Chinese Literary Logic: Imaginary Thinking in Cognitive Structure

摘要

Chinese characters are ideographic writing, and there is a close relationship between their physical structures and meanings. The logic-cognitive process of this connection is determined by the normative role of traditional Chinese imagery thinking. In the logic-cognitive process of visual analogy, it regulates the historical process of the development of Chinese characters and guides the Chinese people's aesthetic concepts and methods in the process of literacy recognition by adopting a thinking method that combines subjective will and external objects. To taste the normative function of this mode of thinking, it's better to appreciate its underlying principles of logical methodology, aesthetic concepts, technical methods, cultural traditions and humanistic spirit.
