Abstract: The theory of "Fu Ji" and "Fu Xin" in Xijing Miscellanea has always been considered by scholars as an important material about Sima Xiangru and aesthetic criticism of the ode in the Western Han Dynasty. However, this theory was proposed by someone else in Wei-Jin Periods rather than Sima Xiangru. It had great significance not only because of its precise description of the ode in the Han Dynasty, but also because it revealed how the literary ideas and metaphysics in Wei-Jin Periods affected contemporary people's unique insights in terms of the noumenon and the creation of the ode.

Key words: Fu Ji, Fu Xin, Wei-Jin Periods, literary ideas, metaphysics
