Features: This book mainly consists of several chapters that discuss the research achievements and research styles of classical literature scholars, as well as the methods of classical literature research. It is a unique academic monograph and a distinctive academic history. The book is a revised and collected edition of the author's numerous articles on academic history and classical literature research methods over the years. These articles revolve around a central theme: how the study of Chinese literature, particularly classical literature, promotes tradition and moves toward modernity. China in the 20th century endured immense hardships, but our ancient homeland and hundreds of millions of people moved resolutely toward modernization, and the modernization process of literary research kept pace with this trend. Summarizing the academic history of literary research in the last century can be said in one word: moving from tradition to modernity. Looking ahead at the academic prospects and clarifying one's responsibilities, the task should be to continue moving forward and better integrate the promotion of tradition with the pursuit of modernity to form a new tradition that can better adapt to global trends. For this purpose, it is naturally essential to learn from the experiences of predecessors and contemporary scholars.
