  9. The Mask 假面 Baihe (GL)358k WordsCompleted In other words, this does not mean setting history aside, but placing it on equal footing with fabrication, allegory, and even unrestrained fantasy... without worrying that historical truth, or what we believe to be historical truth, will undermine poetry. As Lukacs said, in the end, poetry and history walk side by side. We (or rather, I) wish to remind readers that what can be represented here is no more than symbolic truth.
