Beginning from the double perspectives of the macro and micro fields, this paper broadly cites from anthropological materials for exemplifications. There are four sections: (1)an introduction to the multiple characteristics in Chinese arts and life, (2)the history of Chinese artistic life, (3)an example of the artistic life-Li Yu's (李漁) Accidental Life, Random Emotions (閒情偶寄), (4)Conclusion.
