Features: In 1983, the author wrote the book The Poetic God of Distant Journey, which became a highly influential work in the study of comparative literature in China's new era and was awarded the Comparative Literature Research First Prize by the Comparative Literature Association of China. However, the original print run was extremely limited, making it a rare collector's item in academia. Over the past two decades, through continuous teaching and research, the author has gathered extensive materials and thoroughly rewritten the book, extending the examination period from the 19th century to the present day. It meticulously outlines the grand narrative of three stages: "Future-Change-Post-Change," and against this backdrop, presents a convincing analysis: Chinese poetics, philosophy, and religion were key influences in the modern transformation of American poetry.
