Abstract

This paper attempts to investigate the implication of Ti-chih (embodied knowledge) in Confucian aesthetics of music. In Chinese tradition, the special mode of knowing in musical appreciation can be called Chih-yin which is the aesthetic type of Ti-chih.
This article concerns: 1) Confucius’ experience of musical appreciation; 2) the relationship between "expression" and "mimesis" in musical creation; 3) how to understand the concrete content implied in the artistic form of "expression" or "mimesis;" 4) the interaction between politics and music in Confucian concept of human cultivation.
