The Aesthetic Paradigm and Genealogy of Overseas Modern Chinese Literary History Writing
From the 1960s to the present,the history of modern Chinese literature in the United States has been written with diverse ideas and remarkable achievements.The most representative writing paths are Chih-tsing Hsia's New Critical Aesthetics,Kai-Yu Hsu's political aesthetics,and David Der-wei Wang's postmodern aesthetics.The changes in aesthetic paradigms in different periods reflect many factors such as changes in Sino-US relations,the impact of Western literary theoretical trends,and the internal changes in the history of Sinology.The intertwined historical context of internal and external factors generates the dialectics and deconstructive ideas of literary history and historical literature.By examining the different aesthetic paradigms and pedigrees of the three Chinese scholars,we can better reveal the overall context of writing the history of modern Chinese literature in the United States,and provide cross-cultural interpretation ideas for mutual learning and exchange for domestic literary history research.
