From the perspective of ontology of body language, namely how movements are generated, the essence and texture of movements, this paper shows the depth and breadth of the research subjects. Body is the tool for people to learn and explore the world. Body perceptions are imprinted in people’s mind as memories to accompany people the whole life. The verbal language might be deceptive, but body language is real. How to master the body expressions, study the intensions of body movements and explore the inner world can help people learn others and themselves as well. The life of a person is filled with pains. The painful memories accompany a person all over his life and impede his body movements. Thus, the author attempts to explore body movements to release and cure emotions through movements. Body movements reflect the inevitable movement traces of life. Quite often, the body shows a new core meaning, which is authentically reflected through habitual movements. Body movements can convey ideas and emotions. The non-vocabulary physical symbols, such as body language and touch, pose and appearance, eye contact and expression, exchange space and distance, can help one explore the other’s internal secrets. Language expression is not necessary for interpersonal communication. One can learn the other’s authentic inner world and ideas through the other’s behaviors. One can disguises oneself with words, but his behaviors reveal his past. The human body is one with rich cultural information endowed by society, history and culture.This paper employs multiple theories to analyze the essence of body movement and form scientific movement traces, which can be widely applied to various industries, including art creation, business communication, social etiquettes and art treatment. The author attempts to contribute a little share to the development of body language research.
