Qian Zhongwen’s and Ye Xiushan’s “Literary Reflection Theory” are both innovative developments of traditional literary reflection theory, but they are quite different. As far as the “reflector” is concerned, The former emphasizes the creative subject, while the latter respects artists. There are obvious differences between the two in the positioning of the reflector and the elaboration of the ability of the reflector: the former positions the reflector as the “subject”, while the latter positions the reflector as the “person in the world”; The former values the “sense power” of the reflector, while the latter values the “insight power” of the reflector. As far as the “content of reflection” is concerned, although both insist that “literature and art are the reflection of real life”, there are differences in the definition of “real life” and the identification of the “content of reflection”: the former defines “real life” as “objective reality”, while the latter defines “real life” as “living world”; The former regards the “content of reflection” as “psychological reality”, while the latter regards it as “basic life”. As far as the “mode of reflection” is concerned, the former holds that it is the objective reality of “transforming” the creative subject, while the latter thinks that it is the artist’s “revealing” the basic life. The reasons for these differences are the differences in ideological motivation, theoretical basis, thinking mode and value orientation.
