Abstract: It has been thousands of years since literary art has been created. And there are diverse definitions on what literary art is and what its functions are. However, there is hardly any view on how literary art is produced. As a result, there are people who think that literary art is the product of mere idleness or fantasy and hence the world cannot get necessary benefit from it. When we know about the nature of artistic creation, people would not have any false belief about it like this. So the purpose of this article is to put forward a view on how literary art is created. It claims that literary art is created when one remains away from the elements of nature. And it is created to fulfil the sense of lack of nature in the conducts of human beings. When we know this nature of artistic creation, people would not take literary art as the creation of idleness. When it is well known, there could be established certain cannons of creating literary art and interpreting them. Then, it would be proved to be helpful in creating harmony in and between human being and nature.
