Parts of Professor Wang Weidong's article"The Essay Tradition and the Reconstruction of Modern Chinese Prose Theory"discuss the characteristics of modern Chinese prose,emphasizing the prose evaluation criteria of"the inte-gration of human and writing",and some of the viewpoints and discussions are worth reconsidering.The characteristics of modern Chinese prose should be judged within the human-writing relationship dominated by human;it is a category without category.This rough classification bestow the prose-writing with independence,freedom,and comfort,allowing the writing activities to match writer's all linguistic needs,ultimately presenting the overall precision and global clarity of text.Howev-er,the direct presentation of"the integration of human and writing"cannot vividly reflect the characteristics of prose.
