    In mid-twentieth-century Chinese literature existed three kinds of modernism,i.e.exterior modernism,Shanghai modernism and academic modernism.Shen Congwen was a pioneer of the last kind.Though emerging under the influence of exterior modernism,China’s academic modernism was unique in character.It was different from Shanghai modernism ,and its typical works included Shen’s “Fengzi”,“Gazing at Rainbows”,“Water and Clouds”and other stories.These works fully revealed one aspect of Shen’s modernist characteristics,from their subject matter to  techniques.Although they were“not mainstream literature”,they encouraged a coming generation of modernist poets and fiction writers.

    The 70 years’ study of Border Town by foreign scholars can be concluded into three types:pastoral song——view of Chinese image;tragedy——view of fate;and symbol —— view of the original shape.The foreign scholars think that Border Town is a perfect picture of human sensibilities,showing the pure Chinese image;a holly love song ending in sad tune;and that the “death and birth” in the novel is full of symbolic meaning and it “exists for the original shape”.

    The historical view of humanism overturned the view of “gods” and “God” and constructed the view of “humanity”.However,history itself was regarded as a process of “man—non-man—man”.The historical materialism “drew back” the abstract “human nature” of humanism from the speculative brain-world and put it into the “rough material world”,analyzing the “human nature” in a concrete producing and communicating process of human,by which it was founded that it was the realistic production and communication of man that constructed our history.In this way,the scientific view to explain history was set and the historical view of humanism was surpassed.

    Starting on a particular time,Schiller’s conception of aesthetic education was deeply influenced by traditional philosophy ideas.The aesthetic kingdom that Schiller tried to establish was to save the increasingly ruined spirit and realize the free humanity.Therefore,he protested that perpetual impulse and rational impulse should be combined through “game”,which brought about aesthetic people with healthy personalities,namely,a free people.Schiller’s conception of aesthetic education is complete and has great significance for present education.

    From the point of art,Schiller views aesthetic feeling,not moral,as the aim of tragedy,while moral is the way to achieve aesthetic feeling.The moral concept of tragedy is realized in contradictory conflicts of different aims,which is the foundation for Hegel’s tragedy conflict theory.Meanwhile,tragedy is different from other art forms,whose moral and rational aims are realized through the form of tragedy of itself.

    Schiller’s On Passion and other words scattered in various articles about passion not only refuted neo-classicism which did not show the truth of humanity and created passion for the purpose of passion,but also gave a deep illustration of passion as to its types,performance,its significance to the perfection of humanity,and its relationship with tragedy and loyalty.His view of passion,by combing passion,tragedy,and loyalty,discarded Plato’s and Longinus’ passion theory,and put passion into aesthetic field and human world from the dark learning of metaphysics,thus it has great significance in linking between the preceding and the following in western aesthetic history.
