Insight between the Original Work and the Revised Work:Rereading Qian Zhongshu's Chinese Poetry and Chinese Painting
"Bibliology"and "academic history"are two perspectives in rereading the 1978-revised version of Chinese Poetry and Chinese Painting:Since the 1990s,the academic community has mainly fo-cused on the former,confirming that there were six versions of this article before and after 1949.As for the comparison between the 1978-revised version and the 1947-Kaiming version of the original work,a-part from doubling the length,what exactly is the connotation that the author put into the revised version?It needs to resort to the perspective of"academic history".This article provides three viewpoints on the re-vised version and the original work in terms of the "academic history"study.Firstly,the original work fo-cuses on discussing the influence and status of Wang Wei's"Shenyun style"as a symbol in the "painting"system,which is not consistent or symmetrical with its influence and status in the "poetry"system.Sec-ondly,the author keenly sensed that the logical modeling of"presenting alienation between poetry and painting"could be used to imply the academic history he recognized as the "current confrontation between wind and atmosphere",which may be the internal driving force behind his revised version.Thirdly,scholars only need to chew on the"Author-He"repeatedly mentioned in the revised version,and read it as"Qian Zhongshu-I"in a given context.It is not difficult to comprehend what kind of inspiration the revised version intends to leave for future generations.
