Features: This book conducts an analysis and research on the materials related to aesthetic issues contained in the late Ming period's short prose, examining the evolution and development of people's aesthetic tastes and social aesthetic trends during the late Ming period, and analyzing their relationship with the artistic and cultural spirit of the time. At the same time, it analyzes the status and value of short prose, its aesthetic characteristics in creation and appreciation, especially the differences in content and form between it and traditional mainstream literature, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. The intention is to provide a comprehensive and systematic organization of this literary form, which is very important in the history of ancient Chinese literature but has never been well-researched, from an aesthetic perspective.
