How to Study Traditional Chinese Literary Theory

Literary theory is a discipline that studies the principles and principles concerning the nature, characteristics, laws of development and social role of literature. It is a discipline of literature and art. The traditional custom divides literary studies into three categories: literary theory, literary history and literary criticism. They all take literature as the object of study, and they all require the combination of historical and realistic literary theory with the study of literary history and logic. Literary history focuses on the historical study of literature; literary criticism focuses on the realistic study of literature; and literary theory focuses on the logical study of literature.
