After Zhong Zi-qi鐘子期 who understands the deep message in Bo Ya’s伯牙 music died, Bo Ya ceased to play lute and broke it. This beautiful story has evoked sympathetic response from Chinese people for centuries, even in modern era it is sometimes selected in the textbooks of middle school. Liu Xie劉勰 is so understanding in using zhi yin知音to describe “an understanding critic”. In the chapter “Zhi Yin”知音, Liu Xie indicates the intrinsic difficulties in finding a zhi yin知音, “hardly once in a thousand years do we happen upon an understanding critic”逢其知音,千載其一乎. It is obvious that this vision can be traced back to its wellspring, Mencius’ zhi ren lun shi知人論世passage, although Liu Xie does not mention the name of Mencius. The major points of this project are: (1) zhi-yin知音 is an aesthectic transformation of Confucian concept of friendship, (2) zhi-yin知音 concept reflects a special Chinese type of “understanding” which emphasizes the deep correlation between the subject and object; and (3) zhi-yin知音 will become a productive source for the formation of a particular aesthetics which can be called “Confucian aesthetics of understanding.”知音儒家美學理解朋友經典詮釋zhi-yin Confucian aesthetics understanding friendship Confucian hermeneutics
