On the one hand, he analyzes the structure and rhetorical characteristics of the work, and on the other hand, he examines the social reasons for the rise of this writing. Through case studies, he understands the connection between emotional writing and scholars' pursuit of political success, accumulation of cultural capital, and shaping of self-image, as well as the tense relationship between this marginal writing, social order, and literary tradition.
