In the Chinese modern literary criticism history, Li ChangZhi is a unique artistic theorist. He was deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture. In the western wind blowing to east, he had contacted Western philosophy and had created a unique literary criticism: organic unity and harmony of the body of emotional and rational factors."The model of emotion" is core vocabulary and standard of the literary criticism theory of Li changzhi, which embodies the strict structure of his literary criticism and a wealth of cultural connotations. On this basis, Li ChangZhi had high raised the banner of "the emotional criticism" that means "jumping into the author's world" and "experiencing" the emotion in his works together with the author. The formation of this criticism characteristic is both born of Chinese traditional literary theory and cultural influences, and "ambit theory" of Wang Guowei, and it can not be separated from the influence of the classical philosophers and thinkers of German. "Luxun's criticism" is the classic works of the criticism characteristic."Stiff of Reason" is sign of vocabulary of the growing maturity literary theory of Li ChangZhi. Not only does it embody the principle of literary criticism and the important aspects which his literary criticism goes in for harmony and unity of his emotional and rational, but also self-confidence of critic. "Stiff of Reason" is actually an extension of the critical spirit and the integration awareness of Li ChangZhi literary criticism and reflects the truth-seeking will and rational spirit of a critic. This notion takes shape under the imperceptible influence of Chinese rational traditional Confucian culture and it has also infiltrated an element of Kant's philosophic thoughts. The rethinking and recognition of "the movement happening on forth in May" during anti-Japanese War embody his rational aspect. It also enhances weight for the rational element of his literary criticism. In fact, "Luxun's criticism" contains such a rational criticism factors more or less. "personality and style of Si Maqian" is his mature works combining emotional with rational. It has skeleton and trajectory that his literary criticism has gradually overflowed from the emotions to the rational element. The Anti-Japanese War and the outbreak of World War II are the important changing period. The harmonious and unified criticism model of emotion and ration enabled Li ChangZhi to occupy a space in the Chinese modern literary criticism history.It gives our many contemporary inspiration of the literary criticism theory of Li ChangZhi . His aesthetic criticism of emotion has played the role of correction for contemporary literary criticism of blindly pursuing the logic and thought. " Stiff of Reason " can give reprimanding to the contemporary literary criticism in order to reverse atmosphere of flatter and flattery. If we can really understand the literary criticism theory of Li ChangZhi, we may be able to usher "Renaissance " of the Chinese Contemporary Literary Criticism more quickly.
