Abstract: Pythagorean Genre results from the reform of present academic writing style,distinct in independent segments and segment combinations as the language style.A segment is a particle of academic thought, special in that it’s the intuitive comprehension majorly based on knowledge in the precondition of changing knowledge into wisdom. It is also a kind of eidetic intuition following the process of aesthetic recognition→rational understanding→emotional judgment. The argumentation of intuitive comprehension is developed and completed through rational thinking; and in the former process, different independent segments can be combined and constructed into an integral whole. As a pretrend of future academic writing, Pythagorean Genre has its traditional resource, shows its authors’ personal style, and adequately absorbs western thoughts and theories. In order to defuse or balance the mental conflicts in academic fellows, we can learn from the great musician Mozart by recovering our personal understanding, rebuilding ourselves into ones with both ample individual experience and devotion to human understanding. Only in this way, can we dynamically present personalized ideas and styles and make things as they are. 

Key words: Pythagorean Genre, changing knowledge into wisdom, being majorly based on knowledge, eidetic intuition, learn from Mozart
