What is romanticism, rationalism, humanism.

Romanticism is one of the basic creative methods in literature and art, and realism is one of the two major trends in literature and art. As a creative method, Romanticism focuses on reflecting the objective reality from the subjective inner world, expresses the passionate pursuit of the ideal world, and often uses passionate language, magnificent imagination and exaggerated techniques to shape the image. Romanticism has a long history of creative tendency, as early as in the oral creation of human literature and art in the period, some of the works have different degrees of romanticism factors and characteristics. But at this time, romanticism has not formed a trend of thought, not to mention that it is not consciously for people to grasp the creative method. Romanticism, as a major literary trend, prevailed in Europe from the second half of the 18th century to the first half of the 19th century and manifested itself in all branches of culture and art. Modern Romanticism is a product of the generalization of the spirit of freedom into the realm of emotion. The modern romantic literary trend in China germinated at the beginning of the 20th century and reached its climax during the May Fourth Movement. Due to the rise of the social revolution, the romanticism of the May Fourth Movement was divided. However, the modern romantic literary trend in China did not disappear, but explored in the valley, it developed along two paths, one is from the "May Fourth" romanticism metamorphosed into the idyllic pastoral romanticism in the 30's, then to the romanticism in the 40's, returned to the center of the literary world for a time, and revived again in the new period, and then disappeared in the modernist trend in the mid-80's; the other is from the "May Fourth" romanticism, from the "May Fourth" romanticism, and the modernist trend in the mid-80's; the other is from the "May Fourth" romanticism. Secondly, it was associated with politics and transformed from "revolutionary romanticism" to pseudo-romanticism during the "Cultural Revolution". While sorting out the development of Romanticism in China in the 20th century, we pay attention to revealing its regularity, and summarize the experience of its success or failure and some important theoretical problems. Rationalism, European Rationalism (Rationalism) is a philosophical approach based on the theory that recognizes that human reason can be a source of knowledge, above and independent of sensory perception. It is generally considered to have arisen with the theories of Descartes, and to have spread mainly on the European continent during the 17th and 18th centuries. Another philosophical approach relative to the contemporaries is known as Britannic empiricism (a school of thought within empiricism), which argues that human ideas derive from experience, and so knowledge may derive primarily from experience in addition to mathematics. The main concern here is the source of human knowledge and a means of confirming what we know.  Rationality refers to the intelligence that is capable of identifying, judging, and evaluating practical reasons as well as conforming human behavior to specific purposes. Rationality discovers truth through arguments and persuasive arguments, and obtains conclusions, opinions, and reasons for action through logical reasoning rather than relying on appearances.  The distinction between rationalism and empiricism was not made by the philosophers of the time, but by later generations. In fact, sometimes the distinction between the two is not as significant as it is made out to be. The three main rationalists agreed on the importance of empirical science, and they were closer to Descartes than to Baruch Spinoza and Gottfried Leibnitz in their methods and metaphysical theories. Although this distinction is necessary in the writing of books, they are not very useful in philosophy itself. Humanism was at the center of the dominant social thought of the Renaissance. There is not much difference between "humanism", "humanism", and "humanistic thought". Humanism" comes from the English word humanise, which can be translated as "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic", "humanistic" and "humanistic".

The core ideas of Renaissance humanism are: to oppose the medieval theology that exalts God and depreciates human beings, and to emphasize the preciousness of human beings; to oppose the theological asceticism and the concept of the afterlife, and to advocate the pursuit of real life; to oppose the religious bondage and the feudal hierarchy, and to pursue the emancipation of human individuality and the freedom and equality of human beings; to oppose the obscurantism of the medieval times, and to esteem the human experience and rationality; and to advocate that human beings should know the nature, and conquer the nature, in order to benefit life. nature for the benefit of life.
