In the rapid progress of modernization,the discursive hegemony of modernity has created a trend of assimilation of narrative methods in Chinese literary theory.It enables us to read from an"other"perspective a meaning that we have never read before,but it also leads to the obscuring of the inherent qualities of the Chinese aesthetic tradition,and the farther-reaching effect is the disappearance of the independence of the Chinese literary discursive system.The basic interest of Chinese culture,which emphasizes recognition and personal testimony,has defined the unique approach and orientation of Chinese literary criticism.Unlike the Western aesthetic tradition,which emphasizes representation,seeks the resemblance in form and favors realistic writing,the classical Chinese aesthetic approach expression,seeks resemblance in spirit and favors freehand brushwork.Chinese aesthetic creation always has a moral load.That is,it plays the function of ethical edification,thus rejecting aestheticism.Chinese culture is essentially an aesthetic and poeticized culture.In dealing with the challenges of modernity,how to maintain and defend the autonomy of Chinese culture is a task we must face up to.Constructing an autonomous discursive system for Chinese literary theory is one of the most important and indispensable aspects.
