Features: "The Four Seas Poetic Discourse" and "The Jiangqi Poetic Discourse" are outstanding discussions on ancient Chinese literary theory. Xie Zhen's analysis begins with the style and tone of poetry, while Wang Fuzhi offers critical evaluations of poets from ancient times to the Ming Dynasty. Both approaches differ, but when compared, they are highly beneficial for improving one's appreciation of poetry.
