Because the Taoist aesthetics thinking which relies on is that the cosmos is the whole procedure of life, also life is the holographic epitome of the universe. "Life" is the core of this proof, including the" cosmology" and the "theory of human nature". All is trying to reveal beauty and art thoughts contains in .The introduction section first sorted the status, and analyzed the center problems on research.

In particular, it separated the "pedantic" and the "Tao", so as to go further into the Taoist theory of "Tao". Specifically it seized the common features, generativeness and metaphor characters in the Taoist in order to discuss the "Tao". Sectionâ…¡, it made detailed comparison between the "cosmology" which stared form the "Tao" and the western cosmology's "generativeness of substance", projecting the close relation between the cosmology and human life.

The discussion about the "noble and integrity" which started from the "noble" and the "integrity", had further explained about the esthetic ideal:"Article structure always born before literary works". In the elaboration "sympathetic between confidants", it compared with the Western reader's theory, explained the original ideas regarded to the question.The conclusion part had explained as a whole the philosophy of life esthetics characteristic which the "cosmology", the "life theory", the "art theory" has. And it located the as a book whose interpretation is about the life as well as the beauty itself, thus it can narrate and comment to the paper's writing goal and the overall appearance.
