Features: "Imitation and Representation" refers to poetic and prose works completed through the methods of "imitation" and "representation"; "Gift and Response" refers to "gift-response poetry," which is a type of poetry used by scholars to communicate and interact. Since the Han and Wei dynasties, these two types of literature have been the major works of scholars at the time. The former preserves the trajectory of the progression and transformation of the humanistic world; the latter depicts the individual existence context of the contemporary moment and the multiple relational networks intertwined with it. The various literary styles of this period are vividly revealed through their formation, development, and mutual influence. This book uses the "imitation and representation" and "gift and response" of the Han, Wei, and Six Dynasties as its primary material and attempts to propose several new concepts. It not only repositions the misunderstood phenomenon of imitation and representation in literary history but also conducts an in-depth exploration of the gift-response poetry, which has long been neglected.
