Introduction · · · · · ·
"Human Ci Talks" is the representative work of Wang Guowei, a master of modern Chinese studies. In the form of traditional Ci talks, it integrates Western philosophy, literature and aesthetics to provide a wonderful and unique commentary on traditional Chinese literature.

This book contains 64 edited and revised manuscripts of Wang Guowei's "Human Ci Talks" and 50 unpublished manuscripts, and provides appropriate annotations and translations of each, as well as Mr. Ye Jiaying's interpretation of Wang Guowei's "Human Ci Talks", allowing readers to easily enter the palace of Wang Guowei's literary and aesthetic thoughts. At the same time, the text is also accompanied by poems, ci tunes, Wang Guowei's "Human Ci" selection, Wang Guowei's life, and a brief biography of the ci poet.
