Nietzsche's rhetorical linguistic view occupied an important position in his entire system. He applied rhetorical theory to language in order to achieve the purpose of deconstructing truth and authority by language. In other words, it means using rhetorical property of language to revaluate the value of all things. There are four parts to illustrate the thesis.Introductory remarks mainly talks about the current situation of study of Nietzsche's doctrine. Chinese and foreign scholars mainly study his works after 1876 and the content mainly concentrated on the will to power, "Superman" philosophy, philosophy of life and so on. However, Nietzsche's rhetorical linguistic view is a blind spot in the research field. It is the viewpoint will be explored and also is innovation of this paper.The first part discusses the theoretical source and creation background of Nietzsche's rhetorical linguistic view. Form Plato of ancient Greece to Kant, Hegel in the 19th century, they had regarded the "logos" as truth; it and grammar regulated the development of language together. Therefore, sound, concept and things have always been a one to one correspondence. However, Nietzsche introduced rhetorical theory to language out of normal behavior (rhetoric itself with subjective creativity). He emphasized on the effect of feeling, intuition and imagination. He believed that all languages are the result of escape, so that he expels logos and thinking from the field of language and suspend the stability and accuracy of system language. In addition, Nietzsche had been deeply influenced by humanistic spirit of ancient Greece and life philosophy of Schopenhauer. Therefore, his view of rhetorical language has poetic and aesthetic qualities.The second part is a core part of the paper, which mainly interpretates the basic content and aesthetic characteristics of Nietzsche's rhetoric linguistic view. First, simply illustrating the genetic relationship between rhetoric and language. Second, indicating the basic content of the concept includes four aspects: metaphor, reproducibility, disruptive migration and subversive property. Draws the conclusion by this, language is a kind of unconscious creation and not subject to the limitation of logic and grammar. So things, sound and concept have great arbitrariness and uncertainty. Next discussing the aesthetic characteristics of rhetorical language view from the relationship between rhetoric, metaphor and literary arts and Nietzsche's opposition of rational center theory and advocation of life philosophy. He also uses a large of rhetoric language during the creation so that his text is full of literary art.The third part focuses on influence and limitation of Nietzsche's rhetoric linguistic view. It mainly refers to the Nietzsche's rhetoric linguistic view's impact on postmodern literary aesthetics. It is reflected in three respects: the impact on postmodern philosophy, destructuralist literary theory, post-humanist aesthetic. Nietzsche blindly exaggerated the rhetoric properties of language. However, rhetoric itself is subjective and creative. It is a kind of unconscious creation in more cases and not subject to the control of logic and grammar. So his view of language had nihilism and sexual doctrine color.In a word, Nietzsche's rhetorical linguistic view plays a directive role in the period of philosophy transition."Language itself is entirely the product of rhetorical art"He put rhetoric on the first from seven arts and excluded the guiding role that logos and thinking play on language, which made language uncertainty and theology. Consequently, he overthrows the "logos" centrism. Nietzsche's rhetoric linguistic view had an important part on text creation of destructuralism and post-humanist aesthetic, and also deeply affected Derrida, Foucault, Heidegger and a number of masters.
