Features: The "Image Thinking" concept and theory proposed in this book are both a summary of the fundamental characteristics of traditional Chinese thought and a new methodology and perspective for the study of this intellectual culture. The "Introduction" and "Preface" of the book emphasize that "Image Thinking," as dynamic holistic intuitive reasoning, is highly original and more fundamental than conceptual thinking. It is precisely through this new methodology and perspective that the book offers highly illuminating interpretations and discussions of the fundamental areas of China's original intellectual culture, including the I Ching, the Tao Te Ching, the Zhuangzi, Chan Buddhism, ancient poetry, calligraphy, and painting theory.
