Ontology know the world though the initial existence of the source of the thing itself with its own feelings、intuition、experience, which is put aside the historical burden and cultural burden. In modern society, the "madman" and "mental illness" are cultural symbols of the madness, which often cover the original real conditions with inert strength of stereotypes. From the perspective of the ontology, this article get rid of the symbolic shelter for the madman in the new era novel, re-explore the ontology significance of such literary works and the real situation of such vulnerable groups in modern society, and stretch out their human vigor and spiritual power.The introduction makes an initial definition of the madness strictly, that is, a non-congenital mental illness depending on civilization which is offer the range and trade-off standard for this paper. Next, taking the existential thought of Heidegger as perspective and seeing the madness as the dynamic beings in their survival activities, this paper will make discussion through madness’s real survival situations.Taking some works which descript madman’s image and time life as example, such as Yu Hua’s<1986>、Gu Hua’s<Hibiscus Town>、Su Tong’s<Wives and Concubines>、Zhang Jie’s<No Word>、Xu Xiaobin’s <Plumed Serpent> and son on, the first chapter discusses the madness motive formation and the existence of origin in civil society through their mutative survival activities and the social relationships with other ones."Invisible confinement" is an destined fate of the insane people, some works just take this subject as their theme, such as Ge Fei’s<Poem of Fool>、Chi Zijian’s<The Xiao Mopan in the Madhouse>、Xu Xiaobin’s<A Survey of Psychiatric Patient>、Su Tong’s<The Mad Mother on the Bridge>, and so on. Taking the Psychiatric hospital’s survival activities as a special living condition with madman’s emotional state, the second chapter descript madman’s special situation under their symbol names. Such unique survival situation and emotional state of alienation is the potential reason of mental patients.The third chapter discusses the deep integration of man and its living conditions by madman’s metaphysical fear. There are many novels about metaphysical fear, such as Can Xue’s<The House in The Mountain>、 Old Clouds>, Yu Hua’s<A Kind of Reality>.<The Events of April3>, and so on. There are also many works show human power which is under metaphysical fear on the moment of insane, such as Song Lian in the <Wives and Concubines>, Wu Wei in the<No Word>. The madness has been demonstrated profoundly through this metaphysical fear——one is its nature of existence:the deep integration of man and living conditions; the other is its original nature:the human power behind weird face.Left the basic dimensions of the existing literature also left its own nature. Some writers, such as Xue Xiaobin、Su Tong、Yu Hua、Can Xue、 Zong Pu、Zhang Jie, show the real living conditions to the reader with the existence of dimension and the true details."Madness" in such works did not lose their rich colors of humanity with their derogatory name. Unlocking madman layers of shelters, writers show many "go insane" live life full of human humanity; at the same time, writers also lead us to approach the living conditions of the madness, put aside old stereotypes and vulgarity, re-listen their life and death、love and will, and re-explore their real living conditions covered by their name.
