Born at the end of the feudal dynasty,Lin Shu explored ancient Chinese prose from the pre-Qin pe-riod to the Qing Dynasty,and sorted out many conceptual categories,origins and even grammar skills,leaving a large number of insightful theoretical works and commentaries,forming a relatively complete theoretical sys-tem of ancient prose,which can be called the"ending"of ancient prose theory,and adding new empirical materials and ideological resources to the modern transformation research of Chinese ancient prose theory.Lin Shu advocated learning from others and taking the best methods.As far as the prose theory of the Tongcheng school was concerned,his achievements of examination and transcendence were greater than those of inherit-ance and integration.Lin Shu translated Western novels and wrote a large number of preface and postscript works,emphasizing the attention of literature to ordinary life and the lower society,advocating"expressing feelings in details of daily life",thereby participating in the modernization process of traditional Chinese liter-ary theory.Although Lin Shu's adherence to ancient prose had the disadvantages of restoring ancient ways and being paranoid,which was abandoned by the new cultural trend after the May 4th movement,he also had rea-sonable opinions and useful thoughts on preserving traditional Chinese studies and inheriting culture,which are worthy of reference and reflection by the academic circles today.
