This Key Concepts pivot discusses the significance of the ancient
Chinese concept of xing or 'Association' in defining Chinese
civilization and thought through the centuries. An approach unique
to literary creation in China, xing highlights the importance
Chinese civilization sets by the integration of intellect, emotion
and will into a highly consistent concept across its personal and
public spheres. The book explores how the concept has been a widely
used creative technique even in the earliest collections of Chinese
poems, using metaphor and symbolism to set the scene and indicate
thoughts and emotions invested in the vehicle of metaphor, as well
as its impact on Chinese literature and philosophy as a domain of
multiple meanings in classical Chinese aesthetics.
