Abstract：As is discerned in the Mingshi (Rediscovery of Potery)section of Wenxin diaolong (Literary Mind and Carved Dragon),its key formulation provided within is concerned with the historical evolution and development of poetry as a whole. It offers certain insights and notions that are subtly and pro-foundly exposing or revealing some most fundamental features of poetic creation. This paper attempts to look into Liu Xie's poetics with focuses on such conceptions as "zhezhong" (correct inclusiveness) ,"qiu-tong" (holistic vision),and ziran weimei(naturalness as beauty),etc. All this is to be conducted in view of stylistic change, artistic making and poetic paradigm.
