The teacher-instructor relationship is one of the most important interpersonal relationships in ancient China. There are many literary activities surrounding the teacher-instructor relationship, but the academic community rarely approaches literary research from this dimension. This book takes the mentoring activities and literary relationships of scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty as the research object, and makes a relatively full argument on topics such as the genealogy concept of scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty, the mentoring relationship, the flow of literati, daily friendships, and the memory of mentors.

The content of this book is revised based on the lecture notes used by Mr. Sun Changwu when he taught the "Taoist Literature Course" in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature of the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2009.

"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.

Ancient Chinese stylistics is a comprehensive discipline that studies the genre, system, style, language characteristics, organizational structure and other phenomena of ancient literature. It is an important aspect of literary theory. Regardless of whether people in ancient times or today, they all pay attention to "appropriateness" in writing and acting. It can be said that stylistics is a knowledge that has penetrated into the genes of Chinese culture and is one of the essences of traditional culture. The return to traditional stylistics research, which has gradually declined since modern times, also indicates the return of the Chinese characteristics and Chinese-style discourse system in the field of ancient literature. "Research on Ancient Chinese Stylistics" strives to return to the context of Chinese stylistics to discover the history of Chinese literature itself. Starting from the subject outline, stylistic historical materials, stylistic classification, research methods, literary style, as well as important ancient Chinese stylistic concepts, theories and treatises, it systematically discusses the basic issues in the study of traditional Chinese stylistics. It is fully cited, well-argued, and well-structured, and solves many difficulties and key issues. In terms of research methods, it is proposed that on the basis of inheriting the classical research paradigm, "Learn from Western learning, assist it with technology, test it with systems, and prove it with objects" to establish Chinese stylistics with modern significance and academic height, and practice it in this book. This book contains both the theoretical construction of stylistics and the diversified investigation of the history of stylistics. It macroscopically reproduces the development trajectory of ancient Chinese stylistics and is a representative achievement in the field of stylistics research. This book won the "Fifth Simian Original Award". First published in 2011, this revised and reprinted version has more than one-third of the content added, deleted, and revised, reflecting the author's newer and deeper thinking.

This is a work that explores female consciousness and feminist thought. European women have had a low status since ancient times. In Woolf's era, prejudice against women and inequality in the status of men and women had gradually weakened. At the same time, she insists that there is still a long way to go to achieve true equality between men and women. Based on this, she put forward her own opinion: "If a woman wants to write novels, she must have money and a room of her own."
