Features: This book is one of the important works of Mr. Zhu Guangqian. It tells how he engaged with literature and how he embarked on the path of aesthetic theory research, sharing some joys and sorrows, insights, and delights. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, centered around poetry or poetry theory, interspersed with brilliant critiques of the thoughts of Chinese and Western aestheticians such as Wang Guowei, Plato, and Matthew Arnold, providing an in-depth explanation of literary theory. "Reading this collection is like sitting across from Mr. Mengshi, listening to him chat in a warm and engaging manner," and "unconsciously, we are influenced by him, at least gaining a deeper and broader understanding of literature."
