At the theoretical level, this book does not stick to traditional poetry research ideas, but integrates cultural theory, cognitive poetics theory, communication theory, etc. Into its writing. This book summarizes Pound's 12 identities and believes that they are related to the formation of the modernist style of the Cantos; sorts out the specific content of the 117 chapters of the Cantos; discusses controversial topics in the study of the Cantos; and discusses the background, imitation and creation, internalization and absorption of the modernist style of the Cantos. At the same time, the author's research findings of more than 20 years are shared with readers, covering sections such as "A brief history of Pound's works and their publication".

As a noisy text, the literary value and unique artistic charm of Pound's "Cantos" lie in the fact that it integrates personal subjective life perceptions, experiences, and meditations with the objective existence of human culture, history, politics, economy, philosophy, etc., And uses its magnificent and unique structure and rich and complex content to form "a waterfall of jade and mud", thus becoming a wonder in the history of modern American poetry. With the help of text theory and intertextuality perspective, you will find that "The Cantos" is not only a poetic and artistic text, but also a human cultural text, a social historical text, a political economics text and a moral philosophy text. Of course, the "Cantos" is essentially a heterogeneous text, a collection of symbols composed of various referents and countless discourses, full of complex meanings, so its interpretation is also full of openness.
