Dionysian spirit is an important idea in Nietzsche's philosophy and non-rational spirit impulse.In addition,it is a life full of vitality as well as a kind of value pursuit with self transcendence.It fully recognizes the will of life,and it is also the theme of Nietzsche's first work "The Birth of Tragedy".In the paper,according to the historical process of emergence,development and existence of the Dionysian spirit,the social and historical background as well as its connotation and meaning was discussed.It was concluded that the Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit was developed continuously under the conditions of inheritance and innovation.In Nitzsch's philosophy,the will of power,superman,the revaluation of all values and the eternal samsara thought were transformed from Dionysian spirit,which was the further development of the Dionysian spirit.And the positive significance of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit was mainly analyzed.It was namely the vitality as well as the value and significance of the nature of creativity and the state of intoxication on the life.In the paper,it was started with the social and historical background of the formation of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit,including two parts: the birth of Dionysus as well as its social and historical background and the thought and culture formed by Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit.This thesis analyzed the myth origin and religion origin of Nietzsche's Dionysian,the thought origin of Dionysian,and also clarified the thought and culture movement and character having an effect on Dionysian during the development of society and history,including renaissance,protestant reformation,Schopenhauer's pessimism,Wagner's dramatic art.The concept of Dionysian spirit was from the thought and culture of ancient Greek.Dionysian Dionysus was a Olympus God representing the harvest worshiped by the Greek civil religion.His birth was one of the basic contents of the Greek mythology.As the city's patron saint,the ancients' belief on the Dionysus was often closely linked with patriotism.Dionysian spirit was throughout the complete process of social history of the appearance,development and expansion of the Greek city-state with a important role that couldn't be ignored.Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit was influenced by the Renaissance,the Religious Reform and other thought and cultural movements in the development process of the social history.He was valuedmutually with a real philosopher and educator Schopenhauer.He described his relationship with Schopenhauer as that of a child with his father.Every moment together was the guidance to the child from the father.Nietzsche had a similar fate as Schopenhauer with many talented similar traits,many major ideas of Nietzsche were derived from Schopenhauer.Therefore,both the destiny of Schopenhauer himself and works played a key role in Nietzsche's life and writing.Wagner,as one of Nietzsche's rare friends,had a superb musical talent,and the Greek tragedy was interpreted vividly by him.At the same time,it smeared a lot of brilliant spark in Nietzsche's ideas.Secondly,the connotation of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit as well as a series of new ideas about its formation and development,was systematically discussed.In these ideas,there were the will of power,superman,the revaluation of all values,and the eternal recurrence of the same philosophy.It was also to say,the concept of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit was from Greek tragedy art created by Dionysus and Apollo impulse.Dionysus' s life impulse was also the profound meaning of Dionysian spirit.The creative nature of power will,the superman figurative design,transmigrating things and standards to revaluate all values were all basically the turnover and further development of the Dionysian spirit.Finally,it expounded the modern significance of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit,including the two parts:the thought influence of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit and contemporary values.It was namely the influence of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit on existentialism and life philosophy,and four kinds of reflections on the contemporary value: The life originated from hardships in Nietzsche's Eternal Return;The art saved the life in Apollo and Dionysian impulse;Find the true self in the vitality and creativity of the Dionysian spirit;The drunken state of the Dionysian spirit originated from inspiration.Promote an optimistic,positive,healthy and upward attitude towards life.It was not perfect in the pectination of content.There could be much lack and the analysis not in place.These were the inadequacies in the paper.In terms of social historical reason of the existence and continuation of the Dionysian spirit,the historical extend of ancient Greek culture and the thought influence of Nietzsche's Dionysian spirit,the further research was necessary.
