As a kind of cultural phenomena,Zhangzi philosophy of contentment with simple things, retiring from the world and living as a recluse and also indifference to fame or gain had worked upon philosophic thinking and cultural behavior stressed and valued for eremites in Wei, Jin, Nan and South dynasties, so that it became an origination for formation of advocated lofty personalities without greed, behavior with freedom and easiness and graceful presence of Wei, Jin, Nan and South dynasties after metaphysics sprang up. So the landscape culture consciousness of persons in Wei and Jin Dynasties was formed from these phenomena. The influences of Zhuangzi theory on thought and behavior of scholar-bureaucrats in Wei, Jin, South and North Dynasties can be found from the view of literature coming up in which generation of landscape culture in Wei, Jin, South and North Dynasties was studied. In bathing of metaphysics in Zhangzi theory, the spirit, culture consciousness, aesthetic taste and spice of life of scholar-bureaucrats in Wei, Jin, South and North Dynasties all changed unprecedentedly. Investigating the advocating spirit of Zhuangzi literature from the view of sensing opus, the soul world of Zhuangzi can be pierced, and profound effect of Zhuangzi on poetic environment and taste of landscape literature can be sensed.The elites in Wei, Jin, Nan and South dynasties inherited aesthetic appreciation means of "life and materialization" in Zhuangzi spirit, while saturating this aesthetic sense for scenery into the scenic culture at that time, infusing personality ideal into natural scenic fields, discovering the true image of universe in the natural scenery and finding ideal methods of resignation and place of natural spirit cultivation. So the lofty thought was obtained from well-cultured aesthetic mentality of less greed, soothing spirit, richness in spirit, taking the matter as a course, making non-action effective and leaving space for thinking, while examing the nature with detaching aesthetic appreciation mode, treating the whole world with spirit of not seeking fame and wealth and tolerating the world, so as to obtain ideal personality mind and big-hearted aesthetic appreciation, while making the landscape poems of Wei, Jin, Nan and South dynasties achieve paramount state.Being enamoured of humanistic spirit of Chinese ancient literature, but also tropism pursue. When Zhunagzi paid more attention to nature and eulogized nature, what he sought was symbol of ideal personality, parallelism of life purport, space of spirit wandering and home and destination of soul perching. The scholar-bureaucrats in Wei, Jin, South and North Dynasties took in essences of Zhuangzi spirit, and made their own soul world keep a harmonious and accommodation relationship with universe. While absorbing spirit nutrition from the nature, they dispelled the spirit anguish into the nature, uniting the universe and life, and corresponding the moral qualities and objects as well. Therefore, they melted their life idea and personality spirit into aesthetic image of natural landscape, and expressed their personal life sense and personality ideas depending on physical property and objectives of nature.Form the rational analyses of philosophically intellectual enquiries in this chapter, some basic thoughts penetrating this sophisticated cultural phenomenon of Zhangzi accepted by metaphysics are found, which are relationships between poetry spirit, art principals, art spirit personality ideals and scenic literature.
