Abstract

One of essential ways for an in-depth investigation into traditional Chinese artistic theory is by conducting researches on cultural sources from angle of thinking mode,which is,so to speak,characterized by introversive thinking as its general tendency in philosophical thoughts typical of either Confucianism or Taoism or Buddhism.The introversive nature of traditional Chinese thinking mode is directly originated from traditional Chinese philosophical thought of the way of Heaven at unity with course of Man's affairs,with traditional Chinese theory of Yin and Yang as its ultimate source.Introversive thinking has exerted profound and far-reaching influences upon traditional Chinese artistic theory,hence its clear-cut subject spirit.
