The development of contemporary dialectics encountered difficulties, which is widely used. But people lost it in reason and wisdom, so that it become sophisticated tools and the will of the client.The reason for this situation is complex with the times, its root cause is that the "no root" dialectics. Only beyond the limitations of the times, recover its original simplicity, using ontology as the basis for effective delimitation of dialectic, we can resolve this problem.Lao tze and Heraclitus respectively created the distinctive theory of the Chinese and western, But the posterity misunderstood the applicable scope and existence value of the two theories. This paper uses the phenomenological method of interpretation,restore the theoretical qualities of two kinds of diaiectics,that is conducive to research of original theory and clarify both the original meaning of dialectics. Lao tze dialectics based on the premise of "tao", depending on the Life ontology, revealing human survival and life realm, through the perspective of existence theory reveals the dialectics of "humanism" characteristics; Heraclitus dialectics based on the premise of "logos", to explore the rule of survival and death of all things, through the understanding of nature of all things exist, reveals the dialectics "naturalism" theoretical qualities. In this paper, with the method of comparative study, based on both ontology and traits of dialectic, compares two kinds of systematic dialectics.Finding Universal concept of two dialectics in similarity, Seek combining site of complementary coalesce from the differences. In the light of the ancient wisdom, with the help of a new opportunity for the development of contemporary dialectics theory, to explore the possibility of the different cultural context fusion and rationality of dialectics, clarify the misuse of dialectics and try to realize the harmonious coexistence of two dialectics and complete the new attempt for contemporary dialectics theory.
