The Dialectical Views About Thoughts and Language of Liu Xie's Spiritual to Creation

In his Spiritual Activity to Creation, Liu Xie not only explains the creation thinking, conception and imagination, but also elaborates the relationship between thought and language, between language and meaning. He advocates that language is the principal means of describing things and a good command of vocabulary will contribute to expression, that language is substantial and can hardly be as fantastic as imagination, that an article of poor expression and raw material can be created into a masterpiece. His viewpoint reveals the dialectical relationship between language and thought, between language and meaning, and demonstrates the feature and significance of literary language, exerting great influence on the formation of ancient Chinese literary tradition of "meaning beyond word".
