Abstract：“Shixiang”, also referred to as “Xiangshi” in ancient China, is the description of image of actions. “Ye Wang (gazing into the wilderness)”, a cultural and psychological image, has appeared in a large number of poetic texts such as ancient Chinese classics, essays of great ancient Chinese philosophers(such as Laozi, Confucius and so on), poems, and songs. It witnessed three important historical phases of Chinese civilization. In this process, ancient Chinese scholars, especially poets, formed three kinds of action consciousness with Chinese characteristics. Different from the imagery of sitting beside official at banquets, the imagery of“Ye Wang” is poets' representation of life when they are out of office and far from secular life. They use images and metaphors to write about everything on the earth, changes of human life, and movement of various lives. The imagery of“Ye Wang” is not only a record of the heroic personality and poetic quality of ancient Chinese scholars(poets in particular) who were fearless and determined to fulfill their aspiration, but also reveals the truth of history, social changes, and cultural anxiety of Chinese nation. Its poetic writing has a value that cannot be replaced by general history. Today, we humans are losing our natural qualities. The imagery of “Ye Wang” is of great significance for us to reflect upon the two sides of human civilization, break away from social repression, regain natural qualities, and purify our souls. It is worth in-depth exploration and study.
