ancient chinese literature theory

The ancient Chinese literature theory is not rational but poetic, because it's text is literary, style is esthetic and form is artistic.

中国古代文论以论说之体而具诗赋之性，其批评文体的文学化、语言风格的美文化和理论形态的艺术化，共同铸成文论之“体”的诗性特质。

"Wenqi" is a very important category in the Chinese ancient literature theory.

“文气”是中国古代文艺理论中非常重要的范畴。

There wasn't the word of "symbol" in esthetics category of Ancient China, but it could not explain there weren't symbolic literature theory in Chinese ancient literature.

在中国古代美学范畴中虽没有“象征”一词，但这并不能说明中国古代文学当中没有象征性的文学理论。
