ABSTRACT
"Sorrow" refers to the personal emotions that are intended to follow the heart and nature. From the bottom of the heart, people sigh at certain things. Through "I", they carefully taste "objects" to achieve people's subjective feelings, and emotional resonance with all things in the world. Actually, "sorrow" contains rich emotions, not just grief, but also personal emotions such as joy and anger. And "mourning" is full of exclamatory meaning, which is an innate emotional element and an aesthetic value orientation. As the mainstream aesthetic tendency of Japanese literature, "Mourning Sorrow" must be carefully scrutinized in a specific context. In Japanese literature, the spirit of "fate of grief" has risen to an aesthetic realm with some sort of character unity and natural expression. This kind of aesthetically oriented Japanese literature more or less reflects the meaning of "high purity". This paper mainly discusses the aesthetic significance of "Mourning Sorrow" in Japanese literature.
