ABSTRACT
In the framework of three forms and life dimensions, the formal aesthetics of Zhongyong can be divided into two kinds. The equilibrium and harmony of exemplary persons provide the ideal model of ordinary people to follow their own nature and control their emotions under the ritual propriety. Also, perfect sincerity of the sage is the ultimate model for everyone to complete the aspects and create the art form of internal beauty based on his metaphysical order. Therefore, the formal aesthetics of Zhongyong emphasizes the formal unity contained in the life and metaphysical form.
