Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics: Symbols of the World

About This Novel
"Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics (Symbols of the World)" is the first non-systematic poetry theory masterpiece written by the famous American sinologist Yuwen Suoan after ten years of research on the literary history of "Poetry of the Early Tang" and "Poetry of the Prosperous Tang". Although the original book was published earlier, many of the literary concepts he later developed can still be seen in it. In "Traditional Chinese Poetry and Poetics (Symbols of the World)", Yuwen Suo'an put forward the important proposition of China's "non-fiction" poetic tradition and made a comprehensive analysis and discussion. To paraphrase Feronosa's discovery that Chinese characters are the ideal language of poetry, it can be said that Yu Wensuo'an discovered that Chinese poetry in the tradition of non-fiction poetry is ideal poetry, which comes from the diversity of nature and is a subversion of poetry in the Western literary tradition as the second nature created by divine poets. To read Chinese poetry, one must give up the concept of analyzing poetry as a language structure, and instead dwell in the context of contemporary poetry and listen to the true voice.
