Wu Chengxue

518K0

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.

Character of the Times, Character of the People, Experimentality: Essay on Lao She's Anti-japanese War Drama

Mei Qibo

318K0

Lao She's Anti-Japanese War drama is a high degree of unity of the times, people's nature and artistic experimentation. Lao She transformed from an elite writer who returned from overseas to an artist serving the times and the people. The Anti-Japanese War was an important opportunity of the times. Although Lao She had some discomfort when he turned to the creation of Anti-Japanese War dramas for propaganda purposes, Lao She was fundamentally a national writer who "put the country first", so he could always breathe and share the fate of the people. Lao She's people-oriented stance earned him the title of "People's Artist" after liberation, and also made him inevitably ahead of the main trends of the times and politics. It was not natural for Lao She to be at the forefront of the times. It was due to his constant pursuit and pain. Lao She's anti-war dramas have always been looking for a balance between politics, propaganda and art. Lao She's Anti-Japanese War dramas were full of experimentation. He integrated traditional folk art and Western stage art in his Anti-Japanese War dramas. His bold attempt was an innovation and breakthrough in drama creation, which also left valuable experience for Chinese drama art creation.

New Horizons of Literature

Yang Liang

"The rise and fall of learning depends on the importance of the times." Scholars engaged in classical literature all attach great importance to the "technical" aspect, including editions, catalogs, and collations. This is the academic orthodoxy of the ancients. Documents are the basis of all discipline research. Deeper research also lies in the ideological and methodological level of documents, that is, the "Tao" level. There is an intricate relationship between the two. In the face of traditional literature, on the one hand, it is necessary to clarify the evolution of academic traditions, and it is necessary to distinguish academic chapters and examine their origins; on the other hand, it is necessary to study classics from a modern disciplinary perspective. When talking about learning, one should have the state of "I am willing to study in books and grow old, and I will not hesitate to turn myself into a silverfish". "The only difficulty in the world is reading." Although it is "building a house under the house and putting a bed on the bed", the line of academic inheritance can also be seen. This book takes lecture notes as the main body, interspersed with ideological essays "shadowed by the shadows in the book," in order to show a new horizon of literature research.

This book is the first to conduct a comprehensive comparative study of the traditional literary theories of Han and Tibetan people. The Chinese nation has fifty-six ethnic groups, of which the Han nationality is the majority. Other ethnic minorities are important members of the Chinese family. They have created splendid culture in history and made certain contributions in literary theory. The Tibetans are important representatives. Our current history of ancient literary theory failed to well absorb the literary theories of ethnic minorities, and in fact became the history of Han literary theory. Therefore, it did not fully display the broad and profound content of Chinese literary theory, nor did it reflect the rich and diverse true style of Chinese literary theory. Previous research on ethnic minority literary theory generally focused on separate formations, sorting out and summarizing their respective development histories and characteristics, and lacked an overall comparative study on the exchange and integration of Chinese literary theory. This book comprehensively compares Tibetan literary theory with Han Chinese literary theory. It is an attempt to conduct an overall study of Chinese literary theory, an expansion of the research horizons of traditional Chinese literary theory, and an exploration of research paths for ethnic minority literary theory.

The New Poetry Anthology has had an important influence in the process of dissemination and canonization of modern vernacular new poetry. The earliest known anthology of new poems, "New Poems (Part 1)", was published in January 1920, two months earlier than Hu Shi's "Anthology Collection". Compared with the publication of personal poetry collections, various "new poetry anthologies" that collected new poems from various schools not only had a profound impact on the literary world at that time, but their research value deserves the attention of today's scholars. However, anthologies of early vernacular poetry are still scarce documents and have never been seen by most readers except for a few poetry literature experts. "Three Selections of Early Vernacular Poems" includes "Collection of New Poems (Part 1)" (published by the Publishing Department of the New Poetry Society in January 1920), "Selected Collections of Classified Vernacular Poems (One: Five Hundred New Poems)" (published by Shanghai Chongwen Bureau on August 8, 1920) and "Annual Selections of New Poems (1919)" (Published by Shanghai Yadong Library in August 1922), these three poetry anthologies are the earliest known vernacular poetry anthologies, and their selections are precisely the new vernacular poetry of the "May Fourth Movement" period. These three documents are of great benefit to poetry lovers and modern literature researchers in re-understanding early new vernacular poetry. For the convenience of readers, this book has reorganized and arranged the original works while converting them into traditional and simplified versions. While complying with the new publishing standards, this book presents these three poetry selections as closely as possible to the original text for the enjoyment of readers.

The Pre-modern Footprint of Western Progress Narratives

Guo Xiaolei

208K0

By conducting a horizontal and vertical review of texts from different periods and sequences in Western history, this book strives to find multiple perspectives for understanding the texts, and explores how the "progress narrative" formed, implicitly or explicitly, "before modernity." This book is directly inspired by reality. After all, we living in "postmodernity" are still somewhat inspired by the promise of "progress", and this promise does not come directly from classical China. Exploring the origins of the stories and concepts of "progress" in the West is not only relevant to knowledge, but also to our daily lives. Texts and concepts are not the products of industrial lathes, nor are they the food grown on the land, but the products of thinking - the direct soil where thinking phenomena occur is the history of thinking itself. Out of respect for this basic reality, the tracking of "progress" in this book will be based on grasping the spiritual context and spiritual motivations on which this narrative and conceptual system is generated.

Whether in China or the West, in literature and art, "surprise" is a hidden topic that has received widespread attention and has been mentioned by commentators throughout the ages. In the history of Western philosophy, it is generally believed that philosophy originated from surprise. The ancient Greeks were even more surprised by the harmony between man and existence and the unity with all things. Surprise has always been imbued with a strong aesthetic color in ancient Chinese literature and art. It can also be said to be one of the highest value orientations of its literary and artistic ideals. The so-called "words that are not surprising will never stop", "the pen falls in the storm", "the poem becomes so weeping ghosts and gods", etc. Can be regarded as unique descriptions of the aesthetic effect of surprise. Excellent literary and artistic works can often cause strong psychological shock in the recipients, and with their strong artistic appeal, they are repeatedly chanted and amazed by future generations. Wandering around in this kind of works is like wandering in Zhuze or Denglin, wandering with your eyes wandering, feeling your spirit galloping, your soul swaying, and your heart startled. At the same time, you feel as if you have reached a state of freedom and carefreeness, and you can get a materialized aesthetic psychological feeling. It is an indescribable spiritual meeting and spiritual connection, "peak beauty" and "peak passion". At the moment of greatest emotional concentration, you can indulge in the surprising moment of aesthetics and enjoy the passion and joy that comes from it. It can be said that surprise makes the object suddenly open up from its daily concealed state, showing an aesthetic charm that is rarely seen in ordinary times.

This book takes Nie Hualing, Yu Lihua, Bai Xianyong and other writers who studied in North America from Taiwan as the research object, and points out that their creations after the 1980s are quite different from the "overseas student literature" of the 1960s and 1970s. In their later writing, writers integrated into the local culture and constructed their own identity in the United States through writing about their "new home"; they pursued the roots of culture and continued their parent culture through writing about their "homeland"; they used "marginal" writing to reconstruct the identity legitimacy of minority groups and deconstruct the "center-periphery" power structure of mainstream discourse. The "Group of Foreign Student Writers" in North America "goes to the West and returns to the East" with their later writing.
