Philosophical Practice of Imagery Communication Psychology Based on Chinese Wisdom

As one of the most important representatives of Chinese psychology, Imagery Communication Psychology is rooted in Chinese philosophy and traditional culture, and manifests distinctive cultural self-consciousness and theoretical self-confidence. Its methodology, centered on “inner experience”, breaks through the paradigm limitations of Western positivist psychology and builds a psychological system with Chinese characteristics. We systematically explain the basic philosophical propositions, epistemology, methodology, core values, and practical strategies of Imagery Communication Psychology, as well as the paths and applications of its philosophical practices, with an emphasis on its contribution to Chinese psychology. Imagery Communication Psychology returns to the human heart through the cultural decoding of imagery symbols. Its philosophical practice toward the human heart and orientation toward the good not only enhances the layout of psychological clinics but also fosters the innovative fusion of contemporary psychology and traditional Chinese cultural wisdom. It provides a new paradigm for cross-cultural psychological dialogues and lays an important cornerstone for the academic discourse system of Chinese psychology.
