Features: Traditional literary theory refers to the literary theories of over two thousand years before the May Fourth Movement. Compared to modern and contemporary literary theories, it has already become a part of history. So, in our reading and understanding, does it establish a dialogue with us? If it does, does its significance continue and proliferate in this dialogue?
