Qi:the Vigor Element in Chinese Aesthetics

LI Tian-dao

Abstract

Influenced by the mysterious culture of the ancient book Zhouyi,qi is thought as the primary existence and the highest ontology,everything in universe being the product of it.Borrowed from this saying,Chinese aesthetics holds that the movement of yin and yang,which forms qi,motivates all things on earth,thus inspires the writers and leads to their aesthetic creation.In this sense,qi is the primary force to move the writers to create aesthetically.
