The historical encounter of Buddhism Prajna and Chinese Esthetics was the crucial point that caused the Chinese Esthetic System a profound turn in Wei-Jin era. Originally with unique and various esthetical implication, Prajna categories of this era rooted in Indian religion, especially Mahayana Prajna. On the process of the infiltrating in China and syncretizing with Chinese esthetics, its episteme and criterion structure were orientalized; on the other hand all these also assimilated into Chinese Esthetics, and brought profound affection. Prominently the foundation of the Madhyamika Prajna System indicates the ultimate correspondence between Madhyamika Prajna System and Chinese Esthetics. The internal esthetical implication and claim took a new look. And Chinese Esthetics also laid a stable structural foundation for the theoretical establishment and development with new mode of thinking and valuable structure by the introjection of "Pratipad" , "Esthetics" and "Visdotblw" .We managed to point out the orientalized and assimilated historical process by the study of their encounter, intercourse, combination and unification. The cultural origin and esthetical significance composed the logical elements with which to recur the historical encounter of Pratipad and New Taoism, and project their respective esthetical character and inherent inconsistency. We emphasize the intercourse between Pratipad that came on to in Wei-Jin era and Buddhist and metaphysics esthetics on the basis of Pratipad category, just for the lasting appeal and predilection of the latter could set off the existent significance of Madhyamika Prajna System. Here we do a summarize intent upon illuminating no other than the intercourse with which to lead Chinese Esthetics to a bran-new world. So this was a prominent section for Chinese Esthetics. Prajna Esthetics stimulated, promoted and perfected the structure criterion and mechanism of Chinese Esthetics with its unique and various significance, particular and stretch elucidatory capacity.Moreover Prajna sutra as a special cultural carrier upgraded the broad-mind and transcendence of Chinese Esthetics with its interpretation and impelling power. The "being noumenon or function" of Madhyamika Prajna System transformed the systematical structure and practical mode of Chinese Esthetics into a "being thing or midst" and amalgamation visdothlw. On inheriting tradition vim of thinking much of life and intensifying Enlightenment interest with "Sacute vimutti" , esthetical visdotblw conducted, and life visdotblw appreciated. And Chinese Esthetics made for an esthetical self-conscious era.
