The liberation of individual freedom. This is one of the most important features of romanticism. Rousseau devoted his life to this. From his first paper "On Science and Art", he sounded the horn of liberating humanity and freedom. "Science, literature and art are more powerful because they are not so autocratic, so they decorate the corolla on the shackles that bind people, and they stifle people's natural free sentiment." The science, literature and art that he accused of having a bad social atmosphere were actually under the floating rationality of his time. Next, he more directly condemned the dehumanizing social fashion. "Everyone's spirit seems to be cast in the same mold. Etiquette is constantly forcing us, and the atmosphere is constantly ordering us; We constantly follow these customs, but we can never follow our own nature. " (1) At the beginning of The Theory of Social Contract, it was mentioned that the liberation of human nature was imminent. "People are born free, but they are everywhere in chains. He who thinks he is the master of everything else is a slave more than anything else. " This sentence later became a famous saying in the ideological and political circles, anthropology and literature. In Confessions, Rousseau's trial of Jean Jacques, the daydream of a lonely rambler and other works that analyze one's mind, the cry for the freedom and liberation of personality is even more intuitive.

The strong subjective imagination in Rousseau's thoughts is very obvious in his two novels Emile, which advocate naturalistic education, and Love Lois, a romantic novel. Emily's own structure-the five stages of education is an idealized model. We can't completely separate moral education, intellectual education, physical education, aesthetic education and emotional education. Then, it is Rousseau's educational environment for Emile's idealism. The plot in the novel develops in an orderly way according to his subjective will. Of course, this subjective spirit is most suitable for expressing strong feelings, especially passionate love. Besides, imagination is a symbol of romanticism. It was Rousseau who released this imagination from the shackles of floating rationality. This imagination not only represents the symbol of romanticism, but also is the most fundamental feature of literature and art. We can clearly see how much he indulged in the lonely and free pastoral life in seclusion from his prose "The reverie of a lonely rambler" written in his later years. He was immersed in a lonely world of fantasy and daydreaming. He not only untied the shackles of neoclassicism, but also broke the cage of rational floating and free emptiness in the Enlightenment (narrow sense, usually sense).

Naturalism (in Rousseau's sense, it is different from the worldwide literary school represented by Zola, emphasizing the scientific and biological nature of human beings and taking experimental novels as the main creative method). This is another important feature of romanticism. Almost all romantics-whether active romantics or passive romantics-like the description of natural scenery. They express their perception of nature. Rousseau was the first person in history who really discovered the beauty of nature and praised it.
