ABSTRACT: Today’s literary criticism
has reached a deadlock between dogmatic theory criticism and theory of
immanence criticism, and lacks a spirit of “dialogue”. This kind of “dialogue”
is not to obliterate the discourse right of other literature, but a kind of “harmony but difference”, which is the balance
of subjectivity. It is not the rigid binding of the local experience that is
cut one-sidedly by western experience, but a kind of “not holding a corner”, which is explained
in two directions and equally. It is not the stiff patchwork of various
theoretical discourses, but the fusion of horizons based on inherent logic and
identity.
