Features: If one is to seek the main common points between Qian Zhongshu and Lu Xun, it is that he, like Lu Xun, draws from both Eastern and Western cultures, blending ancient and modern, serving as a "matchmaker" between Eastern and Western cultures. His Discussions on Art and Literature cites over 1,100 sources from both China and the world, including 130 different poetic commentaries from various dynasties, leaving no representative work in the history of Chinese poetic commentaries untouched. His The Canon of the Yellow Clapper cites works by over 4,000 authors, including more than 1,000 Western writers and scholars, with approximately 1,800 Western works involved. His erudition is so profound that it leaves one in awe.
