The Chinese Traditional Touch-off Point of Mood and Content ——On "xing" (inspiration) in appreciation

The Chinese traditional cultural psychology and thinking is characterized by intuition and sensibility. Xing as a touch-of point in bridging mood and content and merging subject and object in literary appreciation can best of all reflect such a feature of Chinese traditional culture. The tradition of xing is to advocate the liberty of the interpretation so as to bring into full play the activeness of the appreciators.
