What is the significance of Taoist emptiness and quietness? "Virtual quietness" is an important concept in China's ancient philosophy and literary aesthetics. As a "virtual silence" in philosophy, not only Taoism, but also Confucianism, France and Buddhism. For example, Xunzi Jiemao said, "Be quiet". "The Book of Guan Angel" says: "The way of heaven is empty, and the way of earth is quiet". Yang Quan, the son of Han Fei, said, "Hold on to one thing and be quiet" and "be quiet after being empty". The theory of emptiness and quietness is a common understanding in the pre-Qin period, which involves personality cultivation, way of thinking, world view, epistemology and so on. These understandings have a certain influence on the formation of the theory of emptiness and quietness in later literary aesthetics. The Taoist theory of emptiness and quietness has a more direct influence and a closer relationship, which should be regarded as Laozi and Zhuangzi. ?
