Abstract:Romanticism is the first revolt against modernity which reflects, criticizes and transcends the modern enlightenment with the aesthetic of life world and poetic of individual life. For doing that, it presents multiple contradictions of individualism and humanitarian, noble spirit and civilians consciousness, temporality and eternal, socialist ethics and history, percept and ration. ideal and reality, self and society form, theoretical pursuit and art practice. Investigating its reason, it decides on the two sides of romanticism. On one hand, it takes forward the modern ideas like ration, enlightenment, civilization and progress, on the other hand, when the above ideas become new tradition and new myths, it takes strong criticism against the new tradition and new myths. Because the romanticism itself is a multiple antinomy phenomenon, it shows its rich and numerous connotations, and as an important aesthetic category and one of the major literary and artistic ideas constantly, it produces profound effect.
