This book attempts to trace the specific cultural situations and theoretical genes that generated the core concepts in Zhong Rong's "Shipin" with an open vision, and focuses on elucidating the aesthetic implications and life experiences they contain, so that they can be reactivated in the dialogue with the research subject, thereby combining traditional poetic wisdom with current living experience. Therefore, in the specific research process, the core concepts in "Shipin" are mainly examined in the vertical historical river of Chinese aesthetics and literary theory and the horizontal cultural atmosphere of the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. In the study of specific concepts, the spirit of the times and the historical and cultural heritage of the object are reflected. At the same time, when analyzing the respective connotations of the core concepts of "Shipin", we should examine the connections between them and regard the concepts of "Shipin" as an interrelated theoretical whole. This will break away from the limitation of studying a certain individual concept and avoid severing the integrity and organic nature of its theory.
