Abstract:Huainan Zi adheres to the cultural ideal of integrating "Tao" and "Objects", and clearly puts forward the value principle of "Tao" as the constant and "Objects" as the variable, trying to solve the opposition between the ultimate metaphysical "Tao" and the realistic regulation of "Objects". Therefore, a complete meaning of life is constructed, and a realm of life uniting "floating in harmony" and "floating with the world" is realized. This construction of cultural ideal is not only the logical evolution of Tao theory since the pre-Qin period, but also the manifestation of the law of social and historical development. The integrated development of "Tao" and "Objects" is not only a new form of cultural ideal, but also reflects Huainan Zi’s answer about the need to construct a cultural community in the Han Dynasty. The cultural imagination and identification of the Han ethnic community demonstrated in Huainan Zi is a magnificent ideological creation, which aims to "unite the world, regulate the universe, adapt to change, and unify different categories".
