To better read Chinese literary texts for the sake of tracing “Chineseness,” there are various ways of studying them. The first theory is Nie Zhenzhao’s Ethical Literary Criticism, which is a theoretical effort of establishing a local Chinese literary criticism theory. The second way is to pay more attention to the Chinese Narratology proposed by Yang Yi, which aims at discovering the Chinese narrative tradition that is different from the western understanding of narrative in time, space, narrative angles and so on. Yang's literary geography theory is also a method exploring Chineseness taking the unique geographical factors affecting Chinese literature into consideration. The third theory relates to introducing comparative approaches to Chinese literary studies, and attaches more importance to the distinctive cultural factors that can define Chineseness. The fourth theory is about the concept of “Chinese literatures” which includes all literary works written in the Chinese language in the range of Chinese literary studies, eliminating regional or political factors that hinder effective communication among scholars of the same domain. The fifth one is to pick up the traditional method of literary criticism in ancient China, poetry notes, which is to understand the writer or the poet's thoughts and the essence of the piece of writing by epiphany, a Buddhist way of obtaining ultimate truth. All these five that bear prominent “Chineseness” in themselves can contribute to the discovery and understanding of “Chineseness” in literature and offer inspiration to people around the world who are curious about what literature has contributed to the continuation of Chinese culture through a long history.
