Features: This book, through the analysis of a large amount of commentarial materials on the Classic of Poetry from the pre-Qin to the Sui-Tang dynasties, explores the developmental trajectory of literary interpretation of the Classic of Poetry, evaluates its hermeneutic value and significance, and reveals the complex interrelationship between the Confucian hermeneutics and literary interpretation of the Classic of Poetry. It also elaborates on the rich connotations of literary interpretation, not only significantly expanding the spatial capacity of the history of literary interpretation of the Classic of Poetry, but also drawing some innovative conclusions: literary interpretation is the ontological interpretation of the Classic of Poetry. During the literary activities comprising literary creation and literary criticism from the pre-Qin to the Sui-Tang dynasties, the literary interpretation of the Classic of Poetry has always evolved and developed relatively independently. It serves as a reference for teaching and research in classical literature and related disciplines.
