Abstract

Li (礼) in Chinese culture is an integrated concept of mind and body. Based on C. G. Jung’s idea of mind-body unity, post-Jungians’ archetypal image schema and Chinese self-cultivation view, the study attempts to construct an archetypal mind-body mutual shaping development model in the hope of providing wisdom and theoretical support for the dynamic mind-body cultivation process through Li and its significance for psychological healing, so as to make Li more contemporary and inherited.
