As zhouyizhengyi is a important step in the history of the study on zhouyi between the Han Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the study of its esthetic thoughts is very important for the history of Chinese Life Esthetics.Wang Bi absorbs Lao Zi's minds in his explanation for zhouyi and this explanation is the base of the zhouyizhengyi. He gives up the image and number and emphasizes the idea. Built on the Wu, his theory takes the place of the cosmic theory built on the Qi in Han Dynasty. The history of the trend of Chinese thought and the explanation for zhouyi have been changed from then.Absorbing the thoughts of the people in Han Dynasty and Guo Xiang, Kong Ying-da changes the WangBi's explanation for zhouyi.
