What is The Release of Meaning in Light of the Cultural Semiotics of Jingshen about?

## Abstract The subject’s perception of the object and the relationship between the two have long been regarded as the main path for human beings to explore the world. In semiotic research, scholars have also mostly adhered to this research idea that the symbolic subject and object remain unified. However, the semiosis of the objective world is extremely complicated, and the interpretation of symbolic meaning varies greatly. Therefore, the cultural semiotics of jingshen challenges the dichotomy of cognitive subjects and objects and proposes a more valuable cognitive model, “I lost myself,” on the basis of Chuang Tzu’s philosophical thought. This paper attempts to interpret the task of the cultural semiotics of jingshen through the guiding idea of “I lost myself.” This indicates that if an individual seeks to comprehend and interpret the symbolic meaning authentically and thoroughly, they must adhere to Dao and escape the bondage of intersubjectivity. This paper hypothesizes that the ultimate purpose of the cultural semiotics of jingshen is to release the symbolic meaning in a broadened space and return it to its original, natural, and unconstrained form.
