Ren Jian Ci Hua by Wang Guowei did not arouse any significant interest from the society of Ci-poetry in the late Qing Dynasty,nor did his theory of poetics bring forth any cultural influence around the period of Xinhai Revolution in 1911. Only after the May Fourth New Culture Movement did the book begin to gain a rising reputation through the praises from Hu Shi and others. In 1930’s- 1940’s,such scholars as Tang Guizhang wrote to critizise Wang’s theory of poetics. In 1950’s- 1960’s,the scholars,trained in Soviet Union literary tradition,made a great number of researches on Wang’s poetics,and this helped the book be canonized. Their critical interest is mainly in the correspondence between Ren Jian Ci Hua and the literary theories in Soviet Union tradition. They spoke highly of Wang’s theory on artistic conception,and regard it as the closest practice to western modern literary theories in ancient Chinese literary theories. Ren Jian Ci Hua became a magnum opus of ancient Chinese poetics through scholars’ further efforts in 1980’s- 1990’s,and the theory on artistic conception in ancient China put forward by Wang has been constantly constructed in the framework of western theories. Indeed,Wang’s theory on artistic conception is one of the instances of what Eric Hobsbawm defines as the invention of tradition. Once we take the theory of artistic conception,which was invented by Wang with his knowledge of classic German aesthetics as the central category and aesthetic ideal of ancient Chinese poetics,we are indeed digging a tomb up for the poetic tradition and aesthetic ideal of our nation.
