Features: From the author's aesthetic tendencies and the aesthetic characteristics of the works, it primarily reflects the pursuit of sublime beauty and the creation of magnificent artistic scenes. This is particularly evident in the poetry and prose describing the Yangtze Three Gorges, the Goddess of Wu Mountain, and the scenic spots of Bashu. It is worth mentioning that Bashu poetry and prose generally present a pure and sincere beauty—depicting real landscapes, expressing genuine emotions, seeking truth, and finding genuine interest. Even when describing mythical figures or absurd scenes, the writers pour their true personalities into their flights of imagination. As a result, the works are rich in substance, possess a soul, have individuality, and bear their distinct marks. These works are undoubtedly the essence of Bashu poetry and prose.
The "Bashu Culture Series," organized and compiled by Chongqing Publishing House, is one of the key books under the "Four Plus One" project, an initiative overseen by the Propaganda Department of the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. It invites relevant experts and scholars to contribute, aiming to systematically present the rich connotations of Bashu culture from a broad perspective, multidimensional approach, and comprehensive coverage. The series not only holds academic value but also helps enhance the understanding of Bashu culture's historical evolution, regional characteristics, and cultural landscape among various groups. It also plays a positive role in shaping Chongqing's image as a historical and cultural city.
