According to the western tragedy theory, from the aspects relating philosophy analysis about literary tragedy and the tragedy spirit , this article trys to compare the difference between China traditional culture tragedy consciousness and Western tragedy spirit in the literature performance , the cultural function and the philosophy stratification , in order to research the performance way of tragedy consciousness under the Chinese traditional culture background and the characteristics of Chinese culture and Chinese philosophy, for making some explorations to enrich the Chinese tragedy culture.The use of word tragedy can be divide into common term of the realistic life and special term of drama. The tragedy as a kind of play is defined by the nature of conflict of the drama, the character's pitiful fate in tragic and the effects of the play. As the reflections of the tragedy is the realistic tragedy, its core is the nature of tragedy, the tragedy brings pities of the feeling and honors of the high sensitivity for the human, the ideal theatrical effects from tragedy is rousing of human spirit and purification of human mind.The western tragedy spirit refers to the confrontation and transcendent spirit, in face of pitiful fate such as death, the deconstruction of value and so on. It has manifested human's value and dignity, and mainly reflects in western tragedy. Its development is closely linked with the history of western philosophy thinking, has manifested the promotion of human cognitive ability from western philosophy epistemology tradition, the attention to human's freedom and significance from non- rationalism philosophy, as well as the critique of human's dissimilation and search for the human's essence and free from Marxism.The Chinese traditional culture lacks such tragedy spirit, this does not mean the Chinese traditional culture does not have the tragedy consciousness. In this article tragedy consciousness is refers to the tragedy feeling reflected in China literary work such as the traditional culture poem, word, prose, play, which reflect people's reality pitiful circumstances and so on. Chinese philosophy in identity theory stands for "harmony with God," and is basically not against conflict, disaster, nihility and thus it basically attenuated the conflict between subject and object, as well as the conflict between friendly and evil, soul and human body. It has created that the tragedy type in the China traditional culture mainly is daily occasional tragedy, displays the unfortunate bitter experience, the pitiful destiny in the daily life. Therefore, Chinese traditional culture tragedy consciousness is short of understanding about the multiplicity and complexity from the conflict or opposition in ontology, and lacks the thoroughly exploration spirit, the publicity for the individual, the deliberate pursuit of perfection in the theory of value.In the process of exchange between China and West culture, we should see that one of the western thought origins was the tragedy spirit that constituted the important essence of western culture, it has contained the deeply reflection of human destiny and human circumstances, the emphasis of individual will, has contained the profound contents in epistemology and axiology.
