Abstract:
      In [1], a conclusion that we must abandon the fantasy to explain the application of Mathematics by its truth is given by Chen Xue-yun. But in our point, it is actually publicizing a viewpoint of the ``mysticism'' about Mathematics. What the development of the main content of Mathematics destroyed is transcendental truth of old metaphysics; and the application that the concrete mathematical theories have showed in practice depends on its concrete truth.
