The track of social seems like this : "The harmony of nature-man of pre-subjectivity-~the harmony of nature-man of post-subjectivity " . or like thus : "Not only the orient but also the west , they both are undergoing or are to undergo the development course from the ancient harmony (before the ancient harmony, there is a primitive phase of pre-aesthetic ) though the modern sublimity (includes ugliness and absurdness) and to the dialectical harmony , it's the common law of mankind's aesthetic history, which is objective and un-violable , no one can escape from it! Our present era is just in a turning point from the world of ugliness and absurdness to the development of the "dialectical harmonious world , or the turning point from the separation of subject and object to the development of the harmony of nature-man Consequently, sociology, aesthetics and philosophy are all making inquiries into this theme , namely making inquiries into the question abut how to transform , of course, above all we must understand what's the connotation of 'the dialectical harmony ' ,'the harmony of nature-man of post-subjectivity' , then shoot the arrow at the target , decide on measures to solve problems according to specific circumstances, find out-the way of realizing it from theory and practice.The ideal usually emerges from the inadequate of reality, so do 'the dialectical harmony' and 'the harmony of nature-man of post-subjectivity'. As the third development phase, they should assimilate the advantages and overcome their shortcomings of the former two phases, therefore it should assimilate the principles of the ancient harmony and the modern individuality, The former is the main aesthetic trend of the ancient society, and the latter is a reactionary to the burying of individuality of the ancient harmonious society, which takes shape the aesthetic forms of sublimity (ugliness and absurdness ) etc. they are destruction to the harmonious principle, which explain the contradiction between the ancient harmony and the pursuit of individuality since the modern times. But the both aesthetic patterns all are the pursuits of the present people, harmony is the healthy guarantee of social development, and individuality is a Narcissistic complex which people can't give up, so 'the dialectical harmony ' or 'the harmony of nature-man of post-subjectivity' is to set up on the basis of the both : It can not only assure man's individuality but also not cause the oppression, conflict and antagonism between individuals. How do we establish the agreeable point? It's almost a conduct of high-wire walking.It is impossible to think that the high-wire walking is a way of the golden mean, for with regard to concepts such as 'the harmony of nature-man' and 'individuality ',_ we only have a roughly view : 'harmony' is no contradiction , but what's the harmonious basis ? The ancient harmony suppresses man's realistic existence, which is a harmony of internal suppressing, there are no reciprocal statuses between nature and man, therefore it's not real harmony, otherwise why people resist it ? People have emphasized man's egotism and individuality since modern times, but the result is that the individuality always face the threat of being suppressed, therefore the meaning of the individuality is worthy of probing into, what we need is that every one has his own individuality, then what individuality can express this meaning? In fact, the actual realization of individuality and harmony should be identical, therefore only on this basis, the dialectical harmony is really dialectical and individuality is really the individuality. The two questions seemed contradictory are actually two aspects of one question , then ifwe explain one of them, the other is also readily solved . Finally , the question is summed up as thus: If we want to realize^ the real harmony, what individuality should be needed ?This article answers the question, from why do the ancient harmony disintegrate and investigate why do people miss harmony after they lost it?
