Features: The Department of Ancient Literature at Shanghai University has gradually established a vibrant and dynamic faculty team, forming three interconnected yet distinct research directions: the history of literature and literary historiography, Chinese poetic literature and theory, and mythology and folk literature. This collection of essays is categorized and selected according to these three aspects. The included papers not only reflect the research expertise and characteristics of each author but also demonstrate a collaborative yet independent approach, bridging ancient and modern literature, as well as integrating literature, history, philosophy, and other disciplines in a holistic academic pursuit. The title is inspired by the Buddhist story of "building a pagoda with sand," embodying a diligent and pragmatic scholarly ethos, offering valuable insights for the academic community.
