Zhuangzi said this in the article "Geng Sang Chu":
Pursue ambition, solve inner fallacies, get rid of moral fatigue, and reach the plug of Tao. Your wealth is strict, fame and fortune is six, and so is Zhi Bo. It is also wrong to be tolerant of color, reason and anger. Evil desires, emotions, joys and sorrows are also tiring. Take knowledge and ability for example, it is blocked. These four or six don't swing, they are in the chest, positive and quiet, quiet and bright, bright and empty, empty and inaction.
All kinds of utilitarian desires bind people's hearts. If we get rid of this bondage, our hearts will be in a fair state, undisturbed, quiet and clear when we are calm, ethereal when we are clear, and we can "govern by doing nothing." The so-called "inaction" is "swimming", that is, the subject's psychology moves from static to high freedom. This realm exists in all aesthetic experiences. Lu Ji and Liu Xie used "emptiness and quietness" and "wandering" to describe the artistic conception.
Lu Ji said: "At first, we all turned our attention to listening, worrying about the news, paying attention to the eight extremes and going to Wan Ren. Because of it, the feelings are light and fresh, and things are clear and mutual ... Looking at the past and the present in an instant, caressing the whole world in an instant. " Liu Xie said: "The thinking of literature is also far-reaching. Therefore, I am silent and worried, thinking about the Millennium; Quietly, see Wan Li. "
That is to say, in aesthetic creation, once it enters a silent state, the mind of the creative subject will be fully free and all aesthetic psychological mechanisms will be active. "Concentrate on Wan Ren", and your imagination soared. "Thinking about the Millennium" and "Seeing through Wan Li" fully mobilized perception and thinking.
