Nietzsche is one of the greatest ideologists of the nineteenth century, but the strong transcendence in his thought determines that he belongs to the twentieth century. During the course of only fifty-six, he carries out researches involved all aspects of the Western ideology and culture, and has direct influence on western ideology, what Nietzsche philosophy focuses on is the philosophical meaning of human life, which is very different from previous Western philosophies, thus determines the subversive sense he has. At the same time, both the poetic language embodied in Nietzsche philosophy and the large thought framework he constructs gives rise to the artistic temperament of his philosophy, which is not only the unique charm but also the difficulty in understanding Nietzsche’s thought. There are already many researches in studying Nietzsche at home and abroad for his profound and rich thought. And more and more people can learn the essence of his thought. However, people begin to pay attention to the shortcomings of Nietzsche’s thought. Which derives great significance on extant thoughts for the transcendence and complexity of his thought, therefore it remains to be a difficult but meaningful task to do research on Nietzsche’s thought.This paper is mainly focus on categorizing and deepening Nietzsche’s thought based on his life philosophy, that is,"creativity" is the essence of the strong will."Creativity", is one of the most important threads in understanding the life philosophy of Nietzsche. By this thread this paper carries out a systematic research to originally loose thought, which makes my study more close to the essence of his thought. Among the thoughts of "tragic spirit","three change of spirit","the will to power","superman" and "eternal recurrence", creativity is the only thread going through all his thought. The best interpretation for Nietzsche to describe life is that life is creativity. The vitality of life symbolizes the powerful creativity of human beings without no change.This article is divided into five major parts:The introduction part expounds the concept of life philosophy and the relationship between the "strong will" and "creativity", which is the core of the thought of Nietzsche. Moreover, this part provides the present study on his thought at home and abroad, and the significance of choosing this subject, which lays a valid foundation for the following parts.The first part focuses on the idea of "creativity" which is the philosophical subject of his thought, how he understands "creativity" and the difference between his theory and other philosophers, analyzes the relationship between the key image "superman" and "creator", and figures out the necessary conditions for the creative subject "creator" to accomplish the creativity of human being with full life and free spirit.The second part discusses the ways for creators to accomplish "creativity", to achieve the self-surpass, and to be the judge of value under certain conditions. At the same time, such a process of accomplishing "creativity" is accompanied by contradictories within various complex factors, it is in this process of contradictory transformation can the "creativity" become more powerful. This part also traces back to the origin of the philosophic idea on "creativity" and forms a detailed understanding to the thought of Nietzsche.The third part is focusing on the influence of the philosophical idea "creativity" to the Nietzsche’s thought and examines the relationship between a variety of important ideas,as thus we can tease out the outline of the thought system of Nietzsche and make clear the ideological hierarchy which encloses contrariety and contradictoriness. Hereafter we can have a macro understanding to the thought of Nietzsche on this stage.The conclusion part introspects the limitations of the ideas of Nietzsche’s thought. Only by distinguishing between the positive and negative factors within such a complex framework,we can learn the essence of Nietzsche thought conductively and avoid misunderstanding to his thought. This part also discusses the significance of Nietzsche’s thought for people in attending practical activities and the important influences on next generations.
