"Journey to the West" is a classical masterpiece with long-lasting influence and unique style. On the one hand, it is popular and simple, and contains fairy tale elements that make it suitable for readers of all ages. On the other hand, since its publication, it has been controversial, especially its unique discourse status, which has led to various interpretations. There are two fundamental problems to be solved that are closely related to the interpretation of the work: one is the theme of the work. Readers have always understood "The Uprising in Heaven" as a rebellion against the obsessive rule of Heaven, and there is even a saying that it "reflects the peasant uprising". However, this creates a logical contradiction with the plot of Wukong's conversion later in the article, especially the plot of destroying other monsters after his conversion. Nowadays, the general way to interpret this contradiction is to "divide it into two parts" and let everyone talk about it in his own way. But interpreting a long masterpiece by bypassing contradictions in this way is not a rigorous and persuasive approach after all. The other is the contradiction between the discourse system and narrative attitude of the work. The work uses a lot of inner alchemy discourse in the narrative process, and even copies a lot of Quanzhen Taoist poems and articles. However, the plot of the novel contains many arrangements that are unfavorable or even hostile to Taoism. How to explain this contradictory phenomenon? "Thirteen Lectures on New Theory" was written to solve these two problems. In recent years, the author has published a series of articles on this topic in publications such as "Literary Heritage", "Research on Ming and Qing Novels", and "Journal of Nankai University". From a macro perspective and a micro perspective, based on the new materials discovered, on the basis of the above research results, he further integrated and improved this book.

John Edgar Wildman (1941-) is a famous contemporary African-American writer and social critic in the United States. In more than half a century of diligent writing, he has won many awards for his exquisite style and serious thinking on contemporary issues, and is known as "one of the most outstanding and talented black male writers of our time." In his works, Wideman repeatedly writes about his own trauma and family tragedy, revisits the historical trauma of African Americans, and also focuses on the unbearable pain of domination, discrimination, and segregation that the lower classes in inner cities in the United States cannot bear in the post-civil rights era. Under the perspective of trauma theory, this book combines contemporary autobiography theory and new historicism theory to provide an in-depth analysis of Wideman's trauma writing. Wideman's work is a site of traumatic memory for African Americans, revealing the traumatic experiences and psychological realities of the dispossessed and forgotten, highlighting the healing power of storytelling. By writing about trauma, Wideman played the role of witness and social critic, demonstrating his deep concern for the plight of African Americans.
