Abstract

In his work Six Memos for the Next millennium, Calvino explains the essence of literature from five aspects closely related to his aesthetic qualities, that is, “Lightness”, “Quickness”, “Exactitude”, “Visibility” and “Multiplicity”, which can be understood as follows: “Lightness” is the premise and “Exactitude” and “Visibility” are realized by “Quickness”, with “Multiplicity” as the final pursuit of literary connotation and aesthetic value. Based on his consideration on literature, the world and their relationship, his aesthetic view is reflected in the basic value and aesthetic connotation that literary creation should be adhering to, which shows distinct personal characteristics.
