Abstract In the discourse space constructed by the intersection of traditional thought of “practical application” and modern pragmatism philosophy, Chinese philosophy began to change from metaphysics to practical learning; literature and art have also shifted from ethereal, freehand brushwork and symbolism to reality, realism and practicality. Modern Chinese literary aesthetics has also transcended from a pure theory or conceptual state and began to connect and combine with Chinese reality and local culture. However, Chinese aesthetics did not follow the path provided by practical philosophy; but it turned to the realism aesthetics which is more “applicable” to the reality of Chinese revolution. Although pragmatism philosophy got a cold shoulder in the era impulsion of enriching the country and strengthening the people. In the cultural exchanges between China and the West that began in the late Qing Dynasty, traditional thought of “practical application” gave birth to LI Da-zhao’s conception of the aesthetics of “the theory of harmony”, which was intended to infiltrate the western philosophy into the field of literary and artistic creation, and to promote the ability to create art and literature in a practical way. In the “May Fourth” New Culture Movement, the Western philosophy of pragmatism and its scientific way of thinking began to be integrated into the creation of Chinese literature and art, and the “form” experiment of literature and art was carried out. however, the concepts of “revolution”, “reality”, “material” and “practice” have entered the discourse space of Chinese aesthetics in the failed movement of “Western learning spreading to the East”, and have become the “bridgehead” of Marxist philosophy and aesthetics.
