Sun Jinyan

202K0

Under the consideration of the two key words "modern" and "irony", this book not only discusses Chinese Zen thought, but also martial arts culture, and also covers various typical literary cases at the moment. The purpose is to juxtapose and interpret the highest spiritual products of a certain culture with ordinary, secular spiritual products, to find commonalities among different objects that are recognized to be very different, and to explore how and why they also started from "modernization experience" and finally explored "ironic aesthetics". In this way, this book hopes to understand certain aspects of certain types of Chinese literature and Chinese civilization by observing the opposite and complementary aspects of literature and culture, and the unruly meanings created in the allegorical structure of China's "history" and "reality", "truth" and "hypocrisy".
