The Structuralist Poetics is exactly established on such a rigid view and reflection of the structuralism. Away from the French Structuralists but also be deeply affected by them, Jonathan Culler and Yuri Lotman moved the focus back on the transformation of the structure thinking, which gave a new vision to pursue the meaning of the literature texts. We can not,in fact, deal with the meaning issue face to face. So to bring the structure thinking to literary texts is to establish the conditions for the presentation of meaning, rather than get an exact meaning contention which takes the structure thinking as analytic tool. Structuralist Poetics is intended to explore how to grab and get this pre-existing meaning that among the various elements and perceived literary activities and the process is what illustrate. The Structuralist Poetics focus on the structure transformation between the ideology and content which including the interconversion from natural language to literature language and mutual translation between inner and outer texts. We can’t talk about the ideology-content without the related structure. This also avoids the shortcoming of the reflection and expression says. On the other hand, the process of readers getting the significance is their own "structural capacity", which means the reading structure formed in the reading process ensure the reflux significance.Structuralist Poetics emphasize the alternate translation process of the structural thinking, and in the dimension of the structure, whether the ideology-content or the “structural capacity” of readers, language participate in every transformation, hence we must pay attention to the language which takes an important role in the structure. On the other hand, as to the complexity of meaning itself, Structuralist Poetics selects to explain the mechanism of the generation of meaning. So the source of the meaning is what we can not lay aside and the Structuralist Poetics should also further explain. This also relates to the relationship between language and structure and, in fact, the concern of language issue has always been inseparable from structuralism and structural thinking.The original meaning in terms to a variety of creative activities typically present in human’s language symbols or language behaviors which is unique to human beings. Language has the direct important role in shaping human beings’ view of the world, and even the unconscious mind. In the macro level, the language’s direct role in shaping is the formation of different ethnic regional cultures, in the micro level is the formation of a personal point of view thus the different internal psychological structures. At the same time, the "language",as an intermediary fact between world and human beings, has rhetorical features at the beginning. And when we use the natural language and bring it into the literature text which as the second mode level, thus turn it to the literature language, which in turn to make its beginning rhetoric features more strongly. In a result it makes the meaning presents smart diversification.Now, the first three parts of the paper describes the thinking of structure, the establishment of the Structuralist Poetics and investigates the problem of the structure- language, which trying to render the new perspective to view meaning of literary texts in the "structure" dimension. As the end of the forth part of the paper is to summarize the relationship between "structure" and the structure language problems based on the meaning of the literature texts. The priority of the overall structure principle makes us know the independence and uniqueness of the various constituent elements of literary activities. At the same time in the conjunction of mutual translation between structures, no matter authors and readers can instantly awareness the generation of various meanings. However, language, as the structural element, is ready to break this seemingly stable whole structure and meaning, especially to the literary text which is the language art, the whole genre of language and sometimes revolting the daily ideology make people eventually acknowledge the update and sublimation of meaning in the process of hard polish of language. Thus, in the vision of structure, the meaning problem is the problems that how literary texts show, the origin of the source, and the forever going and updating between the inside and outside texts. From the perspective of "transformation" rather than an accurate perspective to pursue the "meaning" is what the structure thinking enlighten us.
