Abstract:

Abstract： Ou Yangxiu' s cultural character featured by embracing rationality can be summed up as follows: (1) while being open to the reality, acknowledge and respect the existent fact; (2) keep a steadfast conviction, and possess a highconscious, independent reasoning as well as a critical reflection; (3) go out of the extreme thinking mode characteristic of binary opposition; (4) being not exclusive, treat others as equals, and comprehend and respect others' life choice; (5) be aware of selflimitation, and brave to acknowledge mistakes and selfdenial. Ou yangxiu' s above cultural characters not only acquire his brilliant achievements but also produce a direct, deep influence on the innovative movement of the verse in the North Song Dynasty, determining its developing tendency as well as the ultimate success. These cultural characters, being ideal, practical, critical, allaround, embraced and opening, even in today' s society, are worthy of studying and inheritance.
