Its characteristics are: reflecting the historical trend and social justice at that time, daring to overcome the difficulties beyond the usual level, taking the initiative to assume greater responsibilities than usual, and daring to fight against the reactionary and dark forces in society and nature. Originated from ancient myths and legends that show the extensive struggle between human beings and nature, the hero in them has superhuman strength and has established great honor for human beings.
2. Romanticism pays attention to strong emotions as the source of aesthetic experience, and begins to emphasize emotions such as anxiety and panic, as well as people's awe when they encounter the magnificence of nature.
Romanticism has subverted the political culture of aristocratic autocracy since the Enlightenment, and rationalized it by people whose art and literature are against nature. Romanticism attaches importance to folk art, nature and tradition, and advocates a theory of knowledge based on nature, which explains human activities with natural environment, including language, tradition and customs. Romanticism was influenced by the Enlightenment and also absorbed the artistic elements of retro medieval culture.

trait
1, heroism
The lofty value of heroism, in addition to the general specific social significance, deserves more attention in the shaping of life personality. Ron Girnus, an ancient Roman literary critic, once called this kind of personality accomplishment "the echo of a great mind" in his masterpiece "On the Sublime", arguing that if people lose this kind of induction and understanding of a great mind, numbness, indifference and meanness will follow, and life will be dark and humble, and there will be no chance of "freedom".
Therefore, we can say that the true spirit of heroism is never just a historical relic of the past tense, not just the personal behavior of a few heroes, but closely related to the life accomplishment and personality perfection of each of us. In short, as long as we yearn for freedom, dignity and lofty life value, the echo of the hero's soul will not be cut off.
2. Romanticism
Generally speaking, the Romantic Movement was composed of many artists, poets, writers, musicians, politicians and philosophers who appeared in Europe from the end of18th century to the beginning of19th century. However, until the 20th century, the specific characteristics and definition of romanticism were still the subject of debate in the history of thought and literature.
Arthur Lovejoy, an American historian, tried to prove the difficulty of defining romanticism in his famous article "History of Thought" (1948). Some scholars regard romanticism as a cultural movement that lasted until modern times, some scholars regard it as the beginning of modern culture, some scholars regard it as the counterattack of traditional culture to the Enlightenment, and some scholars regard it as the direct influence of the French Revolution.
Another definition comes from Charles Baudelaire: "Romanticism is not based on random materials, nor does it emphasize complete accuracy, but lies in the middle of the two and goes with the feeling."
Many intellectuals and historians regard romanticism as a rebound to the Enlightenment and a reflection on the Enlightenment era. Thinkers in the Enlightenment emphasized the absoluteness of deductive reasoning, while romanticism emphasized intuition, imagination and feeling, even to the point where some people criticized it as "irrationalism".
