Beat Generation,as the counter-traditional and counter-mainstream cultural phenomenon,can be dated back to late 1940th and early 1950th of last century.Year 2007 saw the 50th anniversary year since the classic works named "On the Road" 's being published and witnessed the international memorial activities due to BG-lovers' enthusiasm.Jack Kerouac,Allen Ginsberg,Gary Snyder,Lawrence Ferlinghetti are representative writers of Beat Generation.They had been always outshining their special but outstanding creativity and wide influence to the world as a whole since their times.We think the special "On the Road" Complex is one of the most significant reasons that contribute to its global influence till today.We will try to demonstrate the "On the Road" Complex from 3 following aspects, named works they created,particular life style and literary poetics concepts they adhered to.As for its formation and development,we will make a trial analysis from several respects regarding social cultural background,Jewish history,migratory tradition since ancient Greek tirnes,bohemian spirit and common complex of human beings as well.It is believed that the cultural exchange and integration between Oriental and western systems will be promoted and facilitated through our joint efforts to make much more thorough study on the BG group and via our endless enthusiasm towards them and their internal spirit.
