A World Lost in Symbols: Poetry, Experience and Rhetoric
About This Novel
"The World Losing Symbols: Poetry, Experience and Rhetoric" takes modern Chinese poetry as the entry point and "symbol" as the narrative object, tracing the ancient origin of "symbol", its development process as a social practice, and its "metamorphosis" in modern society. The author intends to point out that "symbol" is not only a means of literary rhetoric and ritual expression, but also a way for human beings to experience the world and recognize themselves. In the period of contemporary Chinese literature, the existence and disappearance of "symbols" represents the changes in society, literature and living conditions; the rewriting of "symbols" also means the rewriting of human beings' own culture and meaning of survival.
