Various Western postmodern literary theories,which began in the 1980s and 1990s,have made epoch-making achievements in politics and ideology by comprehensively reflecting on and criticizing,and even subverting,the orthodox concepts of rationality with anti-essentialism,but the questioning of literature has drowned out the specificity of literature with the universality of its cultural criticism,leading to the mainstream of literary hypocrisy and anti-aesthetics.Although afterward the so-called new aesthetics claimed to be the"vengeance"of aesthetics,the linear thinking of linguistic centrism that excluded psycho-sentimentality still remained the same.At the time of this century's great cultural changes,we should construct Chinese literary theory by practicing the idea of truth and dialectic method in combination with the excellent tradition of Chinese literature,so as to make the prominence of historical sense.In line with the principle of the primacy of the text,this article firstly summarizes from the classical works that literary texts are not a linear relationship of a single cause and effect of linguistic centrality,but a three-dimensional structure of surface imagery,the middle layer of the meaning of veins,and the deep literary forms.The overall structure of the text is not only quantitatively greater than the sum of its elements,but also in nature,"qualitatively different in form and quality".The failure of Western literature lies even more in the passive reception of the text as a finished product,and the homogenization of the finished product as a result overwhelms the richness and complexity of its causes.Effective interpretation should,as Heidegger puts it,"enter into the process of creating the work",so as to see the craftsmanship of the writer's creation.Imagine yourself as the author,imagine yourself how to master the imagery,the vein,the form,and compare with the classic texts to discover the gaps between,which is expected to shift from looking up to climbing the height of the classics.
