Research on Ancient Chinese Stylistics (updated Edition)
by Wu Chengxue
About This Novel
Ancient Chinese stylistics is a comprehensive discipline that studies the genre, system, style, language characteristics, organizational structure and other phenomena of ancient literature. It is an important aspect of literary theory. Regardless of whether people in ancient times or today, they all pay attention to "appropriateness" in writing and acting. It can be said that stylistics is a knowledge that has penetrated into the genes of Chinese culture and is one of the essences of traditional culture. The return to traditional stylistics research, which has gradually declined since modern times, also indicates the return of the Chinese characteristics and Chinese-style discourse system in the field of ancient literature. "Research on Ancient Chinese Stylistics" strives to return to the context of Chinese stylistics to discover the history of Chinese literature itself. Starting from the subject outline, stylistic historical materials, stylistic classification, research methods, literary style, as well as important ancient Chinese stylistic concepts, theories and treatises, it systematically discusses the basic issues in the study of traditional Chinese stylistics. It is fully cited, well-argued, and well-structured, and solves many difficulties and key issues. In terms of research methods, it is proposed that on the basis of inheriting the classical research paradigm, "Learn from Western learning, assist it with technology, test it with systems, and prove it with objects" to establish Chinese stylistics with modern significance and academic height, and practice it in this book. This book contains both the theoretical construction of stylistics and the diversified investigation of the history of stylistics. It macroscopically reproduces the development trajectory of ancient Chinese stylistics and is a representative achievement in the field of stylistics research. This book won the "Fifth Simian Original Award". First published in 2011, this revised and reprinted version has more than one-third of the content added, deleted, and revised, reflecting the author's newer and deeper thinking.
