Features: Due to the complexity of various poetic theorists, they may belong to a certain school but not completely; they may simultaneously belong to several schools or not belong to any at all; they might advocate for Romanticism in their early years but later lean towards Realism; they could once support the aesthetic theory but later shift to utilitarianism, and so on. Faced with this complexity, this book primarily takes poetic theorists as a to showcase the main ideas and achievements of modern Chinese poetic theory and criticism. At the same time, it does not focus on struggles in literary thought but emphasizes the study of poetic theory, striving to organize academically valuable perspectives on poetic theory.
