Abstract: “Elegance” has been rooted in the traditional Chinese culture for thousands of years. It is present in the Book of Songs and the Analects of Confucius with aesthetic propositions such as “Yadao” (elegant methods), “Yazhi”( elegant and delicate), “Yaye” (the industry of verse), “Yaqu” (a sense of elegant humor). "Elegance" is often used to describe the literati and upper culture. Until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the traditional literati class still clung to the elegant world with classic beauty and elegant taste, but Li Yu duly explored and chased the road of "novelty" at the base of theory of elegant, and formed a set of creation aesthetics for both common people and the literati.
