中国美学对于象的思维方式并非一以贯之。象在不同的时代被赋予了不同的审美内涵,因而也表现出不尽相同的审美形态。从整个中国美学史来看,中国美学的象思维有其逻辑的发展与演变过程。这不但是哲学与文化的历史进展的结果,而且也符合其自身内在发展的需要。简言之,汉代以前,象思维的敞开方式主要是以物象为主。汉代至魏晋时期,象思维的表现形态主要是以情象为主。唐代以后,随着道禅思想的深入影响,象思维一方面逐渐被内化,衍生了意象理论;另一方面又要被超越,在意象的基础上发展出意境理论。这样,物象、情象、意象、意境中象思维的逻辑演变构成了中国美学的独特风格。 Chinese aesthetics for the image of the way of thinking is not consistent.

Han Dynasty to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, as the expression of the form of thinking is mainly based on the image. After the Tang Dynasty, with the deepening influence of Daoism, the thought-like thinking was gradually internalized and derived the theory of imagery. On the other hand, it was surpassed and the theory of mood was developed on the basis of imagery. In this way, the logical evolution of things like images, images, images, and artistic conceptions constitutes the unique style of Chinese aesthetics.
