To "frantic" independence different from the public face of the individual was fully displayed, the extension and intension of madness have been expanded and deepened.Through the ages ,frantic as human social life of a special situation in the state ,have not only aroused the concern of the physician ,but also as a social phenomenon has also been the concern of the thinkers ,and was given the profound connotation .Frantic unlimited open in the field of thought has been further extension and expansion ,in the literature showed its image of the rich ,but still lacks its own independent character.Under its unique background, May 4 had once raised one "crazily" play's upsurge. There are two reasons for the emergence of the upsurge : on one hand ,there is May 4 sprits of the age summon ,which was one kind of mood shines upon at that time to the hurricane advance time ;on the other hand ,it was closely linked with the personality literature ,after personality rebuffed an echo .Frantic in May 4 literature works increased its intrinsic implication above the traditional direction ,enabled this image to have the independent culture and the philosophy moral character.May 4 crazy group portrait's existence has the significant significance to the time and the literature development.
