What is Wagnerism?
as an aesthetic theory, Wagnerism is expressed from nature to man, and then from man to art. Wagner's view of nature can also be called the metaphysical basis of his theory: nature has an inevitable purpose, which is promoted by "need" and realized through dialectical process. Wagner likes to use three words: "inevitable", "natural" and "real", which refers to this inevitability at all levels in the whole process of natural development. Wagner's theory revolves around "future works of art", which is actually an art form that conforms to the inevitability of art. Therefore, although Wagnerism starts from the present situation, it focuses on "ideal".

in human history, this kind of metaphysics is embodied in the "real needs" existing in human nature to push history forward until it reaches a social stage where all these needs are met and human nature is fully realized. "Love" is a kind of "real need" of human nature, and it is also the most suppressed human nature in contemporary national civilization. It is internal and pushes people to embrace things that belong to "opposites", so as to realize their full development and real creation. Love is not aimed at a certain object, or simply manifested in a certain process, but as a trend reflected in all people's lives. Sexual love between men and women is one of the most common manifestations of this trend, and its highest realization is "productism" on the level of social relations and "future works of art" on the level of art (similar words include "complete works of art", "future drama" or "real drama" in Wagnerism). It is worth noting that Wagner pointed out that this "* * * productism" is different from contemporary socialism, and its focus lies in the brotherly relationship between people and the "unparalleled creativity" it brings.
