This book uses scholarly ethics as the starting point to explore new issues in the medieval period, mainly for two reasons: First, the true state of people's inner world can be expressed through language and words, and can also be revealed through behavioral tolerance; the former promotes the emergence of literature, and the latter leads to the formation of scholarly ethics. Although literature and scholarly ethics have different forms of existence, because they both originate from people's hearts, the internal relationship between them has always been close. Secondly, from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Qi and Liang Dynasties, the development of medieval literature went through multiple stages. Whenever it entered a new stage, the same or similar characteristics would gradually form in different works, and this characteristic was almost invariably consistent with the mainstream scholarly style at that time. Fully grasping the points of convergence between the two will not only help us accurately and clearly describe the evolution trajectory of medieval literature, but also help us elucidate the complex reasons for its changes from a deeper level.

Regarding the study of literary history, sages have made many achievements, which are mainly reflected in two aspects: one is general history, and the other is chronological history and specialized history. General history is large and complex, with comprehensive and continuous content. It is convenient to use as a reference book, but it is not convenient to carry. Relatively speaking, chronological history and specialized history are generally smaller in volume. Although it is more convenient to carry, it is not comprehensive and continuous enough. How to retain the comprehensive and continuous advantages of general history, while absorbing the lean and focused features of chronological history and specialized history, and integrating both into one book, which is easy to carry and read, but also has clear chronological lines, clear historical context, and clear overall outline, became the original intention and motivation for writing this book.

Shakespeare or Cervantes, Homer or Dante, Chaucer or Rabelais, the real function of reading their works is to enhance the growth of the inner self. Deep study of the scriptures does not make people better or worse, nor does it make citizens more useful or harmful. The mind's self-talk is not inherently a social reality. The whole point of the Western classics is to enable people to make good use of their loneliness, the ultimate form of which is a person's encounter with his own death.

As the "Collection of Chinese Language and Literature" written by my friends Zhang Shuangting and Zhao Xia is about to be published, I would like to accept the author's kindness and send me the proof to read it first. I hope I can write a few sentences as a preface after reading it. I couldn't refuse, either emotionally or rationally, but I was worried that because of the short time and too many chores, I wouldn't be able to read the collection of essays properly, and writing a few sentences would be meaningless. Surprisingly, I read from the beginning to the end without much effort. Because these articles are fascinating, the author uses bright and smooth language to explain the experience, practical knowledge and related theories about Chinese language. It is very interesting to read and you will not be able to put it down until you finish reading. After reading it, I gained a lot and felt a lot. I can only share the following thoughts to educate the author and readers.

The development of world culture to this day should be said to be a diversified development and cannot be blindly Europe-centered. Just like when we comment on whether a writer is great, we cannot use whether he has won the Nobel Prize for Literature as a criterion. Western colonialists insist that black Africa has no history and no culture, and attempt to write off Africa's long and splendid culture with just one stroke. This is of course a wishful thinking. "Essays on the Works of African Literary Writers" written by Yu Haodong, Yang Xiuqin, and Yu Renyuan collects and analyzes the works of the most famous writers on the African continent, telling you the history of civilization on the African continent. A set of five volumes of "Essays on the Works of African Literary Writers" is distributed internally to universities across the country.

This book is like a memoir, but the writing style is heavy and it strives for the true meaning of history many times. Some chapters of history inevitably involve the special era from the "Anti-Rightist Movement" to the "Cultural Revolution". The author was persecuted and tortured, experienced various tragedies, and temporarily lived in the "Peach Blossom Spring" during his exile. Some chapters are touching, including senior celebrities, famous writers, and ordinary people who have experienced hardships together. Some chapters describe scenery and the splendor of foreign places. There are also philosophical chapters that reflect on war, human nature, and evil. These articles, with their deep and vigorous writing, are full of contemplations on historical tragedies. In addition to tragedy, he can also strive to discover the goodness of human nature from ordinary and trivial daily life, and complete the transcendence of the sufferings of life.

"Literature as a Career" is a literary dialogue between three "post-80s" scholars. This dialogue starts from my own reading experience, literary taste, and knowledge-based construction, and explores the life implications and mission of taking "literature as a career" in the current context. On this basis, the dialogue discusses a series of topics from recent to distant, such as "Historical Writing in the New Century", "Literature of the 1980s", "Socialist Literature", "Modern Literary Tradition" and "Memorandum for Future Literature".

Why is life noble? The author focuses on the relationship between people and animals, and shows readers what the highest humanistic feelings are. Then, the author writes in depth, interpreting religious, philosophical thoughts and complex cultural phenomena, and finally asks: How is a new nation born? This is both a book of life wisdom and a profound social revelation.

Literature is an image reflection of social life that uses language as a tool, touches people with emotions. These inscriptions recorded in "Inscriptions of the Past Dynasties" embody profound and exquisite wisdom, staged scenes of wonderful historical blockbusters, and drew colorful historical scrolls. It has become a historical swan song that people still talk about today.

This book is a famous book by Mr. Wen Yiduo. Most of the articles in it were published in newspapers and magazines in the 1920s and 1930s, and were later compiled into a volume.

Introduction to "Drinking in Red Mansions for Years (The Affectionate and Affectionate Poems of Red Mansions)": The charm of Red Mansions, like the aroma of wine, has gone through more than two hundred years, and the sun and the moon have alternated for more than two hundred years.

The "Modernity" Issue in the Perspective of Contemporary Aesthetic Culture Criticism Wang Desheng Contemporary aesthetic culture theory and its critical practice must adhere to the position of "modernity" and devote themselves to the construction of "modernity" in contemporary Chinese culture in the process of criticism and reconstruction.

