Features: This book is based on the author's doctoral dissertation. It redefines the concept of rewriting to encompass the history of ancient fiction and drama, exploring the theoretical implications of rewriting as a literary creation method, reception approach, and dissemination tool from the perspectives of creative theory, reception theory, and communication theory. It reveals the scale, pathways, methods, and means by which Tang Dynasty fiction influenced later literature, with the central argument being: the influence of literature lies in its reception. This book provides a scientific interpretive framework and critical perspective for understanding the continuous inheritance and development of literature across different eras. The academic community highly praises this book: "It offers a fresh perspective on the study of Chinese fiction history; it is a highly noteworthy and independent research field; and it holds methodological implications for the discipline of Chinese fiction historiography" (Researcher Tao Wenpeng). "It holds significant academic value for re-integrating the history of fiction and the history of narrative literature, with major theoretical implications as well" (Professor Yan Qi).
