Features: The theory of modern Chinese prose has always been weak. In terms of creation, various schools and genres have already flourished, but when discussing what constitutes prose, it remains a topic without new insights under the sun. Liang Yuchun did not write any specialized theoretical articles, but his remarks on prose, scattered in prefaces, postfaces, and annotations of his works and translations, are full of insightful observations. These are casual remarks by a creator, which can be mutually with his prose. Liang Yuchun's introspective personality gives his prose the characteristic of "introspection." His sketches resemble an uninterrupted flow of thoughts, scattered without lingering too long in any one place, intertwining and connecting, with words flowing like water. In our classical prose, every time it broke free from the of "carrying the way" () and turned toward "expressing one's will" (), it emphasized the of personal spirit, but most of it was sentimental. Your kind of prose, which fully reveals the heart, is a reasonable supplement to our literature.
