The book features 18 influential essays by Professor Zhao Yiheng, exploring the evolution and characteristics of Chinese literature from traditional to modern times, alongside semiotic analysis. It is structured into three sections: traditional literature, contemporary literature, and semiotics. In the first section, Zhao delves into narrative cultural relations, ethical dilemmas, and the formal structures of traditional literature, using the play White Rabbit to illustrate the interplay between narrative structure and the complexities of Chinese novels and cultural stratification.
