Yukio Mishima's literature has a strong personal style,which is unique in Japanese postwar literature.Its uniqueness is that the post-war literary school is reflecting on and denying Bushido culture,while Mishima Literature is committed to reviving Bushido culture.It also practices its own literary ideas,follows the tradition of Bushido and commits suicide by cutting its abdomen.Mishima Literature and Mishima Literature have formed an intertextual relationship.Previous studies seldom analyzed Mishima literature from the perspective of reviving Bushido culture,which separated the integrity of Mishima literature,and emphasized literary interpretation of the relationship between the character of Mishima and the uniqueness of Mishima literature,lacking psychological analysis.This paper puts Mishima literature under the background of reviving Bushido culture,and explores the literature and art of Mishima reviving Bushido culture,the aesthetic characteristics of this literature and art,as well as the creative motivation and personality reasons of Mishima reviving Bushido culture through careful reading of texts and psychological analysis of interdisciplinary research.The first chapter classifies and analyses the narrative of Distorted Love in Mishima Yukio's literature,compares the narrative of tolerance in Japanese Bushido and distorted love in Mishima's literature,reveals the relationship between them,and analyses the aesthetic characteristics of Distorted Love Narrative in Mishima's literature.Chapter two classifies and analyses the death narrative in Yukio Mitshima's literature,compares the martyrdom philosophy in Bushido and the death narrative in Mitshima's literature,reveals the relationship between them,and analyses the aesthetic characteristics of the death narrative in Mitshima's works.Chapter three,combining with Mishima's childhood and experience,analyses the reasons why Mishima is keen on reviving Bushido culture.In Japan after World War II,the elements of "elegance" and "martial worship" in culture developed unevenly,and the elements of "martial worship" represented by "knife" were excluded from the cultural concept,which undermined the continuity and integrity of Japanese national culture.Therefore,the three islands regards reviving the Bushido culture and rebuilding the integrity and continuity of national culture as their cultural mission,just like the ancient Greek culture lost in the Renaissance in Europe.Mitshima regards Bushido culture as his literary model,focusing on love theme and death theme,constructs a literary world of deformity,error,decay,sadism and bloodthirst,and forms a unique "distorted narrative" and "death narrative" in order to revive the traditional Japanese Bushido culture.The reason why Mishima is so keen on reviving the culture of Bushido is determined by his inferiority complex.People with a strong sense of inferiority often need excessive compensation,which is manifested in their yearning for strength,aggression and other male forces,as well as their strong pursuit of their own superiority.Because of his weak constitution at an early age,Mitshima developed an inferiority complex and a strong need for compensation,so he forged super-developed muscles in adulthood.After the defeat of World War II,Japan was occupied by the United States and democratized.Japan's Bushido culture was regarded as the main culprit of the war,and it was excluded and lost its legitimacy.For this reason,Mishima has a deep sense of inferiority toward the traditional Bushido culture.In order to overcome this inferiority complex,the three islands have a strong sense of confrontation,eager to prove the superiority of Japanese martial arts culture.At this time,the excessive compensation of the inferiority complex of the three islands shifted to the revival of the martial culture,which advocated military factors,and became the extreme pursuit of the traditional beauty of Japan.
