Features: The "Concept of Image Thinking" and its 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 cultural thought. The "Introduction" and "Preface" of the book emphasize that "Image Thinking" as dynamic holistic intuitive rational thinking is highly original and more fundamental than conceptual thinking. It is precisely with this new methodology and perspective that the book offers highly illuminating interpretations and discussions on the basic fields of China's original thought and culture, including the I Ching, the Tao Te Ching, the Zhuangzi, Zen Buddhism, ancient poetry, calligraphy, and painting theory.
