From an etymological perspective, the book traces the emergence of the core meta-category "Xiang" in Chinese literary theory and its preliminary development in the pre-Qin Dynasty, analyzes the influence of Confucianism, Taoism, and "The Book of Changes" on the development of the connotation of "Xiang" and the early use of "Xiang" in a general sense; and then clarifies the evolutionary trajectory and continuous generalization of "Xiang" from a philosophical category to a literary theory category, from the theorists' elucidation and Qin and Han creative practices At two major levels, it analyzes the final establishment of "Xiang" as a meta-category of literary theory; combines Buddhism, metaphysics, and characters and objects to explore the internal and external motivations for the maturity and continuous development of the "Xiang" category, and examines the series of sub-categories derived from it at the levels of the universe, creation, text, and reception. Through penetration, intersection, and integration, category communities and classic propositions involving different dimensions are formed. In this way, we can glimpse the pervasiveness, unification and transcendence of the meta-category "xiang", see the national characteristics, aesthetic style and academic construction of Chinese literary theory, and trace the national characteristics of Chinese literary theory categories from the aspects of thinking mode, appreciation tradition and other aspects.
