A postdeconstruction review of the ontology of literature and art is one of the primary issues of literary study, which concerns the basic construction of literary theory in China. As a permanent study, ontology has always been a major and important area of traditional philosophic study. Since the 20th century, although deconstruction of the ontology occurred in text philosophic studies, the issue of ontology study can by no means be neglected in the field of humanities in terms of the subject of deconstruction and the constructive tendency of postmodern philosophy. The revival of ontology study in modern Western philosophy offers a valuable ground for reviewing the ontology in literature and art.
