Liang Shiqiu is regarded as a famous modern literature critic, essayist, translator and scholar, his humanism life and art pursuit is still of value that can not be neglected, the key of his humanism, if we use one word to sum up, is rational, moderate spirit and ethical, balanced pith. To Liang Shiqiu, from five different sides the paper expounds the life philosophy, the meaning of human nature, the literature opinion, the literature criticism opinion and the practice and achievement of essay and art. On life philosophy, depending on west humanism, Liang Shiqiu's thought of Confucianism is meaningful and profound, he is diligent in human nature, and has achieved to a gentle perfection. His life philosophy includes Confucianism controlling oneself and observing polite ways, up and coming;Lao Zhuang's hide and tranquility, self adaptive in different to fame or benefit;Buddhism's enlightened mind for human nature, satisfactory of mentality and action;west philosophy's rational moderation, grace and leisure. In another word, it is the uniformity of ethic and rational, the uniformity of idea and reality, the uniformity of scholar and gentleman. On human nature, he insists on that it is solid, normal, general, and it is not different at all times and in all lands;it is the harmonious uniformity of rational and ethic;it embodies a perfect human spirit that excels all classes. On literature opinion, he stresses that the fundamental nature of literature is imitating life, describing normal, solid, general human nature. The imitative literature has to go through imaginative and comprehensive veil, and the imagination is restricted and limited. The fundamental task of literature is to make the effect of ethic, literature and moral not come into conflict with each other, and reach harmonious uniformity. Except for giving readers good feelings, the purpose of literature is to give readers more serious and lofty moved. Literature is freedom and independent, it does not reflect times, it is not a political tool, and even not the production of classes;literature art should insist on the principle of religious and ethic, the principle of rational and restrained, the principle of choosing and cutting. On criticism opinion, he thinks that the nature of literature criticism is judgment, recognizing is choosing and distinguishing, judging is to fix the value of classes. General and genuine human nature is the only standard of literature criticism, the task of literature criticism is the judgment of value, and the center of perpetual human good andbeauty is the measures of this value. The critics should look on the literary criticism as a study and make a study of it with great concentration, and they should put a lot of work into the two aspects of learning and thought. Furthermore, it is the most important to apply the literary criticism in the works. He devoted his efforts to fight against literature criticism of weltering in relative and flowing philosophy impressionism and analyzing science through environment -. timesN mental analysiSN economic and so on that is beyond books. On essay writing, he practice his literature and art opinion which is to chant or satire the normal human nature which mainly include the sincere feelings, the understand of life, the elegance spice and the satire to normal people. His essays melted life distinguish, wisdom of bearing oneself and refined strain, and contained the art character of good and beauty, that showed specifically the character of neat and elegance> humor and good-naturen numerous and ricru genuine and moderation good feelings.On the nature, Liang Shiqiu's thought of life and art is from normal human nature to precipitate, and to sublimate, as a conservative intellectual he appeared in the modern literature and art history of China. With no doubt, in non-mainly streaming and freedom literature river, his thought of literature and art is remarkable and coherent, contains the character of clam, clear and justice that are lack of in main stream of literature and art thought in his times;to his essays, the meanings are rich and numerous, literature meanings are deep, neat and clear, meaningful and profound, we can say that they are too gorgeous to unadorned, we are difficult to find the writers who apart from him. However, Liang Shiqiu is not perfect, he was biased when he criticized the faults of the mainly streaming modern literature;at the same time he is not qualified as a modern scholar, especially after entering into Sichuan province and Taiwan province, his mission and participation to the society and country are not enough. The position of Liang Shiqiu is lower than the position of those great persons who had real creativity, and left integral and perpetual value works. But he was still a master, his thoughts and works, which need to taste slowly, can creative an indelible soul, China can not bear the value of forgetting him.
