The article explores how literature and Dao (a concept in Chinese philosophy) are connected in the text Huai Nan Zi. It discusses how Dao is seen as both a metaphysical concept (related to the fundamental nature of reality) and a set of rules governing the world. In Huai Nan Zi, literature and art are seen as expressions of people's emotions, which are influenced by their personality, which in turn is shaped by Dao. This shows that literature and Dao are closely linked. The text suggests that literature, emotions, and Dao are all connected in a unified system, providing a new perspective on Confucian philosophy and the arts.
