Features: This book selects 14 fundamental issues commonly discussed in Chinese and Western literary theory as chapter structures, all of which are shared by literary activities. The introduction of each chapter strives to examine the issue within a specific historical context, presenting as many perspectives of predecessors and others as possible. Following each chapter introduction, several research papers discussing the issue from different perspectives are selected, each preceded by a brief guide to provide multi-angle and multi-aspect insights into various factors of literary activities, thereby constructing a platform for Sino-Western dialogue, ancient-modern dialogue, and teacher-student dialogue. Each chapter also includes three supplementary sections related to the issue: extended reading, questions and reflections, and research practice. These sections gradually delve deeper into the issue, further guiding students to engage in exploratory learning and enabling them to grasp the issue with a progression from general knowledge to rational thinking, and then to academic research, demonstrating a phased and hierarchical leap in understanding.
