(Abstract)

 

Hu Youfeng

 

The phenomenon of Chinese literary theory “Going Global” has existed for long. We bring it up again because it is closely related to the crisis of literary theory in the world. Contemporary Western literary theory has generally become the field of expropriation for philosophical theories, which leads to the crisis of literary theory and the invalidity of text interpretation. Textual poetics, which is based on the review of traditional Chinese poetry, will bridge the gap between literary theory and literary criticism.
