Wu Mi is one of the founders of comparative literature in China and a renowned cultural conservative in modern China. However, to this day, Wu Mi's academic achievements and ideas remain largely unstudied, and his image as a cultural conservative is often stereotyped and stereotyped. With this in mind, this book focuses on three key areas: a field Wu Mi devoted his life to (world literature), a subject he deeply valued (the Four Great Classical Traditions), and a literary work he particularly loved (The Dream of the Red Chamber). Through a careful reading of his diaries, poems, chronological biography, letters, and lecture notes, the author strives to reveal the specific content and multifaceted dimensions of Wu Mi's scholarship and thought. The author devotes considerable space to comparing Wu Mi with leading scholars of his time, highlighting his unique understanding of the relationship between ancient and modern, East and West, old and new, the role of the Four Great Classical Traditions in life and literature, and the relationship between literature and life. This allows us to understand the significance of Wu Mi, a pioneer loyal to tradition, a highly open-minded conservative, and an independent-minded idealist, as a crucial figure in the history of modern Chinese scholarship and thought.
