There have been three Nietzsche craze in Chinese academic circles,and in the third craze(1985-1989),research on the language problem of Nietzsche began to appear.Foreign scholars mainly grasp Nietzsche’s subversion of the rational foundation of metaphysics,and regard Nietzsche’s language thought as a auxiliary means of revealing morality,Christianity and reason.They discuss Nietzsche’s language thought from three levels: philosophy,semantics and rhetoric.In contrast,domestic scholars mostly analyze the ideology of Nietzsche’s rhetoric from the analysis of the characteristics of "ambiquity" and "metaphor" of Nietzsche’s language thought.This thesis studies Nietzsche’s language thought from the level of rhetoric,and studies Nietzsche’s language thought from a special level of rhetoric.From the analysis of the special rhetorical form of "esotericism",we first understand the esotericism production,expression form,theoretical basis,etc.,and then use esotericism as a tool to clarify the connotation of Nietzsche’s philosophy.The content of the article is divided into four parts.The first part clarifies what is a esotericism.By combing the historical origins of esotericism,the specific performance of esotericism in Plato,Aristotle,and Cicero’s works is analyzed in detail,and there is an overall understanding of philosophical esotericism.Through further exploration,we understand the theoretical basis of the implicit generation and the four basic types of esotericism.The second part mainly analyzes Nietzsche’s philosophical language style at the verbal level.The purpose is to see how the philosophical esotericism is embodied in Nietzsche’s language.Two methods are used.One is to analyze the performance of Nietzsche’s language at the level of metaphor;the other is to analyze the embodiment of Nietzsche language at the level of rhetoric.Through the description of the external reasons of Nietzsche’s writing and the inevitability of the requirements of the inner thoughts,it further reveals the reasons and essence of Nietzsche’s esotericism of philosophy.The third part analyzes the connotation of Nietzsche’s philosophical thoughts with esotericism as a tool.Firstly,it analyzes the source of Nietzsche’s philosophical thoughts.Then,taking Nietzsche’s masterpiece " Thus Spoke Zarathustra" as an example,it reveals the growth of Nietzsche’s thought and sees it clearly.The focus of Nietzsche’s language thoughts is the meaning of "overman",“will to power","eternal recurrence",and understand the implicit meaning of Nietzsche’s thought.Further use esotericism to explore the external manifestations and inner essence of Nietzsche’s thoughts on "creation","freedom" and "God is dead",and to understand the role of esotericism in Nietzsche’s language.The fourth part analyzes the reasons why modern esotericism is revisited,and gives the general method of using implicit micro-reading;then it is the great influence and significance of Nietzsche’s rhetoric language on later philosophers.
