This paper wants to understand Wittgenstein's grammar philosophy by the study of his depth grammar theory, through his revealing of the deep grammar to achieve the treatment of the previous philosophy disease and get rid of dictatorship in the theory and prejudice about philosophy and life. In the last part of "Philosophy investigation" emerge the concept "depth grammar" which has great significance for understanding Wittgenstein's philosophy , first of all about compare of the depth grammar and surface grammar , and find this concept which only emerges there has been thought as a potential thought in the middle of his philosophy. After understanding the meaning of depth grammar, referring to further distinguish the grammatical propositions and empirical propositions, and explain the grammatical proposition is the executor of the depth grammar, but also point out that the grammatical propositions and empirical propositions are not entirely separable. Then talk about his well-known private language, criticism of the private language gave birth to the depth grammar deeply under the surface grammar. And people would require the understanding to get into the theory of depth grammar, where Wittgenstein opposed to the view which let understanding correspond to a kind of spiritual process, but that understanding is becoming a part of a kind of life, realize its depth grammar, understanding is gateway to the depth grammar for people, understanding is also the basis for the realization of depth grammar. Then the symbols which constitute the basic elements of propositions were discussed. About the relationship of symbols and grammar, nature of symbols and other issues, illustrates the words as symbols have both a relatively fixed meaning domain and sufficient alteration capacity to complete the task given by depth grammar. However, normally the depth grammar is often overlooked because of people's thinking way of the referring definition, and people have no clear understanding about the root for depth grammar which is day to day life. And Wittgenstein is to use this attention of depth grammar to embody once again the usage and context of the language and way of thinking of language games,get rid of dictatorship so-called Xism in the theory and prejudice about philosophy and life, to achieve a cautious freedom.
