Features: This book is a selected collection of Ming Dynasty literary theory. The selected writers cover a broad range, and the chapters included for each writer are carefully chosen to best represent their theoretical views and valuable representative works, aiming to clearly reflect the development of literary theory during this historical period. The arrangement of literary theorists is based on their birth and death years rather than their schools of thought. Before each selected chapter, there is a brief introduction to the life of the literary theorist and a concise commentary on their theoretical views for reference. Each selected piece is accompanied by notes indicating the source volume and title for easy reference. Since there are many works on Ming Dynasty poetry discussions, a separate book has been dedicated to them, and none are included in this collection.
