Abstract: “Zhijue” is a Chinese version of the English word “intuition”, but it is not an equivalence translation in view of the two intuitive concepts in Chinese and western cultures. It is a cultural fusion of traditional Chinese intuitive thinking and the western intuitional perception. Zhu Qianzhi and Zhu Guangqian penetrate Chinese emotionalism into the meaning structure of the concept of “intuition”, making “zhijue” a fixed concept in Chinese aesthetics and literary criticism. The intercultural interpretation of “intuition” in Chinese modern philosophy and aesthetics is a process of blending ancient and modern, Chinese and western thoughts in a special historical context. It not only promotes the modern transformation of Chinese philosophy, aesthetics and literature, but also confirms the possibility of mutual invention between Chinese traditional academics and western thoughts.

Key words: intuition; emotionalism; life consciousness; aesthetic concept
