After graduation, he became the only theological priest in Christianity and began to preach. After 1832, Emerson traveled around Europe, met Wordsworth and Coleridge, the pioneers of romanticism, and accepted their transcendental thoughts, which had a great influence on the formation of his ideological system. 1837, he gave a speech about American scholars at the American Students' Union, announcing the independence of American literature from English literature and emphasizing the value of human beings, which was hailed as the "Declaration of Independence" in the American spiritual field. Emerson is an essayist, thinker and poet. His poems and essays are unique, paying attention to ideology rather than rhetoric.
