In face of this problem, countless people with lofty ideals who racked their brains for answers to this question at all times and in all countries. In this huge quest team, Liang is one of them, interest-ism is the respondents he surrender. In all thought of Liang Qichao, interest-ism is undoubtedly has the unusual significance and the significance become more broad and far-reaching with the passage of time. Therefore, in order to really come close to Liang Qichao, must understand the spirit of interest-ism. This article is the study and discussed of Liang Qichao" interest-ism thought. This article is divided into five parts:The first part mainly elaborated selected topic significance and influence of Liang Qichao’s interest-ism thought. The section two state the logical vein of Liang Qichao’s interest-ism form from the display of historical background and the transformation of individual journey. The stimulation of Xinhai revolution and World War I urge Liang to make a deep reflection. Liang is eager for national salvation and loves his country of passion, while facing of strong western civilization, he tried to transform with the help of literature and are society, purifying the heart and build new culture, but due to the wrong understanding of literature lead to fail at last. Xinhai revolution let him from dependence on politics to belief in culture; World War I makes his transition from a nationalist to a cosmopolitan, and began his attention to the people themselves as well as the meaning of life. The third part expounds connotation of interest-ism thought. On account of derivation of interest, this article teases out the evolution course of Chinese and western interest-ism aesthetic theory, sorts out Liang Qichao’s own understanding of interest and finally makes a summary of interest ideology by the concept of creating pointing out interest is not only a kind of values and view of life, but a realm of life. In the fourth part, based on two segments "to break success or failure" and "’to break gain and loss", it discusses how to achieve unfettered and free state of creation. In Liang Qichao’s view, since the idea of success and failure and the concept of gain and loss exist as the two psychological barriers to create freely it is significant to shake off the ideas of success or failure and concept of gain or loss. As a result, he uses Confucianism. Taoism and Buddhism, Bergson and various theoretical Chinese and western resources to smash the two mental disorder. If the previous two, three and four part focuses on statement, then the fifth part emphasized review. In this section, exposing Liang Qichao’s interest-ism aesthetic thought to the entire background of life aesthetics the author makes an analysis of the whole life aesthetics. Since it belongs to a review which requires a standard, life aesthetics as the standard emerges. Definition of the so-called survival aesthetics takes the definition of ontology also existence in western history of philosophy as standard. This paper argues that in western philosophy, the understanding of existence can be divided into three stages. From Thales to Descartes, existence was thought of as an abstract object or ontology, which is the first stage. In the second stage, from Descartes to Heidegger, existence was regarded as the subject of some abstract or ontology. In the third stage, from Heidegger to now, existence has been defined as a "to existence" relative to "essence" and "object". This paper defines life aesthetics on the foundation of the understanding of noumenon explained in the third stage. In accordance with this standard, this paper argues that three are three defects in Liang Qichao’s interest idea:one os that the statement on human as free creators is to thin to convince readers; another is that the relationship between purpose and means is not thoroughly stated, some even contradict each other:the last one is that when discussing interestingness as the driving force for creation, he failed to make further inquiry of the root of interestingness and made the concept "self" clearly defined. Liang Qichao’s interest of aesthetics is a kind of thought which not only absorb the advantages of Chinese and Western culture, but also get rid of the disadvantages between them on the basis of an idea to crystallize. For these two culture. Liang took both inheritance and absorption, and also transcendence and breakthrough which made the strong shock to the practical character of Chinese traditional culture, so are of a kind of elegant and light transcendence character, but also deeply correct and modify the gloomy quality of rooted western culture, which therefore shows a high optimistic positive attitude. The article consider that it is transcendence and entertainment two taset combined together, then to make the interest-ism aesthetics excess the Chinese traditional culture also different from western living aesthetics, are of kind of special unique value.
