The Category Without Category:The Issue of Stylistic Characteristics in Modern Chinese Prose—Also in Discussion with professer Wang Weidong
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.
