Reach "Harmony" By "Reviewing"

"Theory of Reader's Interpretation against Writer's "of Mencius is an original concept in ancient theory of Chinese literature which offered the new way to expatiate the Book of Songs.. It not only expressed the implied meaning found in the poetry, but also built a creative pattern of explanation. It greatly influenced the traditional criticism and echoed in this field.This paper, based on the "retrospect", tells us how to inspect and experience the history by means of distance in time and space. The process of mixing self-point view with historic visual scope produced deeper implication of text. What's more, such explanation implies a rise in generalizability.In modern times, a new individualized ideology is quite popular. Still, the Mencius' criticism, which extends from history, to morality and to politics, is of value and has potential to probe. Its way to expatiate the text can be a frame of reference for our traditional definition of implied meaning. And in social-oriented criticism especially in the noise of deconstruction, the factor of its social commonality and the pattern of mixture of history and ethic make us reflect on humanism. It just matches Mencius' idealistic life.
