After new-culture movement, entering china along with the West literary criticism terminology, romanticism is applied by each kind of research work widely. Besides romanticism's some general character, China's romanticism also has its own characteristics, people may call it the Chinese primary romanticism. The Chinese primary romanticism poetry overall follow the same law of development with West's romanticism poetry , they both have experienced the transformations to modern poem characteristics i.e. aestheticism and symbolism, Li He and Keats respectively is Chinese and the English representative personage of this kind of transformation. This article study Lihe's poetry from the big background the transformations from romanticism to aestheticism and symbolism to aestheticism, and compare it with Keats'poetry. The author thought Li He and Keats'similarity, lies not merely in the work content, the style and the rhetoric technique, looking from deeper one, they both have inherited and developed romanticism technique, also have advancing, have the symbol and only the beautiful tendency, but this is related with the psychology which created with theirs special situation , their unsimilarity, besides experience different, also is closely linked with the different cultural tradition they inherited.This article altogether is divided into three parts, the first part outlines the definition, the origin and the characteristics of romanticism in Western and in England; analysis has the Chinese primary romanticism poetry's origin, development vein and characteristics; points out Li He and Keats'special status in the Chinese and British romanticism poetry history. The second part mainly studies Lihe's poetry from romanticism this angle of view; discusses the special psychology by the psycho-analysis method which Li He's special life circumstances create, this kind of psychology's influence to the formation of his philosophy esthetics thought , to his poetry subject choice and artistic style; take the text analysis as the center, inspects Li's inherit ion and development to the front generation of romanticism poet and his advances'significance in the Chinese romanticism poetry development course and its influence to the posterity . The author thought in China's romanticism tradition, Li He's independent consciousness is stronger than the romanticism poet before, his vision more moves towards the innermost feelings from the outside, transforms from the meritorious achievements attention to individual life consciousness, therefore his poetry has achieved a deeper level to the psychological world performance. When his thoughts to the life, the existence, the God ponder cannot obtain the answer, he has not attached in Taoism, Buddhist's religious doctrine, gathers one, void or in the fantasy in the beauty seeks the extrication. He saw clearly the fairyland fabrication, was retaining calmly in front of his own imagination world and an aloof contemplation, this kind sober despaired constituted his poetry's dreary background. In prison which casts by his own pain, he puts the complete painstaking care to art , Li He's poetry, while has perfectly manifested romanticism poetry's characteristics, starts to have one kind of new esthetics factor : firm sharp, succinct and elusive unreal coexisting. The sentiments In his poem has the distortion and the distortion, the nature in his eye caught the chilly imaginary blurred color, the fairyland he construct with imagines also its own characteristics: a splendid view with the death's strong aspire which can drive a person to be mad, manifested the symbolism and aestheticism poetry's certain characteristics, was turning point in Chinese romanticism poetry. In the completely isolated environment, it is in harmony with the modernist school poetry convoy. It is related with the special psychology and his miserable circumstances in Tang's social environment, also is an inevitable link in the romanticism development.The third part depends on the text analysis, compares Li He with John·Keats from romanticism development transition this angle of view, separated from simple appending, thinking Li He and Keats has the common place in-depth, they both has represented the romanticism's turning to aestheticism and symbolism , they both take thought to imagine and to create in esthetics, their work both took the pursue to art as the goal, their poetry all have rich imagination, the diverse style, the language fining magnificent , the attention on sense description, performance complex inner world characteristic with symbolism. As a result of the difference of individual bitter experience, the social environment and the inheritance cultural tradition , there are also many differences between them which manifested the Chinese and British two different cultures and literature traditions'influence to the poets'creation and growth .
