Features: This book explores the unique "bridge" significance of Lao She's literature. The entire book starts with the concept of a "bridge" as its narrative point, focusing on penetrating Lao She's texts that carry multiple cultural loads of local (Manchu), national (Han), and global (Western) origins to touch upon the cultural lineage and cultivation unique to Lao She. By combining comprehensive case analysis of the texts, the book extends its reflections to a deep understanding of the subtle interplay and fusion patterns of Manchu-Han, old-new, and Eastern-Western cultural dynamics in Lao She's speech, where light and shadow, strength and weakness, or implicit connections intertwine. This further explores the trajectory of Lao She's cultural psychology. Additionally, through Lao She's artistic "tricks," the book clearly analyzes his Manchu cultural psychological complex, the nourishment from Han culture, and the influence of Western culture.
