The Hold and Blindness of Overseas Sinology——Taking Xia Zhiqing's Evaluation of The True Story of Ah Qas an Example

As the first person on the study of Chinese modern history of literature,Xia Zhiqing can blend the view of Chinese and Western.His History of Modern Chinese Fiction is a valuable overseas Sinology research.The use of Chinese and Western theories of literary criticism guides the development of Chinese new literary fiction,which not only narrows the gap between the Chinese literature and world literature,but also gives Zhang Ailing,Shen Congwen,Qian Zhongshu and other writers due position.But the source of theory,ideological tendency,critical stance and other aspects are very different,although have many originality,also cause a lot of controversy,especially the low evaluation of Lu Xun.By Mr.Xia's interpretation of Ah Q we can see the difficult choice of the overseas Chinese studies between art and life.
