As an important category of Chinese classical literary theory, miaowu theory possesses deeply and richly aesthetic connotation. The target of miaowu is xingqu within which xing are images and qu are spirit or interest. Having a certain relation with yunwei, xingqu is an undetached, and untraced but deeply reserved artistic emotional appeal shaped after interest merged into the whole image of poetry. Being a kind of intuitive ability to grasp the aesthetic object, miaowu mainly expresses itself on the one hand in savoring a person's own inner heart and on the other hand in experiencing with the object, meanwhile talking with the object to attain a harmonious relation. The competence of miaowu is never innate or inherent, but coming through the repeated artistic practice. Miaowu is combination of numerous of people's wisdom and a result of multiple culture colliding with each other. Having a direct connection with Taoism and the chan sect(zen),and miaowu means to grasp "miao", which concerns with "Tao", and it adopts the deep meditation of zen but turning to the surroundings separated with human's body ,and to the noumenon.Certain difficulties come along with the applying of miaowu in contemporary context. Miaowu is the poetical theory, however poetry has not been the dominant artistic form. Miaowu proves to be systematical, which not easily to operate. Compared with the western literary theory, the characteristic of miaowu is very distinctive, which manifests its modern significance. However, making a comparison is to adopt other's advantages in order to develop and enrich itself.
