Lao tzu and Chuang tzu are the representative figures of Taoism in pre-Qin period, they fully affirm the natural and human nature, naysay affirm human social, cultural and moral, cancel the traditional music, naysay affirm material, they pursue art which is eligibility natural and completely abandon the man-made things, esthetical state according with Tao. They think the great voice is no sound, the great semblance is invisible, the no sound voice and invisible semblance are insight native beauty which are associated with a specific aesthetic feeling but surpass the limited aesthetic feeling, all is the highest state of art and beauty, reach this level, in fact, has entered the Tao. In order to reach this state, they asked people to cleanse away inner desire and external disturbance, keep simplicity, abandon knowledge and wisdom, keep heart bright and clean, forget everything in order to contact the natural law with the nature, the nature＇s mystery runs automatically, the sounds of nature sound itself.

Of all the similarities, simplicity is the most significant advocacy they both strive to preach. They both believe the sensual desires and spiritual qualities existed in an opposing relationship. They both agreed that aiming for simplicity is to obtain spiritual wealth. They both claim that simplicity purifies one＇s material life and helps turn one＇s vision inward. Simplicity is a necessary aspect of the path to spiritual freedom. Nature is an indispensable realm to reconcile their spiritual and practical展开更多
