This groundbreaking work departs from previous research, which primarily focused on historical descriptions and individual writers and works, by establishing a comprehensive analytical system and a multi-faceted methodology to examine Chinese literature. In ancient China, the concept of pure literature was not well-defined. By considering both modern notions of literature and their corresponding traditional counterparts, this book delves into a wide range of literary genres, including Shi and Fu poetry, Ci poems, and Qu verses, as well as novels and essays. The four chapters present in-depth analyses of the origins, developments, structures, and styles of these various genres, with a particular focus on examining representative works. It is noteworthy that the book is written from an individual perspective, with the author expressing his profound impressions and insights gained through his reading experiences. Furthermore, the book offers fresh and thought-provoking perspectives, enriching and inspiring related research endeavors.

This book is of immense appeal to scholars and students of Chinese literature and comparative literature, as well as to individuals with a deep interest in Chinese literature and Chinese culture. Its comprehensive approach and insightful discussions make it a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this rich and complex literary tradition.
