​A Comparative Study on Chinese and Western Literary Thoughts

Project Introduction: 

This project focuses on the comparison of multiple texts in Chinese and Western literary ideas through a review of types and traditions within classic cases. While exploring the common poetic characteristics of Chinese and Western literary and artistic traditions, the project highlights the differences in the fundamental value orientations of Chinese and Western literary and artistic ideas, and conducts in-depth analysis in order to explore the contemporary significance of the inheritance, dissemination, and development of different civilizations.
