The theoretical construction of language-sense and its practice play a most important role in reflecting upon and resolving problems among the Chinese curriculum. The rationalization of the theoretical base on which the language-sense theory study is carrying on, is of urgent theoretical and practical value. Generally speaking, most researchers are busy forming varieties of methods, modes and strategies, and yet few of them show any interest in reflecting upon their own theoretical bases. That is why this thesis is aiming at constructing the theoretical base of the language-sense research.This study consists of two aspects. First, a brief account of the history of the Chinese language-sense study will be given in order to provide a historical background for the contemporary language-sense study; among which, the logical start to construct current language-sense theories may be discovered. Secondly, from the perspectives of aesthetics, semantics and philosophy, the object and subject factors relating to the language-sense will be examined and defined both ultimately and ontologically, so as to provide an opening and multi-dimensioned perspective and platform.This thesis chooses Ecological Synthesis as its ideological background, and Ecological Integration as its thinking method. Thus, it carries out historical summarizing and original inquiring into the early-developed language-sensetheories, and then discovers the Existence Semantics among them. It goes on summarizing the current language-sense study, and then points out the short-comings of their methods and perspectives, and the problems and puzzles existing as well. As a result, it finds out that, to put forward the language-sense discussing, we must not remain on the layer of linguistic semantics, but should go up to the layer of existence semantics. Thus, this paper holds that, the Chinese language-sense not only relates to the sensible intuition, about which much has been discussed, but also relates to the rational intuition, i.e. the existence meaning which reflects the state of being, the condition of living, and the historical intention of the language-human being.Furthermore, this thesis transforms the theory of literature works' structure historically, so as to provide a convincing and opening macro-structure; with which, we can recognize the sensible intuition and the rational intuition properly. The newly-transformed structure shows that, the sensible intuition is determined by the rational intuition; and on the other hand, the rational intuition can not come into being without the sensible intuition. The unfolding of the new structure also shows that:First, the sensible intuition consists of three continued dimensions, i.e. the language-intuition-the sound-sense-the flavor sense. Secondly, to acquire such three sensible intuitions, and to acquire the living meaning on the sense of being, the stylistic language must come into being firstly.Internal Style is regarded as a language-thinking mode, with the literary form as its base, the personal intention as its direction, and the stylized language as its unfolding state. Thus, the macro-structure of the current language-sense theories described preliminarily, is based on a cognitional mode, which possesses the Internal Style as its core, the Literary Form as its foundation, and the External Style as its object state. Then, the Chinese language-sense teaching is neither to make the student meaning-sensitive, nor to promote them emotional-sensitive partially, but is to develop them by a literary-formed, internal-external stylized means.This thesis holds that, on the question of the Chinese language-sense enquiry: The literary-formed Internal-External Style is its inner growing point. The Living Meaning of Stylized Language is its philosophical foundation. The dimension of language-intuition-sound-sense-affection-sense, is its aesthetic dimension. The sensible intuition and the rational intuition function as the two wings of the Chinese language-sensitive a...
