It is easy to find the influence of the thoughts of Lao-tzu and Chuang-tzu on the ancient Chinese's pursuit for inner meaning. It shows as the following three aspects: the Taoists' pursuit for the theory that man is an integral part of nature; the comprehension of the truth of Tao, namely, it is only can be realized not be conveyed in words; and the pure serenity, the supreme realm of thought of Tao which attained by“xinzhai,“zuowang,“shenyu and“yizhi. It is can be said that in the long process of the development of Chinese literature, the traditional scholars saw Tao as the standard and way of the individual spiritual accomplishment and meanwhile it is specified as the pursuit for artistic mood in literature.
