本文认为，神思是中国古代文学创作最基本的艺术想象方式，它以“神与物游”为基本运思方式，其功能在于创造审美意象。神思具有形象与情感相统一性、虚构虚拟性、超越时空性、用思艰苦性及语言媒介性等特点。神思以观物为逻辑起点，以“虚静”为心理条件。培养神思应从“积学”、“酌理”、“研阅”以及语言运用等方面入手 This paper argues that ShenZhi is the most basic way of art imagination in Chinese ancient literary creation. Its function is to create the aesthetic image by taking “God and WuHuYou” as the basic way of thinking. Spiritual thinking has the characteristics of the unity of image and emotion, fictional virtuality, transcendence of time and space, hard thinking and language media. God thought to the concept of objects as a logical starting point to “quiet” as a psychological condition. Cultivation of mind should be from the “plot”, “discretion”, “study” and language use and so on
