Features: Reading can reveal people. Promoting academic exchange, resolving misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and reducing cultural friction are powerful two wings. When we read works on Sinology by Japanese scholars, if we do not just listen to what they say but further think about why they say it and what the differences are between their research and that conducted in China, then these materials may evolve into more useful intellectual resources for expanding research in both local culture and foreign culture. This book is one of the selections from Essays on Japanese Sinology, and the author, Tani Kazumasa, is a renowned Japanese sinologist who dedicated his life to the study of ancient Chinese literature, with a wealth of publications. In this book, Mr. Tani does not simply focus on Wang Wei's poetry and prose but places the poet in the historical context and interpersonal environment to study, thereby arriving at his own unique insights. The book is well-researched, offers a distinctive perspective, and features delicate writing.
