His Transcendentalist Individualism was called the most important mundane religion and he was called the representative of the American transcendentalist movement. The former American President, Abraham Lincoln called him "Confucius" and the father of "American civilization". Emersons Individualism was formed under a certain economic, political and religious background. The thoughts about spirits, personal characters, and self-reliance had much influenced the religion, the culture, the society of America. Nature is written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, the American poet. The content in our book is just a part of his book. I have spent some time reading this article. To be honest, I cannot understand it at first. So I searched the internet to find the Chinese version of it and I also found some information about Emerson and his books. Because of the cultural differences, the process of seeing is not rather easy, but I still feel good. The works of the 19th century, it seems still has its value. His books cover widely and each one is so specific. His thoughts flashing a light and he gave people inspire and reflection. His article makes readers would like to read once more. There is something special in his books and also in him. I have got some inspiration from Emerson. First of all is the honesty. In his articles and books, we can find his thoughts about life, lives, and friendship. There is no more contrived, but rather a frank. We should have a sincere between contacting with each other. Because the premise of anything beauty is true. If everything is lie and deception, there will be no significance about the truth and goodness. The second one is the beyond. After reading his articles, I realized that the real beyond had some certain difficulties. It takes courage because there have been many eminent writer in front of him. The ordinary people do not have this willpower, but he did it. Emerson did not stay in someone else's time, but he did further development. I always think that a man, who wants to move forward, must have the courage not to follow someone else's thinking, but having one's own opinion. Each person's life is dominated by their own, no matter happy or sad. These are all dominated by force and belief. How to make themselves have the power to overcome the difficulties of the way forward, the key is not afraid to lose. However, this power does not come out of thin air, but keep on learning and thinking. The last but not the least is the innovation. Learning is a long process; we can also say it is endless. In this process, we need to think about and dream of some time. Sometimes I simply think that maybe innovation is from love. If there is no love, we will not be as keen to put some things to be perfect, the writer was due to the love of this writing, wrote the immortal works. The same is true of our work, it requires us to dig, discover new things and form the new ideas. Innovation is to bring our work out to compare with others. Competing with others, we find problems. In the process of research questions to find answers, to find a breakthrough to resolve the things that others cannot resolve. Thus, we would be ahead of others in the same boundary. The core of his thinking is “self-reliance” or “independence”that is cultural national independence for the United States, literarily individual independence for writers and religious independence from the church. As far as literature is concerned, in a broad sense, Emerson places his emphasis on nationalism rather than colonialism, advocating the American literature: typical American content and American style. In a narrow sense, Emerson puts his stress on the individual instead of the group. He asserts that there is a greatness in everybody that needs only to be set free, so every American writer should trust himself, respect himself and write according to his own principles and in his own peculiar way. Emersons works deeply influence readers, especially Self-Reliance, which is from Essays. This prose is written according to a series of speech materials between 1836 and 1837. Self-Reliance is his important work which expresses his idea of transcendentalism. “Believe Yourself” is the centre point of Self-Reliance. Emerson opposes various forms of imitation in the works. He thinks the man should firmly believe that he is excellent at any time. If a man is afraid of public thought, he will possibly lose the innovative ability which is bad for his success. If a person doesnt want to let him or the society down, he must obey the principles in his inner heart, while the people who comply with the tradition, authority or current system means break this principle. The opinions which Emerson expresses in his prose are completely different. At that time, they agree with the American peoples optimistic spirit. Above all, he believes in self-reliance. He reconstructs the common literature images in writing skill and endows the works with new opinions. Ralph Waldo Emerson affects the ideas of classics works and he forms his own philosophy. Actually his philosophy, his religious and cultural thoughts are deeply influenced by European Romanticism and Kants thought.

Emersons influences on American literature lead American Romanticism to a new phase, the phase of New England transcendentalism, the summit of American Romanticism.
