On the Chinese side, we have been guided by an interplay between the Taoist principle that “To understand the meaning or significance of a thing, one must become the thing, harmonize one’s consciousness with it...” and a Confucian orientation to social meaning and coherence. The humility needed for our work gives due deference to the great 5th century scholars Hsieh Ho（谢赫） and Liu Hsieh（刘勰）. From Hsieh Ho we obtained the “Six Principles” (六法） of art criticism with a special emphasis on “spirit resonance” (气韵生动） and Liu Hsieh wisely advises us how best to evaluate the interplay of content and form in the literary works of authors. As a researcher with Western training, I create experimental paradigms enabling us to explore how the mind interacts with artistic and literary works during acts of creation and reception. In this day-and-age we dare not speak of the mind without bringing to bear its relationship to the brain. The landscape of the mind is always in harmony with the landscape of brain activity against the background of culture. In the end, my goal is to show complementary relations between Western and Chinese approaches to scholarship and research. Three principles underlying my work fit comfortably within a Chinese intellectual context. The principle that epistemology recapitulates ontology holds that our knowledge of the world in general, and art in particular, is shaped by what we take to be real. The second principle, suggestion meets connection expresses the idea that creative works can awaken meanings and feelings from our personal and collective memories. A third principle emphasizes the emergent nature of meaningful experience which begins in a holistic manner and unfolds as detailed knowledge is applied. I will review a series of studies beginning with my own early work on the reception of representational and abstract paintings at the levels of experience and in the brain. Then I will turn to our recent study on Taoist and Confucian aspects of imagination in Chinese students. This will be followed by an experiment on how brain structures shape the appreciation of Chinese compared to Western landscape paintings. Finally, I will discuss our work on the creation and appreciation of stories and poems based on classical and contemporary Chinese characters and styles. 【主讲人简介】 Gerald C.
