Features: Based on the critical inheritance of the research achievements of Neo-Confucianism, Neo-Taoism, and other aestheticians on the research of life realms, this book examines the life realms of Laozi and Zhuangzi, revealing the generative aesthetics behind the seemingly contradictory thoughts of Laozi and Zhuangzi. It highlights the mechanism by which the life realms of Laozi and Zhuangzi transform into aesthetic realms, thereby providing a typical intellectual thread for the aesthetic generation of life realms. Furthermore, it opens up new horizons for the study of Chinese aesthetics, literature, and art history.
