Features: This book incorporates the study of Chinese novel aesthetics and its cognitive mechanisms into the ecological environment of Chinese local culture and the collision of Chinese and Western cultures. It argues for the isomorphism between the cognitive patterns of the novel and the cognitive schema of Chinese culture, examines the national characteristics of Chinese novel narrative art, and analyzes and empirically investigates the novel's cognitive patterns and narrative models that arise and evolve from the traditional Chinese cultural matrix and the guidance of modern cognitive thinking. This expands new theoretical space for exploring the aesthetics of Chinese novels.
