Abstract: Although Xiong Shili's ambition is to illuminate the Confucian learning, the poetic dimension is rarely found in his scholarship. But this should not be considered as a consequential phenomenon according to the logic of Modern New-Confucianism. Different from Xiong, Xu Fuguan is interested in literature and art owing to his experiential character;at the same time he tries to set up his intellectual system on the root of human mind by way of carrying on the creative idea of his mentor.
