Professor ZHANG Hui’s lecture will focus on Zhu Zhiqing’s (1898-1948) criticism on ,Shi Daxu (Great Preface), in order to revisit the longstanding dialogue between the aesthetic and the political interpretations of Shijing. Prof. Zhang hopes that this rereading will help us not only to consider the challenges confronted by modern hermeneutics, but also to revalue the quarrels between the ancients and the moderns in the context of literary criticism.
