Vitality is confronted with Ideal. Ideal is Neo-confucian Ideal. Koo use 暢暢[chang-chang] as a synonym of Vitality, and use sense-centralism, intellectuality, Idealism as a synonym of Ideal. The consequence of History of Korean Art is Ethical Idealism. Koo's Theory of History of Korean Art differs from 21th century predominent Theory of History of Korean Art.
