Summary: Wangguowei is a well-known scholar in modern times in china. He researches into Chinese and western culture in light of the studying idea of "combine Chinese and western" and the "visionary world" theory is a instance of the studying idea. He explains the aesthetic category that is Chinese traditional "visionary world" using aesthetic idea of Kant and Schopenhauer. And then, the "visionary world" as a aesthetic category shows more inherent indelible lights. The "visionary world" theory of Wangguowei has system and connotation itself, involving aesthetic psychology, aesthetic ideal and value, aesthetic creation, art style and human dignity, rising and declining of genre, change of genre and so on. In this thesis, the "visionary world" is demonstrated only as ontology of art and literature and its connotation is explained applying the composition of "image" and "concept". The ontology of art and literature has been seen several pattern on its history of development and the pattern of development is different between Chinese and western. As ontology of art and literature, the "visionary world" different from western, it come from Chinese traditional ontology of art and is essential of Chinese aesthetic idea. The "visionary world" theory displays many facets of rules about art and literature while "visionary world" is thought of as ontology of art and literature. Ontology means the origin and ultimate value of existence of everything. The "visionary world" is ontology of art and literature because it displays the origin andultimate value of existence of art. By means of discussing a series of relation about art and idea, the first form and the second form, real scenery and real emotion, separated and non-separated, visionary world of the people and visionary world of poet, Wangguowei reveals whole rules of "visionary world" which is seen as ontology of art. Art and literature has "visionary world" as its ontology, it is perfect combination of the first form and the second form, it is symbol expressing unlimited in limited image, it is vivid things which can been directly perceived through senses, it exists both for standing aloof of poet and for vicissitudes of the people, it leads to secret world of life, it concerns universe and human life with "humor" spirits, ultimate value of art and literature is here. When the "visionary world" has been thought of as ontology of art, we can avoid this one-sidedness which only defines art according to one facet of art and avoid to value this and ignore that or value that and ignore this. Varied elements of art compose perfect work of art when "visionary world" be formed. The form of "visionary world" results in mobilizing varied factor of art, it represents that art has the highest esthetic value. This is not one-sidedness standard and not one standard which can be judged by one defined head-noun, this is a kind of combinative shape and we can only judge it through esthetic experience. Wangguowei pursues the ontology of life through art, he think that displaying the ontology of life, it is the first truth of art. Therefore, the "visionary world" is either ontology of art or ontology of life, it embodies the pursuit to the highest esthetic ideal of art and life. The "visionary world" is the highest esthetic ideal of art, it is the highest esthetic ideal of life too. It tell us that both art and life can not be fixed by one head-noun, art and life shows varied pattern they existed fully and they unique "visionary world" through experiencing freely. They are of continuity between the "visionary world of art" and the "visionary world of life". The "poetic live" is that "visionary world of art" exists in "visionary world of life", the "visionary world of art" is art expression of "visionary world of life". The art exists on its particular way, it is of continuity with "visionary world of life", on the other hand, it is of independence.
