The state of the existence of language reflects the state of human being existence, the state of the world existence; and the poetic language can be disclose and light people to existing poetically. To tangle with words and meaning is human being to ask their own and the world they survival in; human's exploration of poetic language is the thinking of how to existing poetically in this world.The Chinese civilization is filling with rich poetic sentiment is precisely because the manifestation of poetic language. Thoughts on words and meaning of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics are embodied in poetic thinking of ancient Chinese. An extensive poetic world that enlarges limitlessly is constructed by its brief and animated poetic language. According to the following reasons, this paper regards the poetic language of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics as object of study, take poetic as a logical start, initiate returning of poetic language. The first is many scholars' blindness superstition, adoration of value modalities of western knowledge and culture in nowadays Chinese academic circles. It leads to the neglecting of poetic meaning in ancient Chinese poetic language. Secondly, acceleration unceasingly in post industry, the prostrate in worship and crazy pursue to the material leads to the poetic of human is continuously losing, and the world that human being exists become a barren and inhospitable desert. To retrieve the balmy homeland of human being and come out of the uncivilized darkness, the only we can do is headed for poetic language with conscious life, which is the most intimate companion of human being at once.This paper is divided into five parts.The first chapter is the Preface which has introduced the related backgrounds of this research, such as the current situation, objective and significance. The second chapter is a summary of the poetic language conception in ancient China.First of all, it defined"poetics"and "poetic quality" which are the two important terms of this paper , in order to avoid a loosely following exposition. And then we come to a conclusion that there is a close correlation between the radiant splendor of the ancient Chinese poetic Language and pictograph. Besides, we also made a further definition of the particular connotation in the two words of the Huaxia living space: "words" and "meaning".Secondly, we discussed some types of the language conception onpoetic quality of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics------"wordsconvey meaning", "words fail in convey meaning "and "finite words while indefinite connotation". These types of language conception are full of the sages' poetic experience of their daily life and the poetic flavor and philosophy thoughts of the aesthetic realm._They are interpenetrative propositions among these types of Language conception which demonstrated rich connotation of the ancient Chinese theory of words and meaning between opposition and amalgamation. After above analyzing, we have got a conclusion that Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics attached great importance and pursuit to poetry and looked forward to the consistency of words and meaning. The Chinese sages' have constructed a poetic ontology of meaning, in lyric speaking they cleared the world and opened selves.In the third chapter, a integrated analysis method is used to discuss the common poetic purport in poetics language conception of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics. The poetic characteristic of poetic language conception of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics is mostly reflected in three ways: the flow of emotion of life experience, emotional and ambiguous language expression and poetic tool of freehand brushwork. The affections is the central point of human's inner life. Emphasis on tender affections makes poetics language of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics profound, sincere and rich in poetic temperament; being fond of instinct thinking makes Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics prefer to sensuality and fuzzy language highlignts a obscure and implied aesthetic feeling; seeking for "poetry" develops into an organum that language completely serves for meaning and endows language profound poetic connotation on the way of seeking life ideal respectively.In the fourth chapter, a comparative study method is used to discuss different poetic indication in poetic language conception of Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics , respectively discriminate poetic difference between "words" and "meaning" endowed by Confucianism Taoism and Metaphysics and different approaches to poetic meaning. Either "words" used by Confucian to construct ontology of life to get the spiritual homeland or "words" used by Taoism to surpass ontology of life shackled by common customs or "words" used by Metaphysics to construct and surpass conformity, all of them use finite words to express endless and profound meaning. Confucian focuses on the poetry of this in the world. Taoism seeks for poetry of that in the world. Metaphysics constructs poetry consisted of affections and wisdom. Although containing different "meaning", they are dense of romantic poetry. Although on the way to poetic dimension, Confucian chose to "establish images", Taoism chose to "forget words", Metaphysics chose to "forget both words and images". They all shine with poetic glory on the way to poetry.The fifth chapter is a conclusion that we reaffirm necessity of returning to poetry from the angle of existentialism.
