The Chinese ancient natural disposition and soul theory had a long history. The concept of natural disposition and soul sprouted from the pre-Qin philosophers and achieved richness and prosperity during Ming and Qing Dynasties. Its self-sufficiency became a spectacular image in the history of ancient Chinese literary theory and had a far-reaching impact on both ancient literary creation and social life. Quanzhen Taoism in Jin and Yuan Dynasties, made a great evolution and contribution to the natural disposition and soul theory, brought religious implications into itself and extended its connotations, which was of great significance for change.