"A Hundred Years of Chinese Literature: A Hundred Years of Troubles in 1898" attempts to describe the ideological and cultural background of a hundred years of Chinese literature from the perspective of cultural and ideological history. "One Hundred Years of Chinese Literature: One Hundred Years of Troubles in 1898" took more than seven years from origin to realization. Its publication will provide a reference for the study of Chinese literature over the past century.

"The consciousness of Chinese literature" is the main issue that this book pays special attention to and focuses on. The author of Great Literature and Chinese Style attempts to construct the value picture of "Great Literature" and the subjectivity of "Chinese Literature" through detailed interpretation of specific texts and specific phenomena, reveal the charm and value of "Chinese Style", and then seek a positive "support consciousness" for current literary writing and literary reading. Great Literature and Chinese Style adhere to Sima Qian's writing ethics of "no false beauty, no hidden evil", no empty words, no nonsense, no lies. It embodies the author's consistent frank and serious critical attitude and careful reading and in-depth critical style, showing a positive critical attitude constructed through questioning. After these articles were published in newspapers and periodicals, they aroused great response and praise from readers. They were reprinted many times by many authoritative publications and won many awards.

In the early stage, it was enlightenment education and a cry for national salvation. In the later stage, it was first a praise of construction, and then a new image of China was reshaped through obscure revelations. He pointed out that the national image of a literary work should be a comprehensive factor of the high level of the literary work itself that enhances the aesthetic value and social significance of the work itself, so that the quality and influence of the work itself can be used to establish and enhance the national reputation of the place where the work was born. Wang Guoying (Zhejiang University) took Lu Xun's "Sorrow" and Xia Yan's "The End of the Grass" as examples and pointed out that although they were twenty years apart in terms of creation time and story time, the escape consciousness and behavioral logic hidden in the bones are surprisingly similar, and have historical inheritance, thus gaining universal value. Li Hangchun (Zhejiang University) took "Yu Dafu's 'A Tale of Two Cities'" as the title and pointed out that the presentation of Shanghai and Hangzhou in Yu Dafu's works reflects two different moods and also shows two different styles and realms of modern Chinese city images from one aspect.

The three major theoretical issues of literary trends, literary styles and literary classics present the inner ideological structure of literary criticism or critical hermeneutics. Through in-depth questioning of "why to criticize" and "how to criticize", through specific guiding practices of poetry, prose and novel criticism, and through theoretical confirmation of many cases of "how to become a critic", this book has become extremely ideologically operational and has theoretical explanatory power. Starting from literary trends of thought, the author discusses the successes and failures of literary and critical trends of thought; starting from literary styles, the author particularly emphasizes the uniqueness of poetry, prose and novel criticism, and demonstrates the value of free thought in literary criticism through case analysis; starting from literary classics, the author establishes an open view of literary classics and makes free legislation for the dual classic recognition of avant-garde literature and popular literature.

"Research on the Literary Language of Heroes of Sons and Daughters" edited by Li Zhen studies the literary language issues of the novel "Heroes of Sons and Daughters" in the late Qing Dynasty. It is characterized by taking the text as the core, starting from the bottom of the language, using interdisciplinary research methods such as linguistics, literature and art, aesthetics, semiotics and other interdisciplinary research methods, conducting microscopic inspections from multiple angles and levels, selecting objective and credible examples, and exploring the literary language art of "The Heroes of Sons and Daughters". In the more than 150 years since the publication of "The Heroes of Sons and Daughters", critics have mainly commented on it from the perspectives of history, literature, ethnology and anthropology. However, it is worth noting that the literary language and art of "Heroes of Sons and Daughters" have received relatively unanimous praise. However, the evaluations made by scholars so far are very general and lack specific research, and some are even biased.

This literary history written by Zheng Wanpeng does not aim to be "comprehensive", nor does it pay special attention to historical periodization like other works. Instead, it pays attention to selecting and commenting on those literary events and links that have the characteristics of the times and have had a significant impact in the fifty years of development of contemporary literature. For example, this book attaches great importance to the study of "founding literature" and proposes the concept of "founding literary trends" (of course, this is just one family's opinion and is not without discussion), and makes an innovative summary of this, pointing out that these works "show a sense of historical integrity and express the Chinese people's heartfelt welcome to a stable situation that has experienced turmoil and war." Such arguments and judgments are often displayed in this book, which is proof of the author's academic courage.

"Shuangchun Collection" is a collection of cultural prose essays. The author Wei Hongping, with his rigorous scholarly attitude and simple writing style, recorded his experiences in reading history, people, reading, film and television and other cultural and artistic works. Some of the articles that evaluate historical facts truly reflect their own views and do not follow others' opinions. They are of great historical value. The overall style of the article is fresh and elegant, and it is worth reading.

The eight young and middle-aged critics Duan Chongxuan, Fu Shuhua, Su Chunsheng, Chen Ping, Yang Zhanping, Hou Wenyi, Du Xuewen, and Wang Chunlin (in order of age) selected in the "Shanxi Literary Criticism Series" are the backbone of the Shanxi literary world. They are all still working and responsible for leadership or teaching in the fields of publicity, literature, education, and scientific research. They have been engaged in literary criticism for 20 to 30 years, and have published many monographs and critical articles. This book series embodies the overall achievements of Shanxi critics and is an important matter worthy of attention in Shanxi literary circles. It will play a certain role in further promoting the healthy development of literary creation in the province and even the country. "Life is Beautiful Because of You" is one of them, which collects the author's literary review articles, reflecting his academic level and review style.
