Features: Reading can reveal a person. Promoting academic exchange, resolving misunderstandings and misinterpretations, and reducing cultural friction are powerful two wings. When we read works on Sinology by Japanese scholars, if we do not just listen to what they say but further think about why they say it and what the differences are between their research and Chinese domestic studies, then these materials may evolve into more useful intellectual resources for expanding the fields of domestic cultural research and foreign cultural research. This book is one of the volumes in "A Collection of Japanese Sinological Writings." The author, Izuyama Kenji, is a renowned Japanese sinologist who dedicated his life to the study of ancient Chinese literature and has written extensively. In this book, Mr. Izuyama does not focus solely on Wang Wei's poetry and prose but places the poet in the broader historical context and the smaller interpersonal environment to study, thereby forming his own unique insights. The book is well-researched, offers a distinctive perspective, and features delicate writing.
