Research on Ancient Chinese Literary Criticism Methods
by Zhang Bowei
About This Novel
If we take Mencius's "poetry" method as the starting point, then Chinese literary criticism has a history of about 2,300 years. So, before Western academics entered China, how did the Chinese conduct literary criticism? This book traces back more than 2,000 years of history, combs through numerous documents, and summarizes three methods that best embody the spirit of traditional literary criticism, namely the "meaning against will" method influenced by Confucianism, the "inference of origin and flow" method influenced by academic tradition, and the "image criticism" method influenced by Zhuang Zen thought. It also explores the formation and development of six critical forms, including text selections, excerpts, poetic styles, poems on poetry, poetry talks, and comments, which are both practical and practical. Through the overall grasp and research of ancient Chinese literary criticism methods, its hidden system is resurfaced, and the continuously improved and enriched history of this system is presented. In the process of reappearance and presentation, the national characteristics and modern significance of ancient Chinese literary theory are revealed.
