That is such a colorful world where we live, which presents red flowers, green willows, blue oceans and sky, obviously, objectives in our life always shape themselves with colors. Colors exist so generally in our daily life that we could say like this: as the nature is where human beings'lives originate and return, the lives begin and end with the colors as well. Human being's fondness of the color is a kind of universal esthetic sense, because colors can touch human's heart directly through physical and psychological ways, moreover, human's esthetic senses are expressed much plentifully and delicately by using colors. Generally speaking, it is the color that infuses vivid and colorful essential qualities to all lives in this world. Therefore, on the basis of the comprehension of the color's mysterious charm, the color description turns out to be an essential method to express emotions and ideas in the literary work.During this research, the analysis of the color's meaning is studied as breakthrough point, and the study is emphasized on how the color is produced and used in the literature by analyzing some literary work details. Additionally, the differences of color applications in literature and painting art are compared, and then the former's transcendent aspects are explained.The introduction elaborates the reason for choosing this topic, the value and aim of the research as well as the predecessor's research results, which reveals the necessity and importance of the investigation on this topic. Furthermore, the introduction also presents a general discussion and explanation of this research. The five major chapters of this article are as follows:Partâ… : Study on the foundation of color using in literature, this part is the fundament of the whole text elaboration, in the purpose of explaining the writer's foundation and the source of color cultural psychology, and paving the way for the following investigation theoretically.Partâ…¡: Study on the psychological mechanism how colors generate in literature. Although the color in literary works generates from objectives in natural and social life, it barely means the objective color itself in original state or its simple stack. The process that color transforms the physical phenomenon to psychological phenomenon is nature's cultural humanity process. It is also the process that art is formed, which means the natural color esthetic induces the color sensation of the esthetic main body and further the writer's esthetic feeling and esthetic imagination, therefore, it is a quite complicated physical and psychological interaction supplementary process, and writers take color as a kind of meaningful form to give us a complex space for seeking and explaining.Partâ…¢: Esthetic analysis on colors'application in literature. The color in literary work is the artistic reflection of infinite universal colorful world. The ingenious use of color language art in literary work plays a significant role on strengthening the literary work artistic power whenever depicting human beings and scenes in ideal circumstance, or expressing emotions and the thoughts.Part IV: Study on the color esthetic principles in creating literature. As"the most popular form of esthetic sense", the appropriate coordination of colors can present variously gorgeous, vivid touching drawings, which expresses the main body's emotion and arouses the intense esthetic effect. Furthermore, the writers aren't supposed to use the color in the literary work casually or pursue aimless color stimulation. The writer should utilize each artistic method to mix the colors carefully on the esthetic level, in order to improve artistic expressing ability.Part V: Study on the superiority of color in literature. After all, Poetry and paintings are two different kinds of arts, and each has its specific esthetic principles. Because the literature is the art of language, it generally arouses reader's imagination through the nuance of color words, however, the imagination world is incomparably broad, which may break through all limitation of any space or time. According to our own feelings, we may run freely and quickly in the colorful imagination world. Therefore, the color description in literature has much more esthetic functions which painting colors may not have, for instance, the color's effects of animation and synesthesia, the ability for the subjective color to stand for objective things and also in the back way as well.It is pointed out in the epilogue that the gorgeous color world in literature is a new domain which has unique esthetic significance, and it also means a new angle of view on studying the literature value to explore the esthetic characteristic in color world. Therefore, it is of great necessity for us to make a systematic investigation on the fragmentary research of the color phenomenon in ancient and modern literary works from both China and abroad, which forms a specific research area. I believe that it will be important for literary creation and theory construction as well as the aesthetic appreciation.
