Features: This book is a rare academic theoretical monograph, with content that is both novel and profound, thoroughly researched yet inspiring. The author, with professional knowledge and a unique perspective, guides readers into a literature theory world that is no longer dull, enhancing the literary literacy of contemporary college students and literature enthusiasts. The author is a professor at Peking University and a doctoral supervisor in literature, serving as a frontline expert in long-term literary research. At the same time, the book holds high academic research value. During the process of compiling the collection, I felt a mix of joy and shame. The joy lies in some of the works and articles included in the collection, which, though many years have passed—the oldest are nearly twenty years old—can still be read today. I was surprised that my words and thoughts from many years ago still remain alive, and even felt a sense of pride. This collection consists of two parts: one is literary works, and the other is academic writings. Many of the articles included in the collection have vividly and sufficiently expressed my series of literary beliefs. In terms of literary views, I might be someone who leans towards the classical while being somewhat extremist and difficult to persuade.
