Features: The author, Ye Jiaying, is a renowned scholar celebrated both in China and abroad, with an impressive body of work and outstanding achievements. He has served as a professor at National Taiwan University, a visiting professor at Harvard University and the University of Michigan in the United States, and a lifetime professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada. He is currently the director of the Institute of Chinese Classical Culture at Nankai University and holds visiting professorships at several universities in China, as well as the honorary researcher position at the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. In 1989, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, becoming the only Chinese scholar to receive this honor in the field of literary studies. From the fourteen essays included in this book, where Ye Jiaying critiques and appreciates poetry, readers will deeply grasp the four key characteristics of his poetic theory: understanding the poet and their era, interpreting the poet's intentions, spanning the breadth of history, and integrating Eastern and Western perspectives. Moreover, by carefully reading this book, readers will also gain insight into the evolution of Ye Jiaying's research attitude and writing style—from subjective to objective, from to, from appreciation to theory, and from self-oriented to others-oriented.
