Abstract Creative thinking includes two domains: ″realm″ and ″tactics″. One is a realm that reveals the fundamental state of the existence, and the other is the concrete thinking mode to create effective ideas. The formation of creative mind requires leisure mentality and context, and leisure education enables people to make better use of leisure and play a positive role in creative thinking. Also, leisure education can make up for the shortcomings of the existing education, so as to cultivate creative thinking more effectively. The aim of leisure education is to achieve the ″realm″, while the specific content of leisure education can inspire the ″tactics″ of creative thinking. In order to adapt to the development requirements of the creative time and to cultivate talents with creative mind, it is necessary to develop leisure education. The ″realm″ of creative thinking refers to a state of clarity, which is similar to removing the shadow of the real world through ″Insight″ or ″Inspiration″, so as to open and highlight the nature and the best state of all things. The ″realm″ of creative thinking embraces three features: unrestrained, free, and self-complacent, which lead to creation and self-realization. Due to the pressure and constraints from life and culture, man is not born free, but creative mind gives us relative freedom, so that we can enjoy freedom in the imaginary world, in the creative thinking activities of literature, art or science and technology, so that the spirit can be liberated, the freedom and the creation of the mind can integrate. The ″tactics″ of creative thinking refers to the specific way of thinking to solve problems. The ″tactics″ of creative thinking is endowed with three features too: novelty, diversity and gain. Creative thinking is different from the way of thinking which is stereotyped. It is unconventional and innovative. The result of creative thinking is that you can see countless answers to a question and provide numerous possibilities for solving the problem. Creative thinking is inseparable from leisure. First, leisure provides the basis for stimulating creative thinking beyond time and space. Second, leisure provides spiritual connotation and thought for creative thinking. The shortcomings of current education suppress the development of creative thinking. Education is supposed to be a process of demasking. In the process of enlightenment, people can find themselves, improve themselves and realize their natural authentic state. They can freely exert the power of thinking and then create and make things happen. However, the direction of the existing education is deviated, which is not conducive to inspiring people's imagination and creativity and hindering the play of the creative mind. Leisure education enables people to make better use of leisure and play a positive role in the creative mind. Leisure education's self-orientation and free exploration can make up for the shortcomings of the existing education reality, breaking the oppression and bondage of conventional education thinking, and encourage real free-exploration. The aim of leisure education is to achieve the ″realm″ of creative thinking. First, leisure education helps people to know themselves, to get rid of bondage, and truly possess the essence of self-freedom, thus caters to the freedom of the ″realm″ of the creative mind. Second, leisure education guides people to stimulate vitality in leisure, improve creativity, thus addresses to the creation of the ″realm″ of the creative mind. Third, leisure education promotes people to know themselves, to release themselves, thus to the self-realization of the ″realm″ of the creative mind. The content of leisure education inspires the ‘tactics' of the creative mind. First, leisure education cultivates the scientific concept of leisure, views leisure from a new perspective, and inspires a new perspective of ″tactics″ of the creative mind. Second, leisure education promotes and improves the leisure choice ability of the public, helps people find the diversity of leisure and choose the most suitable leisure activity, thus inspire the diversity of ″tactics″ of the creative mind. Third, leisure education cultivates the public's leisure knowledge and skills, improves the leisure effect, and thereby realizes the gain of ″tactics″ of the creative mind.
