"Qingkong" Jiang Kui

The thesis begins with the origin and development of the literature concepts of "Qing" (clearness, completeness, purity) and "Kong" (nothingness, emptiness, vacancy) in the history of classical Chinese literature. By analyzing how the Confucianism's characteristic idea of Qingbai (innocence, honesty, blamelessness, unblemishedness, faultlessness) and Taoism's philosophical idea of Qingjing (quietness, tranquilty) complement and interject with each other, exploring ancient Chinese scholars' aesthetical consciousness and interactions between "Kongjing" theory and consciousness of literature writing, this thesis studies the evolutionary process of "Qingkong" concept.This thesis appreciates the special feature of "Qingkong" pursued by Jiangkui and embodied in his Ci works( a type of literature, which was very popular and reached its ripen time in Song Dynasty) by probing into Jiangkui's aesthetical literature writing, combining with the study on his personality, experiences and views of value.Through the understanding of typical images like "emptiness, coldness, sereneness, loneliness " and the analysis of unique Ci works' writing technique, for example, "spring grass and wild goose witness time's flying", "the last sentence points out the leitmotiv", "the prefaces and the Ci works complement and reflect each other", this thesis also elucidates the humanistic essence in Jiangkui's Ci works.
