摘　　要：This paper compares the concept of xu jing in Liu Xie’s Wenxin Diaolong with the ideas of xinzhai zuowang and xushi shengbai in Zhuangzi.It argues that xinzhai zuowang is Zhuangzi’s method for self-cultivation to attain the Dao,while xushi shengbai serves as the premise for the relationship between Liu Xie’s xu jing and Zhuangzi’s xinzhai zuowang.This study challenges the traditional view that Daoist thought is epistemological and that xu jing is merely methodological,suggesting that Liu Xie’s philosophical perspective is not inferior to that of Zhuangzi.By applying Zhuangzi’s concept of relativism,the paper proposes three levels of xu jing:artistic creation,anticipation of inspiration,and attaining the Dao.It asserts that Liu Xie’s xu jing can achieve the highest level of attaining the Dao and align with Zhuangzi’s philosophical essence.
