There are many important and profound poetic theories scattering in Romanticism poet—John Keats'letters and poems ,such as the following propositions: Negative Capability,Beauty and Truth, Ontologizing of Imagination, Poetic Character, Poets and Poetic Cultural Tradition, Poetic Truth and the Truth of Philosophy, and the sense of Character and Language. All these propositions are very meaningful succession to the later tendency of poetry,literature and culture. This article will go on discussing and analyzing the proposition of"Negative Capability"from the points of literary ontology,subjectivity and culture. And then we'll taste the connection between John Keats'literary theories in early 19th and the converting of modern literary in 20th, and cultivate the internal succession and inspiration in deep culture. The paper wants to take"Negative Capability"as a core pattern, take modern converting as core point of view to colligate Keats'main poetic theories. Moreover, put"Negative Capability"into the process of aesthetic and cultural activity to paraphrase. Again, let us to get understood the profound meaning of"capability"in Keats'poetic discourse on"Negative Capability"and"No Character". At the same time, we should appreciate that Keats owns ontology pursuing as Chinese Tao, so we'd rather think poesy figured him, designed him, and even changed him than think he just wrote poem. Behind"Negative"there exists the most"active", which is to actively taste beauty and pursue literary nature. Keats modestly conceals the sense of egotism, which makes aesthetic feeling and literary ontology present."Negative Capability"makes the study on subject enter into wider field, which make monistic subject destructed and intersubjectivity become possible. The"Negative"attitude to oneself is to mostly respect all creature and to gratitude life and human culture."Negative"and"Active", they interact to each other, and one flashes brightly and the other conceals behind, which makes poetic grate converting possible, realizes dialogue tension. This text will discuss"Negative Capability"like above. The first chapter introduces the present of possibility of literary ontology converting the"Negative Capability"bring. The second chapter talks about the state and identity of subject after noumenon has presented. Actually said, the third chapter explains the resource and content of Keats'aesthetic feeling. The fourth chapter then use Chinese Tao to paraphrase ontological pursue of Keats'"Negative Capability". The last chapter clarifies the tension between"Negative"and"Active".
