中國民間藝術(shù)與中國哲學統(tǒng)一于“陰陽(yin-yang)生萬物”這一理念。這一理念源于中國原始社會，是對人類的人生感悟的哲學注解。中國人祖先的哲學論斷是“近看自己，遠觀他人”。要理解民族民間藝術(shù)的原始藝術(shù)，這一結(jié)論必不 可少。人類的本能欲望是生存并通過繁衍(propagation)繼續(xù)存在。人生來的首要 本能是求生，然后是長壽。從原始社會到今天，陰陽和永生的觀念始終貫穿中國的社會生活和民族文化。中國民間藝術(shù)反映了社會的所有基本哲學理念。

　　Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unifiedin the belief that yin-yang produces all living things inthe world. Originated in Chinese primitive society,this was the philosophical explanation of human'sperception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophicalconclusion was to “l(fā)ook at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”，which is essentialto the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continuelife through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's firstinstinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day,the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and thenational culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophicalconcepts.
