Abstract Among many elements of literary value, beauty is essential and basic as beauty is not only the most important attribute and essence of all literary and artistic works, but also the foundation of their content and form. Beauty is the spiritual core, value and interest of all literary and artistic works, and the distillation and pursuit of literary value. Beauty not only points to freedom, liberation, good deeds and virtues, but also points to our heart, spirit and soul, and it also points to a noble and beautiful ideal world. Beauty shows the spirit of freedom and elevates the value, taste and spiritual connotation of literary works by all means. The essence of beauty is embodied in three aspects—beautiful form, beautiful feeling, and beautiful meaning. Beautiful form of a man or anything brings us tremendous pleasure and ultimate everlasting beauty. Beautiful feeling refines and sublimates our emotion, mood and thought in daily life, and converts them into regenerative emotions full of aesthetic meaning, form and value. Beautiful meaning is the core dominating, leading, and deciding beautiful feelings. If the major function of beautiful form is to please eyes, then the major function of beautiful feeling is to elevate mind, and beautiful meaning is the supreme commander of our body and emotion, the fundamental value of all literary and artistic works, and the ultimate basis for guiding all literary and artistic activities.
