Features: This book is an academic work that primarily explores the complex and lengthy evolution of the term "qiyun" () in the fields of humanistic theory, art theory, and literary theory. "Qi" () and "Yun" () were originally monosyllabic words, but when combined, they gradually became a shared term in humanistic theory, art theory, and literary theory. Their connotations have been continuously interpreted and enriched over time as people's understanding of art deepened, and the term has even been introduced to the West, sparking interest among Western sinologists. The book also includes references and an index for readers' reference.
