Multidimensional Perspective and Systematic Construction of Chinese “Theory of Literary Significance”

  • In the era of globalization of literary theory construction,we should continue to contribute to the “Chinese experience” through the continuous discovery and new construction of China's indigenous literary theory tradition.As a major tradition in Chinese literary theory,the theory of literary significance originated from the predicament of “words cannot fully express literary significance” “words fail to convey significance” and “literature cannot fully convey significance”,and emerged through various discussions and arguments aimed at resolving this confusion.It mainly includes the theory of “clarifying images to fully convey significance” at the level of author's artistic conception,as well as the theories of “fully conveying significance through various means”“conveying significance through three ways” and “meaning emerges naturally with the pen” in terms of conveying significance;the theory of “observing images to comprehend significance” at the level of readers'aesthetic reception,as well as the theories of “having profound significance”,“significance beyond words”,and “only comprehensible through intuition,not words” in terms of accepting literary significance.In addition,traditional literary significance theory often divides the existence form of literary significance into three parts from a cognitive perspective,namely,pre-literary intention,literary significance,and post-literary sentiment;and attempts to achieve a coherent connection between the three through establishing internal and external coherence of the three literary significance,with “sentiment” as the core.Through continuous accumulation and precipitation,Chinese literary significance theory has formed a long-standing tradition and profound implications.Compared with Western significance theory,which emphasizes symbols and forms,Chinese literary significance theory features a focus on imagery and literary nature.We can continuously conduct multidimensional observation and systematic construction based on literary theory concepts such as “ understanding people and commenting on the world ” “interpreting the author's intention through one's own ” and “language,image and significance”.
