In recent years, the campus violence has caused wide public concern, then the mental health education of college students gradually has been paid attention. Generally speaking, most university students are inclined to find solutions from books, so the Reading Therapy for Mental Health Education has rose. How to reduce the aggressive behavior of the college students and improve the level of mental health become hot topics in the field of psychology. We can find a lot of ideas from Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, which are the main parts of Chinese traditional culture. In this article, we explore the effect of traditional culture on college students’ understanding on aggressiveness from the point of classics reading.This research explores the effect of classics reading with combining theory and empirical. On the basis of the analysis of the present situation about classics reading and cognitive study of offensive, we can not only verify the likelihood of the effect of classics reading in the offensive behavior for college students in theory, but also inspect it by using experimental paradigm with the combination of explicit and implicit cognition.Taking the case of university students, there are40male and40females. These subjects were separated into two groups: experimental (6) and control (2) group. Using the E‐prime tech in the computer, we do this experiment, together with recognition experiment (explicit cognitive paradigm) and attitude preference experiment (the implicit cognitive paradigms). The study used within‐subject design to investigate the influence of task [read classic, not read classics to the reaction time, after watching neutral and violence pictures.This experiment came to the following conclusion: the reaction time of experimental are greater than control groups, gender differences are existed. There are a lot of thoughts about the aggressive in Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism.Experimental material can reduce the understanding of offensive, which was selected from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. There are gender differences in cognitive effects of students’ aggressive thinking among three kinds of classics. Taoist classics on males explicit aggressiveness cognitive effects than females.
