Abstract
Kristeva, in her publication Revolution In Poetic Language, refers to the concept of chora to reconstruct the demolition of emotionality and rationality in humankind. Chora is a space constituted of the Semiotic and the Symbolic for the preparation to generate humanity. I noticed that Kristevas chora functions not only in a semiotic way but also interpenetrates into the thoughts of Chinese Daoism. I believe this discovery is beneficial for us to understand Kristevas psychoanalysis in a different way with some cultural exchanges; in addition, we can come up with a new perspective on the traditional discussion of Daoism from western theories. I first reanalyzed Kristevas chora in a semiotic way. Then I argued that chora assimilates Chinese Daoism in two pieces of evidence: Chora can be valued as a Daoist matrix where drives or motivations are generated. More, chora shares the common features of Laozis potentiality and Zhuangzis obscurity.
