The discourses about " human " are one of the main discourses in the literary creation in the 20th century China. From the May Fourth New Cultural Movement to the humanistic trend in the beginning of the New Period, Modern Chinese intellectuals have been devoting to constructing "Supreme Human". However, The old humane mythologies were deconstructed in the vanguard novels in the late eighties. Vanguard writers hold high the irrational flag, stand away from the sociology and culturology in the past literary creation, and observed human and his being state form the angle of noumenonn. They made the theme to a greatest depth that has ever been known through individual reasoning by discovering the state of being and its substance, concerning the state of being under the irrational condition, and finding out the pathway to helping the human itself out of plight. Vanguard novels paved a way to a better understanding of human itself by discovering and disenchanting of the human and its being state. The vanguard is not only representative's the fashion qualities of art, but also the pioneers in spirit.
