Lecture Notes on the History of Chinese Literature
by Hu Xiaoshi
About This Novel
Based on Jiao Xun's theory of the Qing Dynasty that "one generation is more successful than another", Hu Xiaoshi advocates that literature develops with the times. In this book, he narrates the origins and changes of the "Book of Songs", Chu Ci, Han Fu, ancient poems of the Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang rhythmic poems, and Tang and Five Dynasty Ci poems. It is clearly organized and focused, elucidating various old theories and many original ideas. It is recognized by the academic community as a short but insightful book. He has been studying all his life, and his writing must be original. If he has no true knowledge and insights, he will never suppress the same, and his writing will be simple and simple. It defines the category of literature by combining my country's inherent "statement of ambition" theory and "fate-emotion" theory with the foreign "pure literature" theory. As for academic methods, we should strictly distinguish between studying history and studying literature. It is said that studying literature and history belongs to the scope of science, and we must seek truth from facts and believe everything. Literary histories published before the founding of New China, such as "History of Chinese Poetry" co-edited by Feng Yuanjun and Lu Kanru, and "History of the Development of Chinese Literature" by Liu Dajie, were indeed inspired by this book.
