Focusing on ecocritical aspects throughout Chinese literature,
particularly modern and contemporary Chinese literature, the
contributors to this book examine the environmental and ecological
dimensions of notions such as qing (情) and jing (境). Chinese
modern and contemporary environmental writing offers a unique
aesthetic perspective toward the natural world. Such a perspective
is mainly ecological and allows human subjects to take a benign and
nonutilitarian attitude toward nature. The contributors to this
book demonstrate how Chinese literary ecology tends toward an
ecological-systemic holism from which all human behaviors should be
closely examined. They do so by examining a range of writers and
genres, including Liu Cixin’s science fiction, Wu Ming-yi’s
environmental fiction, and Zhang Chengzhi’s historical
narratives. This book provides valuable insights for scholars and
students looking to understand how Chinese literature
conceptualizes the relationship between humanity and nature, as
well as our role and position within the natural realm.
