed a view of natural beauty in his discussions in different parts of the book,but he did not openly declaim a cohesive-moral view,although his aesthetic theory was generally regarded as ethical aesthetics.Therefore,Confucius stood alone with his theory of natural beauty,which embodies his insights into the relationship between men and nature and beauty appreciation.
