Features: Based on the dual need to reflect on the current state of Chinese literary studies and to reconstruct a new paradigm of literary history research that integrates time and space, this book aims to establish Chinese literary geography as its academic objective. Supported by the theoretically original "two-pronged approach" of "scene restoration" and "map reconstruction," it endeavors to reveal the manifestations and evolutionary patterns of Chinese literary geography through interdisciplinary research between literature and geography, systematically constructing an academic framework for Chinese literary geography. In light of this, the book focuses on the five key elements that determine and influence Chinese literary geography, starting from the "local geography" of the birthplaces of literary figures, and sequentially expanding to the river basin axis, urban axis, and literary migration axis. Finally, it concludes with the exploration of the "regional rotation" model and its evolution. The entire book adopts multiple methods such as statistical data analysis, logical deduction, temporal-spatial restoration, and cross-comprehensive synthesis, striving to achieve a balance between macro-level speculation and empirical analysis. With comprehensive and well-documented content, it holds significant theoretical value and practical implications for advancing interdisciplinary integration and academic innovation in Chinese literary studies.
