Features: This book is a college textbook for liberal arts under the National Seven-Five Plan. The entire work follows the spirit of Lu Xun's approach to writing literary history by "starting with compilation" and Yan Fu's advocacy for historical writing by "mining for evidence from the mountains." It breaks and re-establishes several old textbooks published before the Cultural Revolution, discarding many unsatisfactory chapters from the old curriculum. It emphasizes establishing arguments from a historical perspective, summarizing the new achievements and characteristics of writers and works in the long course of literary history, and exploring the objective laws of literary development and change. Not only does it add a considerable amount of new content and fill in the gaps and weaknesses of old textbooks, but it also makes significant innovations in its writing format. Additionally, it provides a wealth of research information, making it an important reference book and essential reading for lovers of classical literature, researchers of ancient literary history, and faculty and students of liberal arts at higher education institutions.
