Abstract
The idea of literary talent mindset was epitomized in The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons in the period of Wei-Jin and Six Dynasties. The book contained the most comprehensive and profound knowledge of literary mind as an aptitude, which was seminal to almost all the later discourses on the issue of literary talent, and its theoretical insight remains unsurpassable in many aspects. Liu Xie's philosophical view of the nature and human is reflected in this concept of literary talent mind, which gave both weight to gift and diligence, and the equal emphases on human efforts and born gift are shown especially in his theorization of talent, method and thinking.
