Abstract: There are two contradictory ideas in ancient Chinese poetry theories.One is that poetry expresses one's will and the other is that poetry expresses one's emotion.The two ideas are both one-sided.Only when they are united can the two ideas get complete.Their unity is based on the fact that both of the ideas bring to light the emergence and innate character of poetry in different depths and at different levels instead of different ways.People's understanding of the innate character of poetry has gone from the idea that poetry expresses one's will to the idea that poetry expresses one's emotion,which corresponds to the general cognitive law.
