They are systematic.“Huainanzi” puts forward some profound and important viewpoints around emotion and art, such as a deep understanding of natural emotions, Fen zhong ying wai" "Zhong you ben zhu" "Jun xing zhe" . Such propositions are elaborated in-depth in the creation and appreciation of literary and artistic aesthetics, so they have a strong aesthetic meaning. Although the original intention of the writers talking about feelings is not aimed at aesthetic appreciation, the aesthetic consciousness they reveal when talking about literature and art has a profound influence on aesthetics that cannot be ignored.
