The Core of Literature: The Origin of Traditional Literature and Its Modern Interpretation

(Abstract)

Dai Dengyun

In Dragon Carving and Literary Mind, the “intention for writing” not only refers to the “subjective feelings of writers,” but also refers to the wonderful use of “the core of literature,” i.e., the operation and occurrence of “the heart of heaven and earth.” “The core of literature” not only metaphorizes “astronomy, geography, culture” respectively, but also regards the three as a whole echoing each other. The key of this expression system is the antithesis structure of “the core of literature” and “literary style.” “Literary style” has a mechanism of different dislocation, and accordingly, “the core of literature” can recognize the intention of this complex mechanism of different dislocation.
