Sturm und Drang (German) refers to the changes in the field of German literature and music creation from the late 1960s to the early 1980s. It is the stage of transition from classicism to romanticism, and it can also be said to be romanticism in infancy. Its name comes from the playwright klinger's play Charge, but its central representatives are Goethe and Schiller, and Goethe's young werther is its typical representative work, which expresses the conflict and enterprising spirit of human inner feelings. The movement was initiated by a group of young German writers from the civilian class. Influenced by the Enlightenment, they praised the power of genius and creativity as the core of their aesthetic views. Influenced by the Enlightenment at that time, especially by Rousseau's philosophy, the writers in Strauss period praised "genius", advocated "freedom" and "personality liberation" and put forward the slogan of "returning to nature". On the other hand, these young writers opposed the social relations during the Enlightenment and refuted the viewpoint of overemphasizing rationality. This movement lasted for nearly twenty years, from 1765 to 1795, and then it was replaced by a mature romantic movement.
