In Defense Of Hu Shih's Revision Of The 81St Trial In A Journey To The West, Hongbo Zhu
In Defense Of Hu Shih's Revision Of The 81St Trial In A Journey To The West, Hongbo Zhu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
There has been no agreement in evaluating Hu Shih's revision of the 81st trial in A Journey in the academic circle. This paper takes the perspective of reception aesthetics and hermeneutics to approach the issue and claims the reasonability of Hu's revision. In the reader response in the process of reading, the agency of the reader's subjecthood should be fully acknowledged to be legitimate, while the merits or demerits of the revision may be subjected to individual evaluation.
