Abstract: The early folk Taoism worships aesthetics,and being immortal is an important resource in ancient China’s life aesthetics and body aesthetics.And the early folk Taoism also cherishes pleasant life and peaceful and harmonious environment,extending the value of body and significance of life.Freedom and pleasure represent the aesthetic idea of the early Taoism way of life,and the portraits in the Han Dynasty have shown the life attitude to transcend time and space to obtain eternal happiness.The description of peaceful and harmonious paradise presented in the Han portraits has transcended the traditional form aesthetics and epistemological aesthetics,and has brought about new thought and new space in interpreting life culture.

Key words: portraits in the Han Dynasty, the early Taoism, the belief of being immortal, aesthetic idea
