"Alogia"Status in Chinese Literary Theory and the Possibility of"Reconstructing"

Ancient Chinese literary theory can only be regarded as a form of knowledge,lacking its effects on the daily life of Chinese literature.In modern times,general literary theory virtually consists of two types—ancient literary theory and Western literary theory.Chinese literary theory had run into predicament at the beginning of 1950s.It's impossible to construct a giant all-inclusive system that comprises Chinese literary theory and Western literary theory-simply because it's not authentic to combine diverse conceptions,positions and critics into a single one.The fundamental reason why Chinese and Western literary theories cannot be merged but integrated is heterogeneity of these two theories.Reconstructing doesn't amount to pushing over for rebuilding.Ancient Chinese literary theory and Western literary theory can simultaneously exist as long as world literature survives.
