Abstract

People have been talking a lot about Zheng Guanying's visions, hailing his masterpiece <em>Prosperous Prophecy</em> as the contribution it has made in political, economic, cultural, educational, religious, medical, military, legal, social, diplomatic, and journalistic aspects. Yet they failed to notice the idea of designing communicated by Zheng in his <em>Prosperous Prophecy</em>. Based on an intensive research, in this article, the author discovers the theme of “saving and invigorating the country” in <em>Prosperous Prophecy</em>, and further identifies the book as the first one in China to use “Mei Shu” (the fine arts) as an alien word. Furthermore, the author also traces the breeding of the idea of designing in modern China.
