Mi Fei put forward the idea of "plain and naive" painting, and it has a profound reason for the times. The objective requirement of the social environment of the Northern Song Dynasty, the mainstream of the times thought enlightenment and aesthetic changes, and southern school rise but still do not have the right to speak and other factors, in a certain extent spawned or contributed to the Mi Fu’s aesthetic ideas.Flat and innocent China rooted in the traditional culture, in line with the development law of Chinese art, it can be accepted by the people and push in. Its absorption and fusion of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other various thoughts, therefore explore the Mi Fu "simplicity" of the ideological content and aesthetic spirit shall of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and other various especially Taoist theory related to the topic of research.
