Abstract:Actually, “Unintentional” and “Intentional” are two classical Chinese aesthetic categories, which have not yet fully studied. “Intention” is used as the medium derived from “Doing something” and “Doing nothing”, which are the philosophical categories of Laozi and Zhuangzi. The qualitative change, sublimated from “Doing something” to level of “Doing nothing”, is the symptom state of “last resort”. “Being unintentionally” and “Writing unintentionally” should be reconsidered in the context of literary consciousness and independence. Taking the independence of literature as the boundary of “Unintentional writing” and “Intentional writing”, triggers “the distinction of high or low quality between ancient and modern literature” and leads to the formation of a wealth of literary creation theories, which delivers an appeal for the creation the literary theory about “Unintentional” and “Intentional”. There are many literary conceptions that focus on the aesthetic creation and aesthetic criticism, all of which present the connotation integration of “Intentional” and “Unintentional”.
