This paper aims at exploring the hidden aesthetic concept in Chuan-Tze works though its analytical structures focusing on aesthetic research and the actual hidden activities of mankind. The basic structure of aesthetics is profoundly expressed in life itself while preventing it from being distorted in the process. Seemingly, Chuan-Tze Aesthetic Thought focuses on resolving the hetero-changes in mankind. Thus, the author holds a very subjective perception while circumventing. In the process of such a research, I have made use of three major sources. First, I have directly quoted Chuan-Tze''s works. The origin of those masterpieces( 33 Chapters) is quite complicated. Likewise, I have also viewed Chuan-Tze''s masterpieces as an ideology circumventing and exploring its beauty as a whole. Moreover, the genre that culminates his masterpieces is in its footnotes. Second, the discussion of its aesthetic value concepts are worthy of references. Third, I have also cross-examined other philosophical concepts when interpreting Chuan-Tze''s point of views. This paper is divided into five sub-topics. The first chapter provides the methods of research used, attitudes of applying , and a synopsis of each chapter. The second chapter mainly discusses on the re-affirmation of Chuan-Tze aesthetic thought by clarifying the ambiguities posted in its aesthetics and philosophy. Moreover, it further gives a rational and a mandatory explanation of its aesthetic thought. The third chapter provides the reader an objective observation of Chuan-Tze aesthetics, and the factors that constitute its beauty - criteria, quality and its embodiment; and further use these three factors to explain the views of Chuan-Tze about aesthetics. From the basic foundation of Chuan-Tze theory, a new theory of aesthetics is established. The embodiment of aesthetics can be realized according to three basic theories, namely - humanism, self-cultivation, and erudition. The last chapter gives us a conclusion. The aesthetics of Chuan-Tze culminates in the unification of the cosmos and the earth, not in vanity. Its especial feature, not only emphasizes its subjectivity but the real fulfillment is in the suffering world. It is only through the ramification of individual, will we truly achieve the true essence of aesthetics.
