《易经》包含着大量处于萌芽状态的美学智慧,蕴藏着华夏先民的审美意识和审美心理,是中国美学的原始生发点。其中以"乾坤"两卦所代表的阴阳思想为中华文明的起源和发展奠定了基调。《易经》"坤"卦的阴性思想脱胎于原始社会的女性崇拜,对中华民族的性格和民族心理的形成产生潜移默化的影响。

Since “Book of Changes”contains a great quantity of aesthetic wisdom in the bud, which implied the consciousness of aesthetic appreciation and the mentality of aesthetic appreciation by the ancient Chinese people,it is regarded as the primeval start of our Chinese aesthetics.Among them,the notions of Yin and Yang,represented by two diagrams of “Qian and Kun”,established the keynote for the origin and development of Chinese civilization.The feminine notion of Kun Diagram was born out of the female worship in primitive society,which had produced an invisible,formative influence on the formation of the Chinese national character and national psychology.
