In both the Chinese and foreign literature and the history of literary criticism, things always occupy a very important position and it involved in the production of literary significance, because of that materiality are the value and the external reference system of literature since ancient times. However, the relationship between literature and material has been affected by economic base and superstructure in literary theory and criticism studies, and scholars always regard material culture with suspicion and wariness, As a result, the material in literature and literary theory are thoughtlessly excluded or overlooked, and rarely think in terms of multi-dimensional sight, or to reflect the position of material culture. Since the 20th century, philosophers and scholars have turned their attention to the material study, from multi-field, multi-angle, multi-level attention to pursue research of the material in literature and art, showing a new trend of research called the poetics of materiality,which was regarded as one of the potential trends in literary theory. At the same time, because the term "Materiality" have absorpted complexity, paradox, ambiguity meaning in the development process, it is also a challenges in cultural studies and literary theory criticism.In recent years, the relationship between literature and material gradually got the attention and further questioning by some scholars, making it to be faced and unfolding, which has been ignored in the history of Literary theory, and a further study has been started. Based on this, the framework to be determined on the basis of previous studies. We take literature research, interdisciplinary study and theory research as the main research methods and attempt to use "material’s Re-enchantment and litery theories of Materiality" as the theme, try to discuss from theoretical background, the content dimension, the value of significance.
