Features: This book elaborates on new approaches to the study and writing of poetic history, shifting poetic studies from static research to dynamic research. It provides a "descriptive" method for the history of ancient Chinese literary criticism and poetics, with "poetic context" (primarily the relationship between "poem and criticism") as the object of description. It creates a new method for the appreciation of literary poetics, offering a "poetic synthesis" explanation method for the appreciation of ancient literature and the interpretation of contemporary aesthetic phenomena. The emphasis on the empirical elaboration of the "poem-criticism" relationship provides methodological inspiration for comparative poetics between the East and the West, as well as the transformation of ancient literary theory into modern theory.
